Berthe Claiche’s Revenge
Ad-Free Safe House Edition
Episode 298 relates the sad story of Berthe Claiche, whom we met briefly in episode 297 when she gave a necklace to her cellmate, Josephine Terranova. I normally like to mix things up a bit, but these two tales have a lot in common, interesting back stories about immigrants struggling to adapt to American ways, courtroom theatrics, and sympathetic abused female defendants. Not that murder is ever a good idea, but if I were in their shoes... What do you think?
Culled from the historic pages of the New York Evening World, the New York Sun, and other newspapers of the era.
