S3 Ep21: The Fall of the Everleigh Club

S3 Ep21: The Fall of the Everleigh Club

On November 22, 1905 at 5:30 p.m, Marshall Field, Jr. was discovered at his residence with a gunshot wound through his left side. While some thought this was an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound, others believed the high-class brothel owners known as the Everleigh sisters, Minna and Ada, were responsible. This was the first of two deaths the sisters were attempted to be framed for. In today's episode, we investigate the scandalous Everleigh Club, the whispers surrounding brothels, and the Chicago red-light district.

"Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from the Obsessed Network exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.
