Brief Case, these videos are brilliant each week! The script is well written and the photos help illustrate the time period. Truly, well done. You always make my Mondays brighter.

Hey BC. I wanted to thank you for your awesome work. I’ve had the worst two weeks ever. My big brother took his own life June 25th and it’s been a lot of pain and sadness. Creators like you have given me a somewhat of a reprieve from my grief. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

He probably did do it but the defence lawyer was able to show reasonable doubt in the prosecutions case. I wonder what happened to her "husband"? It must've been heartbreaking to lose the love of his life but also to find out she was still a working girl behind his back. I hope he ended up having a nice life.

It always seems to me that a lawyer who has to belittle the victim to get a not guilty verdict for his client knows his client is actually guilty. That, and his insincerity on the stand, makes me think he got away with murder. There are several others who could've done it, but I still think he's the most likely one.

Why no one looked at the mother. She didn’t want her son to marry a prostitute. She murdered her, went back outside and acted like she couldn’t get in.

He got away with it. He was well connected and from a good” family. She wasn’t. I cringed at the cheers from the crowd after the trial when there was so much hypocrisy and class consciousness involved. Thank you for a fascinating episode.

How sad that a poor woman would never get justice when a higher rank man was involved. Yes she was a prostitute, but a human being and maybe when they got married she could have stopped adding to the income. My mother was born in poverty . Their was my grandparents, 2 sons, 3 daughters and the lodger in 2 rooms and my grandmother cooked every day for her father. My grandfather worked on the railway and my grandmother had to take in laundry to make ends meet. My mother exited herself up with her hard working ethic. Poor Emily only did the only thing she knew to make money and that branded her as a lesser human. Thank you so much for the hard work you put in to bring these cases to light 👵👋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Prostitutes were and still are very vulnerable to violence from their clients, some drunk, some mentally ill, some with strange sexual ambitions. Also vulnerable in those days was anyone who appeared to be out of the ordinary, lived unconventional lives, acted oddly etc, and there were numerous cases where this was seen as making them likely to commit crime. So its understandable that given society's prejudices of the time the Police would add 2 and 2 together and make 5.

Thank you for going through the trial. I am a lawyer and like to hear how attorneys operated in the past.

You know what's sad about such cases? It's that not a lot has changed since then... I see so many women who are victims of crimes committed against them, being judged as if THEY were the criminals! It's always "justified" with the clothes they were wearing, their non submissive behaviour... It's complicated to be a woman. Only we know. Thank you Brief Case for bringing these old crimes and giving these people some voice! I've lived 5 years in B'ham and now that I'm back to Brazil I watch your videos every week and enjoy the story telling and British accent, which I miss! Cheers from Rio de Janeiro 🌻💋

Always a treat to have a new episode from you BC. Interesting, if also unsettling, how the trials of accused murderers often end this way when the victim has a checkered past or belongs to a " lower class" or ethnic group. Whether or not she chose the wrong path for her life, she certainly still deserved justice.

Because of her “profession” she (and women in general) were always responsible for their own deaths! Men were never considered responsible for much of anything at that time even though they were also responsible for some women having to go into that profession in the first place!

Wonderful day for a brief case! I think he did it, but I also think it couldn't be proven beyond doubt. I'm glad that judges are no longer allowed to tell juries which way to vote! That picture of Ruby is fantastic, her expression is so vivid, you can really get a feel for her personality.

I used to hate Monday mornings but, I really look forward to your videos. Thank you for making my Monday better!

On what a tangled web we weave !!! Is it a case of money speaking louder than the truth ? Great story telling

Sometimes I try to only listen to your presentations as I do chores....never works. The beauty of your visual research is absolutely remarkable. Thank you, again, for increasing the quality of my nights.

The whole time I knew I had seen this case before. And then you wondered if he got away with murder. And I remembered, the channel They Got Away With Murder had a video about this case 4 years ago. 😊 Don’t remember what his verdict was.

Well researched case, once again. Getting away with murder does not free one from guilt. Society had and still has many of these characters, unfortunately starting out in London with little resources is the beginning of life on the wrong side of the tracks. Great work B. C.

Thank you Brief Case. You make Mondays suck a WHOLE LOT LESS❤

Hello CR, without you, my Monday would definitely be VERY boring!

Of course the woman was blamed for her own murder. I do think it was Mr. Wood. But yes, it could've been one of her clients. In particular the very shady dude with a knife; especially if syphilis was involved. Thanks BC for narrating another interesting case.

I could listen to you read dishwasher instructions and still find it interesting. 😍 love your content but often have to re-listen because your voice is so soothing it’s what I listen to when I’m going to bed

I look forward to these every Monday, thank you so much BC for your consistently great videos.

Hi B.C. I feel so bad for her. Because of what she used to do or still did, no one seemed to care. I think because of that, they let him walk. I so love you and it really is such a joy to come here. Thank you for all you do for us and until the next brief case❤

Always such an interesting start to the week with Brief Case. Thank you for giving us this little peek back in time every week. Wishing all who see this a wonderful week! 🙏🖤✌️

One of the few Brief Cases that turned out to be a Cold Case

Hey Briefy! It's midnight here in Finland, and this is the perfect time to watch this vid. Thank you kindly for making these videos! You're awesome :)

Thank you so much BC your voice is so soothing. I have trouble sleeping because of nightmares, but with your videos I'm able to have safe sleep. No bad dreams, no fear. Thank you.

What a great way to wake up, I was grumpy because I'd woken up at 5am then I saw a new case from brief case in an instant I was happy to have woken up. Thank you for all of your great research and videos ❤

Another fascinating story, well told and in detail. We know so much from it but still cannot identify a culprit with certainty. This one will remain a mystery forever. Thank you Brief Case.

I literally have to start my Mondays with Briefcase or my day does not go well at all lol. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the channel, I appreciate you!

You can really tell a great murder mystery!!!! Once again, great research, pictures and your voice is so calming and engaging. Well done my friend!!!❤

I just wanted to say I love this and I find these cases so interesting keep up the great work

That was a strange case, I’m still pondering the ‘whys’ etc , thank you for telling her story BC.

I can listen to these cases, and most of them I don't have to watch. The narration is soothing!

🎀Thank you for the upload. I love the crime documentaries you post.🎀

Love you and the work you do for us, BC!

Emily, according to the times. She was of low morals. I don't see it like that. Women needed money. They put their lives on the line every day. Robert was a narcissist. He went and testified probably like a proud peacock. Wow! The crowd should have been ashamed of themselves. But, more importantly. He got away with murder. Why would her young man kill her?! It's trouble. Everyone stay safe. ✌️ BC, good one. 👍

It could have been anyone of the clients that she came into contact with i highly doubt there will ever be a resolution to this case not at this point in time

Thank you for your well done videos B.C. You always find great stories to share. Wish nice week

Thanks BC I have been with you for years, I love your videos.

Happy morning BC. Have a wonderful week and thank youbfor everything. ❤

Simply brilliant as usual BC. Keep up the good work! The public tends not to be sympathetic towards prostitutes, though there services are so well received.

Good morning BC thank you for the Monday video! Hope you have a great day! ❤️❤️

Thank you.😊

Wow! Such detail! Excellent depiction Mr Case!👍🏻

I'm always grateful for your Time!

I should be working but i sit a bit and wait,good afternoon BC family 😊

I remember this and the other case mentioned from the excellent radio adaptation of "The Trails of Marshall Hall". Ty for your presentation of it & all your stellar work. Cheers once again fr Nashville! ✔👍👏👋✌

That part about asking the suspect to write a postcard to "Darling Phyllis" and signing it from Alice is strange.

Brilliant as always! Thank you cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I’m late to the party this week! Thank you BC❤

Hello!!! I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for doing these for us. Take Care...Great Video!!!...🇺🇲🦋

Thanks for another interesting topic...

Hello BC, I have to say, I am always so intrigued by these cases and the history and knowledge, you bring to your listeners. I even think some of these cases, would make good docudramas. Thankyou for your impressive work, it is much appreciated. 👍👍

Great story as usual well done 👏🏼

Always excited to BC pop up with a new video 😊

What a story...well done

Hi there, I have been watching your videos, I must say their all interesting, very well done, thank you, you stand out as special in you own right

Interesting length of your narration. 22:22. Great story. Interesting twist. Love the architecture in your pictures. Amazing.

Ugh, Monday. Ooh, Brief Case!

I haven't been listening to these. But they are so good. I always e it these when I get time to listen. Awesome channel

Great job telling this story! I'm pretty sure I've never heard of so many Bert's in one story, though! Lol Bertram, several Robert's, some Berts...😊

Thank you for another Briefcase story💋

One of the coldest cases ever, I more ways than one. Will we ever know the truth? Thanks Brief Case!

Another amazing Brief Case

Ohhhh. I’ll have to listen later.

Good morning, everyone from a tiny village, Wisconsin USA.

That was just fantastic brief case. Very interesting and recalled with great detail. 🇮🇪🧚‍♂️☘️

It's the first time that I watch immediately after getting the notification, with no views before me!

You sir, are so good at this stuff

Really love your videos - could you please do one about an ancestor of mine - 8 February 1923: William Rooney is hanged for kicking 21-year-old Gunnings Mill factory worker Lilly Johnston to death in Cookstown, after being convicted at the Ulster Winter Assizes in Belfast - he was the last man hung at Londonderry jail - thank you - Debbie x

It is typical that the victim was made to look terrible so the accused can look better. He likely did it as his reasons for the postcard make no sense. But his lawyer did a better job and the community then (and now), like to make their own assumptions about "proper decency." If you don't follow suit, you are a target. Poor lady.

Thank you BC 🌻🕊

Great! Ty

Great job BC 👍🇨🇦

Good morning brief case!! Hope you have an awesome day enjoy!! From Illinois 😊
