Smoked Yank: True dat, man. 🤜🏿

Well I suppose it depends on what one defines as simple, eye of the beholder and all that

It's easier, I think, for people to romanticise times they didn't live through.

There was a lot that was bad back then. There was the horror of what Arthur must have gone through in World War I and, in peacetime, there were problems of getting by financially, paying for health care, etc. Unless she had supportive parents, as Ethel did, life was impossible for a woman who had a baby without a man to support her. Who would care for the baby while she was at work? Even after the UK's welfare state was set up to give comprehensive care to all, "unmarried mothers" and their babies were excluded. The stigma was also a problem and pretending the baby son or daughter was a sibling was one subterfuge. It was certainly not a simpler time for these unfortunates. Add to that the shame and legal problems around divorce. We had a divorce in the family in the late 1940s and my grandmother spoke of the disgrace of it with distress years later. Divorce was such a serious matter that it was dealt with by the most senior civil court in Scotland and I wonder what it cost. No, not a simpler time!

I partly agree. I remember in the '80s when metal detectors began going up in schools. Also, there was a time when premarital sex was frowned upon, so being pregnant and unmarried was a very big deal (although the men who impregnated these women were not held in scorn). Women, and I assume a few men, waited until marriage, unlike now where it's common/normal to live together without marriage and also have many sex partners, beginning at a young age. Fifty years ago, there weren't almost daily mass shootings in the US, or so many individuals shooting and killing each other daily. Nudity on TV didn't exists. In some areas, people didn't lock their doors. Politicians were afraid of being caught lying. Crime, lawlessness, immorality are on the rise worldwide. So in a way we used to live in simpler time, but we also had slavery, and in recent history the world wars, gangland crimes during prohibition and many years of child sexual abuse by priests, even while society had strict moral standards.

Lol

U corned beef goofball ! 😅

oh same! I don't miss an episode of either channel!

Shut it

Two great channels and narrators who support each other in putting out great videos for us😄❤ Thank you both🤗

Amend the abbreviation to collab, or you'll be getting a visit from Rentokil.

Thank you for sharing!!!🙏😷

Great point

@@madmoiselle007 I agree! I still say it was self defense or it could be suicide 🤣

I was thinking that.

@@englishcountrylife3805 if we keep talking about it, we'll figure it out 🤣

I’m thinking it was a neighbor because the writer knew about the dog.

That’s cool

Cool! Both of these are very good and well researched. Nice that you are sharing.Have you checked out Kirsty Skye yet? She does a lot of interesting cases including a series called stolen sisters which specificly highlight missing indigenous women.

@@hondoklaatu1904 thank you for sharing the info. I will check it out

Delilah Hart SAME!!

I agree, to purposely kill the innocent dog was disgusting. I’m grateful that animal abuse is now a felony

So... It's ok to bump off the old man but not the dog? In for a penny...

@@suemcgregor9248 It's not okay to bump off anyone. However, animals are the most innocent and vulnerable beings, and it's beyond tragic how they often fall victims to evil people.

Y’all are absurd. The dog ate the leftover sandwich that she poisoned her husband with. She didn’t poison the dog on purpose like she did her husband. Silly people.

Well she was certainly plain.

Poor man died of Ethelepsy.

@@wrmacdonald9383 I see what you did there.

If he truly was as abusive as she claimed, then it was a murder, but not a crime.

agreed. Evil little witch.

🤦🏾‍♀️Of all of the things she could have accidentally said😂Big Oops!

Yep forensically unaware of the mouth there!

I made a mistake ... The quiet part out loud ... Oh dear ... 🤭

🤣🤣🤣

😂🤣😂

But the question is whether the poisoner chooses the method for the reason you describe, or because they think it would be harder for 1. experts to know it was homicide and not natural causes, and 2. knowing if the homicide was suicide or murder, and 3. if murder, who poisoned them. Also, people tend to think murder (of any kind) will be quicker an easier than reality, because of how TV and movies make it look. And fictional portrayals certainly don't give the milligrams-per-pound of body weight formula needed for any given poison to cause a human body to fully die. Almost all poisoning accounts I've heard stories about (dozens if not hundreds) required repeated poisonings. I don't think that was because the killer enjoyed watching the slow process; if anything, it just gave the victim a better chance of survival and the killer being caught, with repeat trips to the hospital, more and more experts considering what's wrong with the patient, etc. In short, there might be SOME poisoners who choose it for the evil enjoyment, but most are just ignorant.

Shooting is not hard work at all! It’s just that poisoning is easier to camouflage. It makes you wonder how many murders may have gone undetected simply because no one suspected an unhappy spouse. 🤔

@@riggs20 There's no way to know the number of undetected homicidal poisonings, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was half (or more) of all poisonings. I just looked this up: Rates of deaths being autopsied has been in free-fall for decades. In 1970 as many as 60% of people who died without an obvious cause like traumatic injury were autopsied. Now it's under 10%!!! And why? Because there are only about 500 full-time forensic pathologists IN. THE. WHOLE. COUNTRY. They are apparently not very well paid, and a lot of people who think they want to do it burn out quickly, with so much exposure to very depressing realities, and finding themselves in the middle of very contentious court cases with news coverage, getting death threats and all.

Call this off-topic, but it's also a very cruel way to rid a place of rodents. And stupid, because when they start feeling sick they tend to crawl into some tight space to be undisturbed by the others, and die where they can't be reached without tearing up the structure, but they certainly can be SMELLED, and then you're attracting insects.

@@audreymuzingo933 I’m reading your responses and am not sure if I should be impressed with or worried by the amount of thought you’ve put into this! 😄

I think are were MANY and it still goes on today

Women got away with A LOT of terrible things back then

Probably quite a lot, and it made it more difficult to catch new cases. Because doctors would start to expect death like that as natural, citing previous cases as evidence (that were really poisoned).

Oh tons… arsenic was the poison to use to kill people back then. People got away with it all the time

Thankyou

@@pinklady3885 Yes my nans outside toilet in the UK was always freezing lol... It was common for most houses to only have an outside toilet years ago until indoor plumbing was available 😀

@@pinklady3885 could even be a coal shed.

@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 My nans was a combined coal shed and toilet. Those were the days 😆

@@witchypoo3535 sounds similar to one on my parents old garden one side of the brick outhouse was the toilet the other side the coal house.

I was thinking the same thing Ewww! I’ve always heard auxiliary buildings that weren’t toilets called “out buildings”. It’s fun learning how terms are different the world over. 🙂

@@douglasbubbletrousers4763 Nah, most dogs are nicer than most people.

Damn right, leave the dog alone

Juries will instantly hate you just that much more.

@@HealingHappyAli exactly, the dog is the dog. Your neighbours probably won't care about your dead husband, but they will care about the dog.

Indeed. Just ask John Wick.

Smh- lies- this neighbor’s dog was all over- including in the victims property. Still sad about both dogs- her husband and the neighbor’s.

Brief Case are there any cases of British men married to black Women in the 1800s who murdered Their wives? I would love to hear Cases about that. Time 7:53AM Mon 6/28/21

Lol😁

I think that's why they hung her ?

@@tommymorgan4677 yes certainly 😁

I've always thought corned beef was a little over rated myself. I much prefer mutton or lamb. Strychnine sandwiches are definately off the menu though.

@@perrydowd9285 lol i'm veggie 😄

Thanks for watching :)

have you got a secret cctv camera set up WWH? that is exactly what happens ;-)

Do they wear deer stalker hats as well? 🙄

With a brandy…

That is really funny! I'm usually so late the town where the murder occurred has moved on.

Because back then separation (or whatever the step before divorce’s called), or anything remotely similar, not only didn’t legally exist but it wasn’t even dreamed of let alone considered - how could it have when divorce was already nearly impossible and frowned upon (to put it lightly)? Husbands and wives either stayed together or got divorced with the consequent huge scandal and ruin of reputation or, most extreme solution, the wife (or husband) ran away disappearing and abandoning the family.

@@LucienSabre I'm not sure you're entirely right, Lucien. I think if things became impossible, for example due to violence, some wives took the children and went to a relative. I remember in the 1950s there was a phrase "home to mother" referring to this. Of course, there might be nowhere for a battered wife to go with her children. Maybe she could leave them in an orphanage but I suppose the husband could take them from there. I don't know what the position would have been about a wife who had left with the children getting a court order from the magistrates for child maintenance. I should think the courts would have been very ready to insist a husband who had deserted his wife and children pay maintenance, but if the wife left ...?

@@judithm375 Wives at that time didn’t even dream of getting a court order….because that kind of laws didn’t exist until the late 1950s or 1960s if not later (before that all divorce laws were made to favor/advantage and prioritize the man’s side) - and even then women who did that got their reputation tarnished if not ruined. And women who ran to their relatives/parents/family had no laws or anything else protecting them when the husband came to take them back. Women have had no law granting them protection and some basic rights in case of divorce (and not only in that case) until after the first half of the 20th century.

@@LucienSabre correct. They had no property rights, nor rights to their own children. Also, let’s not forget the women who were institutionalized in lieu of divorce. To be clear, murder is wrong and should be punished. However, education on circumstances is beneficial.

Not back then divorce was viewed as shameful and the fault of the woman no matter the circumstances she would have been better off killing her children and herself if she had of gotten divorced.
