Arsenic in Islington: The Seddons, 1912 by Mark John Maguire

[@TheyGotAwayWithMurder]

A number of people have asked if they can help support my channel - I don't have any adverts on my channel (and don't intend to) but if anyone wishes to help defray the expenses of making these videos in some small way, they can buy me a cup of coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/MarkJohnMaguire

Just tried to do so Mark..... Unfortunately the cobwebs in my brain cells refused to allow me access to my PIN and I got locked out! (I have not bought anything with this card on-line.....so never used the PIN....Sorry!) My intentions were good!...I'll get back to you!

Frederick Seddon was my great great uncle .my great grandmother his sister visited him days before he was hung and swore it was his wife who poisoned Eliza .researched lots on uncle Freddie over the last 30 years .they were both guilty and she got away with murder .great to see photos of my great great grandfather near the end of the documentary

Story telling at its finest. No irritating or redundant backing or soundtracks. Beautifully annunciated and wonderfully in depth researching. This channel will surely grow and grow. How strange that (for myself at least) so many of these odious people were still lingering about when I was a lad.

[@MelanieMaguire]

​@Peggy SmulliganMy understanding is that the name "flat" came about because the living unit was all on one floor - no upstairs/downstairs. Typically a large house divided into separate living units - each on a single floor. In UK the name "apartment" is used for upscale, more luxurious units - large spacious top end units.

[@Nettsinthewoods]

The way the Siddons undertook the murder of poor Ms Barrow makes me wonder if anyone else had suffered the same fate at their hands in the past. The murder had so much meticulous detail tying it up over some considerable time, some poor soul must have fallen in a first rehearsal. Mrs Seddon being let off by the judge may well have been a bow to the Freemason code. Excellent video of this chilling tale.

[@kouldbanyone4983]

That was one of my first thoughts also.

[@sugarpuffbutty]

@@kouldbanyone4983 She was in agony for 14 days - it looks like a first attempt to me, messy and amateurish. That said, it's such a terrible thing to have done and the Seddons works so well together, it does make one believe that if they hadn't been caught, there would have been others (if not already a few skeletons in the closet?)

Yes, fascinating, Margaret - I have difficulty with the husband's complete innocence (although it is not impossible) but I have no doubt whatever that Margaret played a major role in the murder.

[@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820]

Still one of my favorite channels, it seems like there’s no end to the fascinating stories to be told about this era of history. It’s unbelievable how many people got away with murder back then, and these are just the ones that we know of. How many other deaths were attributed to natural causes and were never even suspected of being murders? It’s a chilling thought for sure.

[@JOYOUSONEX]

I think that Margaret Seddon got off in part because of what I refer to as "the Lizzie Borden effect". Borden was found not guilty by an all male jury due to the belief that a woman was not capable of murdering her parents. This is, as usual, a great story. Well narrated, documented and the photos were wonderful.

[@TheyGotAwayWithMurder]

That is an astute point, and I agree with you. There was a tendency to see women as very much subordinate to the man at that time, and even if the woman was strongly believed to have committed the murder, her guilt was lessened by her acting "under the authority" of the man.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

Sir Bernard Spilsbury was a pathologist, brilliant before his time.! I really enjoy your narrative , it matches perfectly and compliments the storytelling of crime occuring years gone by... Great work....🖤

[@TheyGotAwayWithMurder]

I agree - Spilsbury went out of favour in the 1930s and received a great deal of criticism for the confidence he had in his own methods and judgement (some said over-confidence), but he was a remarkable man, who did more for forensic science and its use in courts (over mere circumstantial evidence) than anyone else. He carried out 400-500 autopsies each year for nearly 40 years. It must have been a grim occupation - and he committed suicide in his own lab just before Christmas in 1947. An irony that must surely not have escaped him at the time, that he ended up on a coroner's slab himself.

Thank you for your kind comment, Patricia. Islington is a part of London I am not familiar with, but I intend to visit it as soon as this wretched coronavirus thing ends... Doing some research at the British Library last August I arrived early and so walked a little way along the Euston Road - and I was quite astonished to come across the Rising Sun (the pub which figured prominently in the first of my videos - Robert Wood). I was quite thrilled to have come across it (now called The Rocket) and went inside and wandered about a little, imagining the chief protagonists in that murder milling about...

This is a wonderful retelling of a story I know well, being as I live in Islington and that the Seddons are almost as well known as Crippen. Gripping narration and some wonderful old photos. Thank you.

[@janetcw9808]

Also, didn't Crippen say that his mistress had nothing to do with the murder? Good wishes.

[@estherdoyle8175]

@@janetcw9808 I don't believe Crippen himself had anything to do with it either. Plenty of evidence out there says the body part found was of a man! Poor old Crippen tried to shield Ethel le Neve. I used to live round the corner from Hilldrop Crescent where he lived.

Thank you, Esther - I am sure these locations are well-known to you, then! I wonder are the people at 63 Tollington Park aware of the history of the house?

[@davidg-ig8vj]

Thanks for this. You're a great storyteller!

[@TheyGotAwayWithMurder]

Thank you very much, David!

I'm a true crime buff and have just found your channel. I love the thoroughness of the story, your great narration, the pictures, and it's all content that I haven't seen or heard of before. Thank you so much, I've subscribed!!

[@a_lucientes]

Amazing content and presentation. Thank you. Im working my way through all of your videos. I dont know how old your channel is, but 24k is woefully under-subbed for the quality you're creating. I have no doubt it is going to keep growing and growing at a regular pace. Thanks again!

[@maggiebastolla5430]

Very interesting story, and I LOVE the narration.

[@maxasaurus3008]

Dear God it is so nice to hear proper English! Thank you!❤❤

[@jenspedersen4509]

Yeah, innit?

[@gigig2492]

I discovered your channel only a few days ago and have been binge watching since! Thank you for your excellent work! Liked, subbed, etc

[@TheyGotAwayWithMurder]

Welcome aboard and thank you, Gigi!

[@ajalvin2012]

Same here. Binge watched . 0 jobs done 🤣🤣🤣

[@cottonaj]

Wonderfully done! I look forward to many more videos.

[@chetdeter5137]

Wonderfully done, as always. I hope that the heirs were able to bring a civil suit against Margaret to recover some of the which should have gone to them. I would hope that the will was contested.

This channel is that rare & precious Blue Carbuncle which awaits a thrilling & enriching discovery hidden as it is in the 'disjecta membra' of the plump & cornfed-fattened goose that is KZbin. One is lucky indeed to discover it.
