Who put Elma in the Well? A. Burr and A. Ham are on the case. Spoiler alert: this first murder trial of our brand new nation does not paint them in the best light. Gulielma’s young life was taken from her in the winter of 1799, and you can to this day see the well in which her body was found…in a Swedish clothing store in the fancy shopping mecca of SoHo, Manhattan . Come for the Hamilton references, stay for the fact that JESUS CHRIST THIS YOUNG WOMAN DESERVED JUSTICE NOT A CIRCUS. Also in this episode: lucky pennies, kippers, orange curd, and a new president.
