YESTERDAY’S NEWS -- Tales of classic scandals, scoundrels and scourges told from historic newspapers in the golden age of yellow journalism...
The Implication Of Fred Wheeler 
Episode 379 tells the scandalous and tragic story of a young business school student who enters into an unfortunate relationship with her sponsor, a wealthy cattle dealer 30 years her senior. He’s on the scene when she turns up dead with a mysterious gunshot wound in her head, and the resulting trial is a textbook example of a judicial circus with surprise witnesses, courtroom theatrics, and a crowd of overly exuberant spectators. Pay particular attention to the subplot involving the dead girl’s mother.
Culled from the historic pages of the Boston Globe, the New York Daily News, and other newspapers of the era.
