Historic NEPA Crimes

This episode chronicles the case of Dominick Delfino, an Italian immigrant accused of murdering Dometrio Morabito in Archbald, Pennsylvania, in 1916. Despite his initial conviction and death sentence, Delfino maintains his innocence and asserts the killing was in self-defense against a member of the Black Hand Society. The discussion outlines his dramatic escape from jail, his life as a fugitive using various aliases in Canada and the United States, and his eventual recapture seven years later. Throughout his time on the run and after his re-imprisonment, new evidence and conflicting testimonies emerge, including a deathbed confession from another individual, although these ultimately fail to prevent his execution by electric chair in 1924.
