Mr Dove and The Wizard - Murderous Mondays
News of the Times Episode 204 | 1855
In 1855, William Dove, a troubled man, is convinced that the wizard he had been seeing for some two years is authentic and can help him to improve his life.  When the wizard proclaims that William’s future holds a new wife – an attractive, auburn haired beauty with money, William sees the likely prospect in his neighbourhood and gets to work.  The only stumbling block – he has a current wife standing in his way.
This story, making national headline, caused a sensation in its day.  It was further fuelled when William’s previous history was revealed and that he had offered his soul to the Devil.
Mr Dove, the wizard and the murder is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

Hosted by Robin Coles.
