'Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery - all of those things we all hold near and dear to our hearts.' - Chicago, The Musical 

Unfortunately, the ONUC gals aren't discussing that Chicago this week. But, they are talking about the first murder on record for the famous Windy City. In this week's episode, the gals discuss the murder of Jean Lalime, give you a brief history of Canada, and why a kohen couldn't go to the Chicago History Museum until 2012.

*In this episode, there is some slight background noise. The podcast mascots (Fletcher, Claire, and Nox) are the culprits and they apologize (not really) for the slight distraction.*

It was called the 'Year of Miracles'. But, was it really? If brutal murder, earthquakes, and a squirrel migration in the millions is your ideal of a miracle then, maybe. This week the ONUC gals discuss the murder of George, the 'Year of Miracles', and how this case directly ties back to a previous episode. This was a wild year in the United States and that's why this is the longest episode we've done. Given the importance of this case, we aren't sorry for the length.

Trigger Warning Level: Medium
This case involves the brutal murder of a slave and discussion of suicide.
Description begins at 53:30 and ends at 55:55.

We are putting the other 'names' George is able to be searched by here. This is only so his story can be found in the event anyone searches for information on this case.
George Lewis - Slave George - Lilburn Lewis' Slave George

If a tree falls in Genesee County, New York, can anyone hear it? We aren't sure. But, if you cut it down you might get murdered for it. In this episode, the ONUC gals discuss James McLean aka 'The Man Who Was Hanged Twice' and his victims William Orr and Archibald McLaughlin. The gals talk about militias, why you should always read what you're signing, and why 'hanged to death' actually makes sense, in some cases.

Two Irishmen are walking down a road... sounds like the beginning of a joke right? In this episode, the ONUC gals cover the murder of Marcus Lyon and the trial and execution of Dominic Daley and James Halligan. It's a case of Protestant versus Roman Catholic, English versus Irish, and priest versus an entire town. Did Daley and Halligan do it? If not, who did? Don't worry... the gals have plenty of opinions and outrage to go around.

Welcome to part two of our coverage on Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the infamous duel in Weehawken! Stick around after the death of Aaron Burr to hear a bonus section on someone who, in the gals' opinion, is the unsung hero of the story. Of course, the gals can't waste an opportunity to reference Hamilton in this episode. How many did you hear? 

In this episode the ONUC gals discuss the life of Aaron Burr from being orphaned at infancy, to being a war hero, and eventually being arrested for treason. This week we will discuss the infamous duel in Weehawken in detail and what led to the death of Alexander Hamilton. Were there two shots fired or just one? Who shot first? (Kayla obviously has strong opinions.)
