The Infamous Harry Hayward

A fascinating tale of seduction, murder, fraud, coercion—and the trial of the “Minneapolis Monster” – Teri Knight’s guest today is Shawn Francis Peters, author of “The Infamous Harry Hayward – a true account of murder and mesmerism in gilded age Minneapolis”.  At nearly every turn of the page, there are landmarks that nearly every Minnesotan knows. This was the “Crime of the Century” in 1894 and newspaper journalists from all over the country came to report on the 7 week trial.
