She had been shot through the head. The murder of Kittie Ging, a twenty-nine-year-old dressmaker, was the final act in a melodrama of seduction and betrayal, petty crimes and monstrous deeds that would obsess reporters and their readers across the nation when the man who likely arranged her killing came to trial the following spring. Shawn Francis Peters unravels that sordid, spellbinding story in his account of the trial of Harry Hayward, a serial seducer and schemer whom some deemed a "Svengali," others a "Machiavelli," and others a "lunatic" and "man without a soul." Dubbed "one of the greatest criminals the world has ever seen" by the famed detective William Pinkerton, Harry Hayward was an inveterate and cunning plotter of crimes large and small, dabbling in arson, insurance fraud, counterfeiting, and illegal gambling. His life story, told in full for the first time here, takes us into shadowy corners of the nineteenth century, including mesmerism, psychopathy, spiritualism, yellow journalism, and capital punishment. From the horrible fate of an independent young businesswoman who challenged Victorian mores to the shocking confession of Hayward on the eve of his execution (which, if true, would have made him a serial killer), The Infamous Harry Hayward unfolds a transfixing tale of one of the most notorious criminals in America during the Gilded Age"--viewed on Amazon.com 4-9-2018. 600 10 $a Hayward, Harry T., $d -1895. 600 10 $a Ging, Catherine M., $d 1865-1894. 600 17 $a Ging, Catherine M., $d 1865-1894. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00499180 600 17 $a Hayward, Harry T., $d -1895. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986674 650 0 $a Murderers $z Minneapolis $z Minneapolis $v Biography. 650 0 $a Murder $z Minneapolis $z Minneapolis $v Case studies. 651 0 $a Minneapolis (Minn.) $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Murderers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029821 651 7 $a Minnesota $z Minneapolis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204260 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRUE CRIME / Murder. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Peters, Shawn Francis, 1966- $t Infamous Harry Hayward. $d Minneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, [2018] $z 9781452957111 $w (DLC) 2017058076 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020010637.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2737C9662E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
