    I'm sure I speak for hundreds when I say, "I've missed you!" As usual, however, you were worth the wait: the narrative, the voice, the rhythm, the scholarship--all of it, priceless. How can an "Essay Channel" be so thrilling it fires the imagination for days yet, so melodious it puts a forever insomniac to slumber through the night? I don't know, but it--and you--are awesome!

    What a blow to it must have been to realize that having it all would never be enough. I guess in this case it was at least enough to get her off the hook.
    "People in those days had a keen sense of minding other people's business". Hahaha, a comfort indeed to be surrounded by such community-minded souls. Poison pen letters, hoax telegrams intruding on other people's tragedy. Just goes to show Twitter trolling is nothing new.

    Just yesterday was wondering when our favorite true-life-murder master storyteller would be posting a new video, and, HURRAH! here you are!!! So glad you're back, Mark!
    And now to watch the story video... hot cuppa in hand.
    ------
    Have just finished watching -- fascinating story, Mark! And, it's certainly apparent she did him in. One wonders at what point in time she found the letters. But, whenever it was, it's clear that the content drove her into a psychotic rage, as she could have easily divorced him and named Iris as correspondent and moved on with her life.
    One could imagine that the contents contained demeaning descriptions of Frances and frank statements that he didn't love her and was no longer attracted to her. Which would leave only one reason for a womanizer such as he to have gone through with the marriage after being apart for a year -- her money.
    I also wonder if there were some suggestions in those letters that he was going to 'get rid of' Frances which would have left him a very wealthy man with a beautiful young girl to turn to, hmmm. Because it doesn't seem reasonable that a 19 y/o is going to be willing to remain a mere mistress forever while putting up with her own husband, so there must have been some sort of plan that was evident in the letters. One that, clearly, didn't include Frances and one that she was not going to allow.
    Well, she sorted it for all three of them... and got away with it!
    By the way, that strychnine label you showed gave me a thrill as it was from a chemist in Santa Paula, Calif., my home State! Before I moved to So. Oregon six years ago, I used to drive through Santa Paula and pass that building (939 Main St - now E. Main St.) at least four or five times a month when I would drive to Ojai for a day's respite.

    I've never heard of this case. I enjoyed listening to how you presented your analysis. I was wondering early on why Frances would kill Hubert. After, she had successfully divorced one philandering husband already. Why not use the proven method? When you presented the case, you made me realize that I hadn't taken jealousy and the classic wrath of the woman scorned into account.

Your return with an essay for TH-cam on s a lovely gift to your readers. Well done with this one! It reminds me of an American saying, warning young men against infidelity with a married lady. It states: “Never monkey with another monkey’s monkey!!” Good advice, I’m sure! Clearly, going against this advice can lead to a most foul fowl!

      I have witnessed a wild dog succumbing to Strychnine poisoning and , quite frankly , it was a cruel and distressing experience. That a person could deliberately poison another in this manner is totally cruel and unforgivable, eh?

      Susie - how nice! Did you find the point at which the attack occurred? I actually clambered up through brambles behind the bungalows, getting torn to pieces, and found the old bungalow The Laurels. Only the ruins remain, with trees growing up through it. But it was nice to find my way about all the specific locations as I tried to create a map of the exact locations for the book.

    Another masterpiece! One of the most intriguing murder mysteries ever, which I wanted to see as a book. Although, the book was written on this crime , but the author has not made much headway with regard to solving the mystery- who murdered Hubert Chevis. But this insight comes only from the research undertaken by yourself on this case, Mark! This is amazingly detailed. You give the facts, and you do so in an analytical and logical fashion. There are many facts about their life that you have discovered. You did a really great job, which underscores your higher-order thinking and literary skills and your great intuition.We are fortunate that the unsolved murder of Hubert Chevis is not a mystery anymore, as the secret has been revealed by you! Although, you named the true murderer, but she got away with murder. It is written beautifully and captivating from start to finish. This documentary is nothing short of professional: your script, editing, sketches, music, your usual high standard of narration, and, also, perfectly conveyed: the post- crime life of Mrs. Chevis and the details of Iris Morley's life . Congrats!

    Very much appreciated hearing a new episode from you! I was very impressed by the literary qualities you brought to bringing out Frances's interior "queeziness" about what she did as the doctor did his examination. It reminded me very much of Poe, as in The Tell-Tale Heart. The precision you bring to these histories is always a highlight. Thank you!!
