@@darrellshoub7527 Agree. I love learning about the olden days as well. I watch Dateline and 48 Hrs, but this channel is the only YT or crime podcast I watch. Somehow "charming" is the right word!
Just remember in these “tales” that there was an actual innocent person who was victimized and had their life destroyed. So as you you sit back and relax, imagine the hell that these REAL people went through.
This was a very "typical," case of how wealthy influential people try to take advantage of the everyday average hard working people. I'm thrilled that this young woman was acquitted of killing her lecherous employer. Glad to hear that she went on to have a good life, also. Great investigating, presentation and photos, too.
I'm not sure about "typical, or just being the wealthy who abused power. There was plenty of abuse of women and children by all members and scales of society. All many people needed was the opportunity to do so, wealthy or not.
This was such an emotional rollercoaster! I started out dreading such a nice girl being murdered, then thought, oh no, she is going to get herself hanged, then disbelief and relief at the verdict. Most excellent story telling, sir!
@@BriefCaseOfficial It makes me want to go to that cemetery! I live in Niagara Falls Ontario and my grandparents came over in 1913 from England to work on a farm.
Poor woman. For once, it’s so good to know that people can be reasonable and compassionate. She was so fortunate to be able to secure the services of such a great lawyer as well. It could easily have gone very badly for this vulnerable and terrified young woman.
Reminds me a lot about my step great grandmother’s story; she was an Irish immigrant and succeeded in getting a maid’s job for Timothy Eaton in Toronto. During a poker game he lamented about needing to fire her to some drinking companions because she was pregnant out of wedlock. She claimed to have been raped by an uncle but that’s what all loose women say… My great grandfather was one of those drinking companions. He was widowed with a large farm just northeast of Toronto and had two daughters under the age of 10. So instead of Timothy Eaton firing his maid…my great grandfather married her. He gave her son his name in return for helping him raise his girls and run the farm. Fairly sure the pair never loved each other but they had respect.
Ginger Kid Most marriages back then were not based on love anyway. But these marriages were based on trust and respect which were much healthier and long lasting, unlike today. My grandmother's and aunts had the same kind of marriages as these
People probably had more realistic expectations of marriage in the past. Marriage can be hard work. Your grandparents realised they were both in a bind. And decided to build a family together. I'm glad they had respect for each other.
@@aimeefriedman822 That’s right! One of the best known malls in the country is still named after them. The Eaton Centre is in the heart of Toronto’s downtown and attracts millions of people each year.
I'm always fascinated by these pre 1950 cases other true crime channels don't tend to go back that far so you don't tend to hear of these elsewhere so it's always appreciated when you cover them.
My great great grandmother was in London at this time. She passed on all the social braces to her family including my grandmother so of course we had to learn them. She loved that era I never understood why people love the Victorian era it wasn't nasty and filthy and run by men I sure wouldn't want to live back then but then again some things I don't want to see like the first car like my first electric light bulb I feel sorry for this poor woman she didn't deserve anything she got that's horrible so worst time to be alive for women
@@giddyup4232 Hello. It is all right the use of the Simple Present Tense in this case, when referring to past events as if they were happening now. Best wishes!
10:55 I totally agree with the reader who wrote in. What's terribly sad is that in almost a century, women still struggle with this issue. Even sicker is that the wealthy continue to think that they're still entitled to do what and whomever they want! 😠
@@lazyhomebody1356 Not sure about that, I have family members that went to "prep" schools and this has never been an issue. Maybe the schools was not as expensive as the ones you mention though.
@@suzannehaigh4281 I dated a guy whose little sister went to a MA prep school and they seemed nice enough,lol. Went there to see her in plays. But I have heard that multiple times! Not all schools though
Baloney,show us one iota of difference in this case and what goes on every day to women and CHILDREN in any ghetto in this world. For every low down dirty rat of a rich man there are a thousand good decent GOD loving rich men. For clarity I am not ,nor ever been rich and never set foot in any ghetto. I just make it my business to know the world I live in.
Oh, please. What utter crap. There is no proof whatsoever that this woman was anything other than a murderer. Grow up. Not all women are saints, and not all men are monsters. That's just sexists Leftist garbage that you repeat because it strokes your ego to do so.
Agreed!! He probably thought due to his family's wealth & prominence he was exempt from any consequence for his actions. I'm glad she stood her ground & it worked out for her.
Oh phew! What a champ her lawyer was. Bravo Mr Dewert. As Hercules Poirot would say, "I do not approve of murder." But I really thought that it was going to be Carrie who was murdered. I cannot deny a massive sense of relief that it was the other way round! It had been so common for Masters to abuse young maids, either by outright assault as in this case, or by tricking them into believing that they were in love and would do anything for them. Massey first tried.the latter with the ring and appreciation rubbish. Then the girls ended up thrown out, had their reputation tarnished or ended up dead. And more often than not pregnant. Men like Massey make my skin crawl whenever I come across them in history, and I'm glad this one found out. Carrie admitted her actions from the start and thankfully was believed as to why. This being even more unusual given the man's social and family status. I'm so glad for her that things turned out the way they did. I just can't help it! Brilliant work Brief Case!
Sadly, almost all female ancestors I have that used to work as maids, had kids out of wedlock. Only one two of them have I figured out exactly who the father was even though the birth register said it was an "unknown" father. And surprise, surprise...the father was the man in the household where the woman had worked as a maid. Sad story, but oh so common. I can definitely understand why this one felt the need to do what she did. She had one helluva good lawyer, though.
What an engrossing story! What I found most admirable was the fact that so much of the public rallied around her and raised the funds for her defense and such a reputable lawyer. If they hadn’t have done so, she almost certainly would’ve been found guilty if she hadn’t had decent representation in court back then- especially going against an all-male jury. It most definitely helped her case to get people to see her side of the story in a well-thought out manner. It’s tragic that she was even put in this position at all.. and so many other women have been in the same position as she’s been, and she didn’t want to end up a victim. This court case definitely broke down barriers and helped pave the way for women’s rights in the courtroom in Canada.
Loved Carrie's story and her triumph in a time when it was rare for a woman to be considered seriously at all especially if she was below the station of her adversary. I've been listening to your channel for a long time. I look forward to the content, steps of the event during times when technology was not and listening to your voice. Thank you for such interesting cases and elegant, respectful presentations.
A nice ending. I really don't see any other reason than the one she gave as to why she did it. She had absolutely nothing to gain by murdering him, except peace of mind. Thank you, Mr. Case. Your hard work is always appreciated. 😉
Exactly, she only had things 2 lose like employment, ability 2 help support mom and sisters, place to live, and way 2 support her needs. Makes no sense that this young woman who never had any trouble with police or community/society would just turn into a killer 1 day and decide her employer would be her 1 and only victim. I understand that can happen but I don't think that's the situation here. I believe this woman felt like her honor was in jeopardy and in that time if she was dishonored, by force or not didn't matter, her life would pretty much be over. I say her life in the sense of no marriage proposition's, losing home, no employment opportunities, maybe having to prostitute as last employment resort, shunned by community and pretty much losing her life without actually dying.
How vulnerable were all these people entering a house as domestic servants just to earn a living and better themselves. I'm so happy this wonderful young lady still had a life after such horrendous circumstances!
My great grandmother was born out of wedlock in the late 19th century. She was passed on to another family as a baby and at the age of 15 she was send from her German home town to France to be a servant girl. She was abused as well. There wasn't much you could do against that as a girl at the time. She married an older widower when back in Germany in her late 20s.
This is still happening but here in Asia. Sadly in the middle east where women from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are hired as domestic workers by wealthy Arabs have frequently been assaulted, persecuted and raped. This nonsense still goes on..
She protected herself from losing here virtue and that was when we were a moral society. Now we have open homosexuality on the TV on a daily dasis. Good fit this women she never got in trouble again so apparently she was just saving herself for her husband.
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub And what's the moral problem with homosexuality? There is none. In this day and age there is no moral duty to produce offspring anymore. The world already is overpopulated. What's immoral is to impose your outdated morals on others. Monotheism is a radical worldview incompatible with finding world peace. Luckily your world view is rapidly disappearing. Education for women is overcoming your evil grip on personal freedom. Give yourself a push and accept reality...
So pleased she was found not guilty! Did she overreact? Maybe, should she have shot him? No. But it was a different time where young girls were taught that nobody would marry a 'fallen woman' so she truly did believe if he had his way her life would be ruined, plus she was obviously terrified! Only 18 and in a different country without her mum, the outcome would have been totally different if her sister had given better advice and support and not just sent her back!
First of all, we don't know the circumstances, or the age of her sister. If she was also young, then she didn't have the advantage of life's experience, or the wisdom that comes with it. Unable to predict what the future would hold, and a victim of a sheltered Victorian upbringing, and a patriarchal society herself, I can imagine her sister was giving her the advice that seemed best for her at the time. Who among us hasn't made choices we thought prudent at the time, yet turned out to be at best, undesirable, and at worst, disastrous? It's a tragedy all around, and my guess is that her sister felt awful for how this turned out. As any loving sister would. Now, if her sister was anything like mine, she would've cared only for herself, and her intent would've been to wreak havoc upon her sibling. But we don't really know either way, do we?
This was a most interesting story. Seems there is invariably an older male in the household who feels the staff is there for his sexual amusement and gratification. Burt got his comeuppance, Carrie was very fortunate she had an attorney who was skilled at his craft. Brief Case I do so enjoy your narrations and visuals as well as the background sounds. Your work shows your talent. It is greatly appreciated, I thank you. Have a fantastic day.
I used to see Massey/Fergusson tractors in the fields of India when I was a child. If only I'd known of the terrible history behind this Company I'd have been a writer much earlier! Thank you for your marvelous report!
Thank you Mr. Case for another excellent presentation! I was so relieved to find that she was found not guilty. That was more than a hundred years ago. I think the result of the trial would have been exceptional at that time. I am very glad for her. But, here we are 100 years later and seem to be moving backwards in terms of respect for women. As you know, in this country anyway, a female victim of sexual assault is blamed, vilified, attacked. Her sister advised her to go back to work and not say a word. Many women still give that advice. I fear that we are taking too many steps in the wrong direction when it comes to human rights. But please know that I am ecstatic about this young woman's victory! 👍👏❤️
I have no idea where Brief Case finds all of these cases and the additional details to flesh them out. But thank goodness he does and brings them to us in a factual, non-sensationalized way.
The support she got is heartening. I think working in domestic service 100+ years ago must have been the most dangerous job one could have, even more then coal mining. Unbelievable.
For women from poor asian countries like the phillipines this is still the case. I had a philipino neighbour who did some years in service to a wealthy family in Qatar. She was in constant fear from the depravities of the male members of the household. She firmly believed if she had stayed she would have died. They had taken her passport but she was able to get the support to retrieve it and flee the country.
Another great story well narrated. Thankfully the verdict was on her favour and she able to live her life happily. She deserved a fair chance at life after everything she went through and I admire her for her charitable work . May she rest in perfect peace
I am very glad that she was found not guilty. She had every right to protect herself from her Male employer. Thank you Briefcase for another great story. Keep up the good work.👍😄
Very interesting case. Glad Carrie was found not guilty. She had a lot of support and a good lawyer. There was a historical fact here regarding the history of Massey manufacturing. Thank you. 👍🏻🙏
As a Canadian, I can say with sadness that nothing has changed here. A women still fears this, rightfully so and now we have a law that states that if the offender is drunk he is not responsible. All of these years later, woman are still at risk.
Oh, Breif Case, such a well balanced story you have told again. I find great suspense in your telling of the truth. I am drawn to your channel because you don't use cheap sensationalism to "juice up" the story. You tell riveting details, while giving details of both parties.
Thank You, Brief Case, for another EXCELLENT video! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 She lived a better life than if she would have stayed there. I'm sure she went through hell after shooting him,but she was protecting herself! Women get attacked, and still get blamed! Take good care, Brief Case, and everyone! 💚💚💚🤗💐🕷️🕸️🦋🍀💫☀️🪐🌙☄️
Sounds like a happy ending to me. I was recounting to my friend how many times I’ve been touched and harassed even when I asked and eventually demanded for them to stop. It gets to be too much. I totally understand her reaction. Poor thing had dealt with a lot in her young life and she couldn’t even feel safe where she slept. That is psychological stress/trauma. I am glad she had support, that sort of shocked me based on how women were treated back in the day.
A study indicated that one-third of the prostitutes.during Victorian times began as domestic servants who were "ruined" by their male employers and then discarded. Without a reference, a maid would be unable to gain respectable employment,
@@Orphen42O And these days they're often former or current runaways, victims of sexual or other abuse from their own families. I don't see us having progressed much
What I love about your videos (other than the obvious...calming voice, well-written script, music, photos...ok...everything... I love everything) is the background of the era and places or people in the story. This channel is just like the story of the 3 bears, not too much, not too little...just right. I can't stand it when the narrator begins throwing in their own opinions in the story and overly loud music. Just thrilled with this new find. Thanks for these videos
I can well understand Carrie would have had serious concerns about her future safety and I understand it would have been difficult, but she could have stayed with her sister and tried to find other employment. This is a tragic story all round. I LOVE historical cases, which makes your channel one of the absolute best. Thank you B.C.
@Mary Levin: Me too! Unfortunately women are not good at defending each other. We are too indoctrinated in pleasing males or that amorphous entity, "society" to be able to see how our sisters are endangered by doing that. In this case the word "sister" is literal as well as a figure of speech.
I really do love learning about these obscure cases it's so interesting my Mondays are not right if I don't listen to your upload there briefcase thank you for starting our weeks off right
I have to say how pleasantly surprised I was by this story. As I listened to the details of the year, and this man’s status, I TRULY did not expect to hear that she was supported by the masses and the jury of all men would find her not guilty! What a strong young women to take on a what had to have seemed monumental, particularly in those times. Bravo!
So glad she was found not guilty as she was terrified of becoming a 'fallen woman' and that would mean her ruin. It's melancholy to reflect that 107 years later women still feel unsafe when alone in certain situations. Another thought-provoking case, beautifully presented 👍
Interesting case. I wonder how long she lived with creepy vibes before he ever touched her. She should have stayed away from the house. If he was shot while actually trying to assault her that would be different. I think there was more to her story she didn't tell anyone. Glad it turned out in her favor.
Thanks once again to BC for his punctual uploads with the best stories you could think of, I haven't found yet a video that doesn't leave a print in my mind and believe me, I have a lot of videos to see. Every video is a chance to look at the past through the window your research and stunning research gives us. So far, this year all uploads have been seen, enjoyed and appreciated. I'm so glad that she could (even in this manner) stop the abuse she was at risk. Everytime she asked for help people told her to hush and keep going. All the support she received and with the huge chance to lose her case, justice prevailed to the true victim. PS: Sorry for the holes Mr Massey.
My daddy had a Massey -Furgeson tractor had no idea about the notorious Massey murder ( the tractor still runs today and can handle a serious workload) thank you for your research … love your channel!!
It's nice to hear "NOT GUILTY " for a change. It seems long ago the judicial system in its infancy was almost too harsh at times. Where as in modern times it has become far too lenient ( just my opinion). Hopefully sooner than later it will find a middle ground where there's a better balance between prosecution, defense & punishment, etc so justice can be achieved allowing the end result to set an example of the possible consequences for anyone considering commission of a crime in the future. Awesome video as ALWAYS, BC.💜💜💜
You're so right! That judicial pendulum has swung far too left for there to be any true justice being applied upon the true criminals in our decrepit society of today. I too am happy to hear this dear young lady, Carrie Ann had a lawyer who could articulate her case in a manner that allowed her to be set free. She did what she had to do to protect herself from further harm from someone who saw himself as an untouchable, simply because of his name. Sounds just like some of the elite who have placed themselves in positions of prominence today; whether they have done so by cheating the system or, like this decrepit arse, through their heritage of name and money. The only thing that's any different by today's low standards, is they seem to know we definitely have a 2 tiered justice system, thereby many criminals no longer try to hide their criminal actions, but instead they do their hateful crimes openly, boldly by putting their crimes live on Social Media, and even bragging about what they can and will get away with! Far too many people have become hardened, callous, cold, and even indifferent to their own and others, criminal behavior. It's beyond astonishing to see happening... even though we were warned these days were coming, we couldn't have been any more ill prepared for what we are dealing with. I'm only afraid to think of how much worse our days ahead will be and what we will have to endure.
Just saw Midnight Oil at Massey Hall two weeks ago today! Happy 4th to American fans of Brief Case! Thank you for a home town story Brief Case! Greetings from Cabbagetown Toronto!
Oh, what a nice and thoughtful sister Carrie had! 🙄 Great advice, huh.. though typical of the era. These poor maids back then were often nothing more than insignificant "slaves" for some unscrupulous employers and were expected to do exactly as they were told.. A very sad case of a decent young woman who had her chance of a better life turned upside down by a cruel, arrogant bully. The poor girl was terrified of Massey, and rightfully so! But of course, some tried to say it was *all Carrie's fault!* 😪 I am so glad that justice prevailed in the end! Excellent video, B💼.. many thanks, as always 👍
Exactly. Those poor girls were damned if they did and damned if they didn't. If she told on him, she'd not have been believed and lost her job to not be able to find another. And if she didn't, she'd almost definitely be attacked and ravaged, maybe impregnated. She'd have lost her virtue and become a fallen woman. After watching many of these old cases, I have much admiration and a new respect for the women who lived in those times. So glad this had a good end. As good as was possible back then, anyway.
@@jessicafain6630 Well said, Jessica.. I couldn't agree more! I read one comment saying had they been on the jury they would have found Carrie guilty and she was best to have told Massey's wife and then go back to her sister's place whilst looking for other employment. As you said, who would have believed her? Who would have employed her afterwards? That crazy man might have attacked (or even killed her) for rejecting his advances! She was absolutely *terrified* of him.. Have a great day, Jessica.. 🙋🏻♀️🤗
Excellent presentation as usual. I wonder if this was only about a kiss, she looks so petite I'm sure he could overpower her. Good for her for standing up for herself in such an age. I can't imagine.
Putting the obvious differences aside, this feels a bit like the Lizzie Borden case, where the good respectable girl was believed basically incapable of a crime. This being said, I have a feeling that was not the first time her employer did that and I think that the world is better without him. Moreover, her sister didn't really help with her awful advice.
Sadly the sisters advice was a product of the cultural norms and power structures of the day. Carrie would never have been believed. She was also fed and housed by the family and offered a wage to help support her family in the UK. She was in an awful position.
@@scathatch That is true unfortunately, still I wish her sister just told her to stay with her for few days. I know...maybe it was really not possible but still...
@@justinpino8115Well...she did not have any other motive that we know of and based on how she lived her life afterwards she does not seem like someone who would lie about what her employer did to her. Obviously we will never really know the whole truth but it is not that I believe her by default just because she was a girl, if that is what you mean.
@@justinpino8115 Even poor men had more options than a woman of any status, much less a poor one. I actually am a descendent of such a young girl (she was younger than Carrie) who felt she had no choice but to shoot her tormentor. And her mother treated her terribly for it and sent her away! - No sympathy at all from Mother. - The Sheriff, however, buried the event as an accidental death. Today it would undoubtedly have been self defense or justifiable homicide; although the girl only wanted to stop him from hurting her and protect her parents from his threats (threats made to keep control of the girl) she did know that the gun would kill.
I just Love your stories, you cover the stories so well with intense detailed coverage. I Appreciate your work very much, and the accent is splendid. Thank you ❤
@@BriefCaseOfficial Your narration is so beautiful! Love the way you addressed respect to each story, can feel on your voice. That's why is great to relisten to your videos. Plus ads, of course! My way of help my favs narrators. Thank you Sir
I'm a Canadian history buff and had never heard of this case, thank you for making us aware of it. The Canadian Elites would no doubt like to bury this case and wish it would be forgotten. All the male members of the Massey family were tall, imposing, physically strong men. This young maid never would have stood a chance escaping or fighting off the next assault and I think that prompted her drastic action. Vincent became Govenor General of Canada, the Queen's Representative in Canada, who is politically above our Prime Minister in rank. So that would give you a good idea why it was desirable for this story to fade away and be buried. I enjoy and respect the work you do breathing new life in reviving these old cases and our collective history.
Even though it was premeditated and he was also shot in the back, he started the wheel's rolling to be honest we don't know how many times this dude accosted her and she had to fend him off! She probably had just had enough and even though I don't condone violence! I understand. Glad she wasn't convicted. Another great story, great job keep up the good work.
Another good one, BC, which I wasn’t familiar with either. Unlike some other cases, it is good to know that justice was done for Carrie Ann in this instance. Regrettably the sexual exploitation of domestic servants by household members has been a problem for as long as anyone can remember, so in this case it’s reassuring to hear that the public were largely sympathetic to Carrie Ann. Society was changing!
This was an unusual trial that I was sure wouldn't find Miss Davies innocent because of the all male jury and the name recognition of Massey. I'm so glad I was wrong. Young women back then and even in modern times, are usually believed to have been somewhat responsible in attacks like these because it was concluded that they must have flirted or somehow indicated that the advances were welcomed. I'm sure it really helped to have the public support her as much as they did.
Well that was another blood boiler of history! Before I get pelters, I am Not condoning murder or violence of any sort. This girl was one of the millions which were and who still are used as chattels if not slaves. I can understand why the public were on her side as it could be seen as another example of the working class being used and abused, especially in a time of industrial unrest. My grandmother was all ready for the off to London to Bea maid (from tiny hamlet in UK) when her mother died suddenly so she had to stay at home to raise her five younger siblings, that was just before WW 1. Thank you so much for your work, good wishes to you, all you love and followers Worldwide 🙏🏻❣️🍀🕊️⚖️🏴

@@BriefCaseOfficial It makes me want to go to that cemetery! I live in Niagara Falls Ontario and my grandparents came over in 1913 from England to work on a farm.
Poor woman. For once, it’s so good to know that people can be reasonable and compassionate. She was so fortunate to be able to secure the services of such a great lawyer as well. It could easily have gone very badly for this vulnerable and terrified young woman.
Reminds me a lot about my step great grandmother’s story; she was an Irish immigrant and succeeded in getting a maid’s job for Timothy Eaton in Toronto. During a poker game he lamented about needing to fire her to some drinking companions because she was pregnant out of wedlock. She claimed to have been raped by an uncle but that’s what all loose women say…
My great grandfather was one of those drinking companions. He was widowed with a large farm just northeast of Toronto and had two daughters under the age of 10. So instead of Timothy Eaton firing his maid…my great grandfather married her. He gave her son his name in return for helping him raise his girls and run the farm. Fairly sure the pair never loved each other but they had respect.
Ginger Kid
Most marriages back then were not based on love anyway. But these marriages were based on trust and respect which were much healthier and long lasting, unlike today. My grandmother's and aunts had the same kind of marriages as these
People probably had more realistic expectations of marriage in the past. Marriage can be hard work. Your grandparents realised they were both in a bind. And decided to build a family together. I'm glad they had respect for each other.
I'm American but I believe the Eaton's owned Department Stores in Canada? No?

She loved that era I never understood why people love the Victorian era it wasn't nasty and filthy and run by men I sure wouldn't want to live back then but then again some things I don't want to see like the first car like my first electric light bulb
I feel sorry for this poor woman she didn't deserve anything she got that's horrible so worst time to be alive for women
Quite true!
@@giddyup4232 Hello. It is all right the use of the Simple Present Tense in this case, when referring to past events as if they were happening now. Best wishes!
10:55 I totally agree with the reader who wrote in. What's terribly sad is that in almost a century, women still struggle with this issue. Even sicker is that the wealthy continue to think that they're still entitled to do what and whomever they want! 😠
Kids at prep schools literally refer to us as "peasants"
@@lazyhomebody1356 Not sure about that, I have family members that went to "prep" schools and this has never been an issue. Maybe the schools was not as expensive as the ones you mention though.
@@suzannehaigh4281 I dated a guy whose little sister went to a MA prep school and they seemed nice enough,lol. Went there to see her in plays. But I have heard that multiple times! Not all schools though
Baloney,show us one iota of difference in this case and what goes on every day to women and CHILDREN in any ghetto in this world. For every low down dirty rat of a rich man there are a thousand good decent GOD loving rich men. For clarity I am not ,nor ever been rich and never set foot in any ghetto. I just make it my business to know the world I live in.
Oh, please. What utter crap. There is no proof whatsoever that this woman was anything other than a murderer. Grow up. Not all women are saints, and not all men are monsters. That's just sexists Leftist garbage that you repeat because it strokes your ego to do so.
I'm glad she stood up for herself. He was probably going to reek havoc upon her life or possibly even end her life. I'm proud of her. Honestly.
If he had his way with her he might have forced VD or STD's upon her too?!?!
Agreed!! He probably thought due to his family's wealth & prominence he was exempt from any consequence for his actions. I'm glad she stood her ground & it worked out for her.
@Ben Avery Is a publican a person who owns a pub? What a great word
Lose job either way.
@@lazyhomebody1356 according to google yes
Oh phew! What a champ her lawyer was. Bravo Mr Dewert. As Hercules Poirot would say, "I do not approve of murder." But I really thought that it was going to be Carrie who was murdered. I cannot deny a massive sense of relief that it was the other way round! It had been so common for Masters to abuse young maids, either by outright assault as in this case, or by tricking them into believing that they were in love and would do anything for them. Massey first tried.the latter with the ring and appreciation rubbish. Then the girls ended up thrown out, had their reputation tarnished or ended up dead. And more often than not pregnant. Men like Massey make my skin crawl whenever I come across them in history, and I'm glad this one found out. Carrie admitted her actions from the start and thankfully was believed as to why. This being even more unusual given the man's social and family status. I'm so glad for her that things turned out the way they did. I just can't help it! Brilliant work Brief Case!
Thanks Anna
Sadly, almost all female ancestors I have that used to work as maids, had kids out of wedlock. Only one two of them have I figured out exactly who the father was even though the birth register said it was an "unknown" father. And surprise, surprise...the father was the man in the household where the woman had worked as a maid. Sad story, but oh so common.
I can definitely understand why this one felt the need to do what she did. She had one helluva good lawyer, though.
Today that would be self defense.
I love it that you take the time to find photographs or illustrations to enhance your stories. Great job, good story too!
Glad you like them!
What an engrossing story! What I found most admirable was the fact that so much of the public rallied around her and raised the funds for her defense and such a reputable lawyer. If they hadn’t have done so, she almost certainly would’ve been found guilty if she hadn’t had decent representation in court back then- especially going against an all-male jury. It most definitely helped her case to get people to see her side of the story in a well-thought out manner. It’s tragic that she was even put in this position at all.. and so many other women have been in the same position as she’s been, and she didn’t want to end up a victim. This court case definitely broke down barriers and helped pave the way for women’s rights in the courtroom in Canada.
Loved Carrie's story and her triumph in a time when it was rare for a woman to be considered seriously at all especially if she was below the station of her adversary. I've been listening to your channel for a long time. I look forward to the content, steps of the event during times when technology was not and listening to your voice. Thank you for such interesting cases and elegant, respectful presentations.
Thanks for listening :)
This is one of the best stories….Much respect to this young woman. I’m glad she went on to have a good life with love🦋
A nice ending. I really don't see any other reason than the one she gave as to why she did it. She had absolutely nothing to gain by murdering him, except peace of mind. Thank you, Mr. Case. Your hard work is always appreciated. 😉
My thoughts exactly, Jessica.. 👍
Exactly, she only had things 2 lose like employment, ability 2 help support mom and sisters, place to live, and way 2 support her needs. Makes no sense that this young woman who never had any trouble with police or community/society would just turn into a killer 1 day and decide her employer would be her 1 and only victim. I understand that can happen but I don't think that's the situation here. I believe this woman felt like her honor was in jeopardy and in that time if she was dishonored, by force or not didn't matter, her life would pretty much be over. I say her life in the sense of no marriage proposition's, losing home, no employment opportunities, maybe having to prostitute as last employment resort, shunned by community and pretty much losing her life without actually dying.
How vulnerable were all these people entering a house as domestic servants just to earn a living and better themselves. I'm so happy this wonderful young lady still had a life after such horrendous circumstances!
Brief Case one of the best on TH-cam, perfect voice for narration!!
My great grandmother was born out of wedlock in the late 19th century. She was passed on to another family as a baby and at the age of 15 she was send from her German home town to France to be a servant girl. She was abused as well. There wasn't much you could do against that as a girl at the time. She married an older widower when back in Germany in her late 20s.
This is still happening but here in Asia. Sadly in the middle east where women from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are hired as domestic workers by wealthy Arabs have frequently been assaulted, persecuted and raped. This nonsense still goes on..
She protected herself from losing here virtue and that was when we were a moral society. Now we have open homosexuality on the TV on a daily dasis. Good fit this women she never got in trouble again so apparently she was just saving herself for her husband.
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub And what's the moral problem with homosexuality? There is none. In this day and age there is no moral duty to produce offspring anymore. The world already is overpopulated. What's immoral is to impose your outdated morals on others. Monotheism is a radical worldview incompatible with finding world peace. Luckily your world view is rapidly disappearing. Education for women is overcoming your evil grip on personal freedom. Give yourself a push and accept reality...
Wow...actual justice for a victim of abuse and in a time period when it was rare.
So pleased she was found not guilty! Did she overreact? Maybe, should she have shot him? No. But it was a different time where young girls were taught that nobody would marry a 'fallen woman' so she truly did believe if he had his way her life would be ruined, plus she was obviously terrified! Only 18 and in a different country without her mum, the outcome would have been totally different if her sister had given better advice and support and not just sent her back!
I think her sister gave appalling advice. So sad
This is so true ....in our century she might have been convicted
In a way, it was "My life or yours"
First of all, we don't know the circumstances, or the age of her sister. If she was also young, then she didn't have the advantage of life's experience, or the wisdom that comes with it.
Unable to predict what the future would hold, and a victim of a sheltered Victorian upbringing, and a patriarchal society herself, I can imagine her sister was giving her the advice that seemed best for her at the time.
Who among us hasn't made choices we thought prudent at the time, yet turned out to be at best, undesirable, and at worst, disastrous? It's a tragedy all around, and my guess is that her sister felt awful for how this turned out. As any loving sister would.
Now, if her sister was anything like mine, she would've cared only for herself, and her intent would've been to wreak havoc upon her sibling.
But we don't really know either way, do we?
@@chachadodds5860 I love the way this twists at the end!
This was a most interesting story. Seems there is invariably an older male in the household who feels the staff is there for his sexual amusement and gratification. Burt got his comeuppance, Carrie was very fortunate she had an attorney who was skilled at his craft.
Brief Case I do so enjoy your narrations and visuals as well as the background sounds. Your work shows your talent. It is greatly appreciated, I thank you. Have a fantastic day.

"Invariably..."? Really...?
Two thumbs up Brief Case! Kudos! - from the Philippines
I used to see Massey/Fergusson tractors in the fields of India when I was a child. If only I'd known of the terrible history behind this Company I'd have been a writer much earlier! Thank you for your marvelous report!
Thanks Lloyd
Thank you Mr. Case for another excellent presentation! I was so relieved to find that she was found not guilty. That was more than a hundred years ago. I think the result of the trial would have been exceptional at that time. I am very glad for her. But, here we are 100 years later and seem to be moving backwards in terms of respect for women. As you know, in this country anyway, a female victim of sexual assault is blamed, vilified, attacked. Her sister advised her to go back to work and not say a word. Many women still give that advice. I fear that we are taking too many steps in the wrong direction when it comes to human rights. But please know that I am ecstatic about this young woman's victory! 👍👏❤️
What a terrible position to put Carrie in! She must have been so frightened!
I have no idea where Brief Case finds all of these cases and the additional details to flesh them out. But thank goodness he does and brings them to us in a factual, non-sensationalized way.
Thankyou
The support she got is heartening. I think working in domestic service 100+ years ago must have been the most dangerous job one could have, even more then coal mining. Unbelievable.
For women from poor asian countries like the phillipines this is still the case. I had a philipino neighbour who did some years in service to a wealthy family in Qatar. She was in constant fear from the depravities of the male members of the household. She firmly believed if she had stayed she would have died. They had taken her passport but she was able to get the support to retrieve it and flee the country.
@Nicky L Maybe in terms of vulnerability. If something did happen the woman was in for a bad time.
Another great story well narrated.
Thankfully the verdict was on her favour and she able to live her life happily.
She deserved a fair chance at life after everything she went through and I admire her for her charitable work .
May she rest in perfect peace
I am very glad that she was found not guilty. She had every right to protect herself from her Male employer. Thank you Briefcase for another great story. Keep up the good work.👍😄
Very interesting case. Glad Carrie was found not guilty. She had a lot of support and a good lawyer.
There was a historical fact here regarding the history of Massey manufacturing. Thank you. 👍🏻🙏
As a Canadian, I can say with sadness that nothing has changed here. A women still fears this, rightfully so and now we have a law that states that if the offender is drunk he is not responsible. All of these years later, woman are still at risk.
That's horrible! I bet the drunk excuse wouldn't work for robbery or murder. But a crime against a woman, Assaulter: "I was drunk "--
Judge: "OH, ok"
WHAT? So I see our country is not the only one trying to turn back the hands of time regarding women’s rights. Shameful!
I remember the Massey Ferguson factory, here in Brantford, about an hour west of Toronto. My dad worked there.
Brilliant, the brand is still very strong
I remember driving massey harris ferguson combines...showing my age
My husband's dad as well!
Oh, Breif Case, such a well balanced story you have told again. I find great suspense in your telling of the truth. I am drawn to your channel because you don't use cheap sensationalism to "juice up" the story. You tell riveting details, while giving details of both parties.
Thank you so much!

Thank You, Brief Case, for another EXCELLENT video! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 She lived a better life than if she would have stayed there. I'm sure she went through hell after shooting him,but she was protecting herself! Women get attacked, and still get blamed! Take good care, Brief Case, and everyone! 💚💚💚🤗💐🕷️🕸️🦋🍀💫☀️🪐🌙☄️
Sounds like a happy ending to me. I was recounting to my friend how many times I’ve been touched and harassed even when I asked and eventually demanded for them to stop. It gets to be too much. I totally understand her reaction. Poor thing had dealt with a lot in her young life and she couldn’t even feel safe where she slept. That is psychological stress/trauma. I am glad she had support, that sort of shocked me based on how women were treated back in the day.
A study indicated that one-third of the prostitutes.during Victorian times began as domestic servants who were "ruined" by their male employers and then discarded. Without a reference, a maid would be unable to gain respectable employment,
@@Orphen42O And these days they're often former or current runaways, victims of sexual or other abuse from their own families. I don't see us having progressed much
What I love about your videos (other than the obvious...calming voice, well-written script, music, photos...ok...everything... I love everything) is the background of the era and places or people in the story. This channel is just like the story of the 3 bears, not too much, not too little...just right. I can't stand it when the narrator begins throwing in their own opinions in the story and overly loud music. Just thrilled with this new find. Thanks for these videos
Thankyou so much Dana, I'm so glad you like them!
I can well understand Carrie would have had serious concerns about her future safety and I understand it would have been difficult, but she could have stayed with her sister and tried to find other employment. This is a tragic story all round. I LOVE historical cases, which makes your channel one of the absolute best. Thank you B.C.
Thanks for watching :)
@Mary Levin: Me too! Unfortunately women are not good at defending each other. We are too indoctrinated in pleasing males or that amorphous entity, "society" to be able to see how our sisters are endangered by doing that. In this case the word "sister" is literal as well as a figure of speech.
@Mary Levin Yes, probably thinking of the money she sent home to their mother. What a horrible situation for her to be in...
That was different and it was nice to have a reasonably happy ending for Carrie. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
These sentences help change things
I really do love learning about these obscure cases it's so interesting my Mondays are not right if I don't listen to your upload there briefcase thank you for starting our weeks off right
Thanks for listening
I have to say how pleasantly surprised I was by this story. As I listened to the details of the year, and this man’s status, I TRULY did not expect to hear that she was supported by the masses and the jury of all men would find her not guilty! What a strong young women to take on a what had to have seemed monumental, particularly in those times. Bravo!
So glad she was found not guilty as she was terrified of becoming a 'fallen woman' and that would mean her ruin. It's melancholy to reflect that 107 years later women still feel unsafe when alone in certain situations. Another thought-provoking case, beautifully presented 👍
It's always a great day when brief case uploads thanks 4 all the top notch content 😀😀😀😀
Thankyou :)
At last, a story with a bit (at least) of a happier ending than most! Thanks, BC! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🍻!
Interesting case. I wonder how long she lived with creepy vibes before he ever touched her. She should have stayed away from the house. If he was shot while actually trying to assault her that would be different. I think there was more to her story she didn't tell anyone. Glad it turned out in her favor.
Thanks once again to BC for his punctual uploads with the best stories you could think of, I haven't found yet a video that doesn't leave a print in my mind and believe me, I have a lot of videos to see. Every video is a chance to look at the past through the window your research and stunning research gives us.
So far, this year all uploads have been seen, enjoyed and appreciated.
I'm so glad that she could (even in this manner) stop the abuse she was at risk. Everytime she asked for help people told her to hush and keep going.
All the support she received and with the huge chance to lose her case, justice prevailed to the true victim.
PS: Sorry for the holes Mr Massey.
Thank you for this story! I am so glad people supported her and that she was acquitted!
My daddy had a Massey -Furgeson tractor had no idea about the notorious Massey murder ( the tractor still runs today and can handle a serious workload) thank you for your research … love your channel!!
I love the way this turned out for her!!!
Another brilliant narration of this sad story with a happy ending it's great she was found not guilty. Thanks BC keep these stories coming please
Thankyou
It's nice to hear "NOT GUILTY " for a change. It seems long ago the judicial system in its infancy was almost too harsh at times. Where as in modern times it has become far too lenient ( just my opinion). Hopefully sooner than later it will find a middle ground where there's a better balance between prosecution, defense & punishment, etc so justice can be achieved allowing the end result to set an example of the possible consequences for anyone considering commission of a crime in the future. Awesome video as ALWAYS, BC.💜💜💜
You're so right! That judicial pendulum has swung far too left for there to be any true justice being applied upon the true criminals in our decrepit society of today. I too am happy to hear this dear young lady, Carrie Ann had a lawyer who could articulate her case in a manner that allowed her to be set free. She did what she had to do to protect herself from further harm from someone who saw himself as an untouchable, simply because of his name. Sounds just like some of the elite who have placed themselves in positions of prominence today; whether they have done so by cheating the system or, like this decrepit arse, through their heritage of name and money. The only thing that's any different by today's low standards, is they seem to know we definitely have a 2 tiered justice system, thereby many criminals no longer try to hide their criminal actions, but instead they do their hateful crimes openly, boldly by putting their crimes live on Social Media, and even bragging about what they can and will get away with! Far too many people have become hardened, callous, cold, and even indifferent to their own and others, criminal behavior. It's beyond astonishing to see happening... even though we were warned these days were coming, we couldn't have been any more ill prepared for what we are dealing with. I'm only afraid to think of how much worse our days ahead will be and what we will have to endure.

Another intriguing Monday morning true crime and history lesson. My favorite way to start the week! Thank you Brief Case🖤✌️
Oh, what a nice and thoughtful sister Carrie had! 🙄 Great advice, huh.. though typical of the era. These poor maids back then were often nothing more than insignificant "slaves" for some unscrupulous employers and were expected to do exactly as they were told..
A very sad case of a decent young woman who had her chance of a better life turned upside down by a cruel, arrogant bully. The poor girl was terrified of Massey, and rightfully so!
But of course, some tried to say it was *all Carrie's fault!* 😪 I am so glad that justice prevailed in the end!
Excellent video, B💼.. many thanks, as always 👍
Exactly. Those poor girls were damned if they did and damned if they didn't. If she told on him, she'd not have been believed and lost her job to not be able to find another. And if she didn't, she'd almost definitely be attacked and ravaged, maybe impregnated. She'd have lost her virtue and become a fallen woman. After watching many of these old cases, I have much admiration and a new respect for the women who lived in those times. So glad this had a good end. As good as was possible back then, anyway.
@@jessicafain6630 Well said, Jessica.. I couldn't agree more! I read one comment saying had they been on the jury they would have found Carrie guilty and she was best to have told Massey's wife and then go back to her sister's place whilst looking for other employment.
As you said, who would have believed her? Who would have employed her afterwards?
That crazy man might have attacked (or even killed her) for rejecting his advances! She was absolutely *terrified* of him..
Have a great day, Jessica.. 🙋🏻♀️🤗
I thought that about her sister too! She should at least have advised her not to go back until her mistress returned. Honestly what an idiot 🙄
@@annagettings4675 Too right, Anna.. some sister, huh! A distraught Carrie was clearly seeking help.. and her sister told her to go back! 🙄
Have you read Sister Carrie? I kept thinking about that book while watching the video
Excellent presentation as usual. I wonder if this was only about a kiss, she looks so petite I'm sure he could overpower her. Good for her for standing up for herself in such an age. I can't imagine.
Thankyou Briefcase. I enjoyed this crime from the past

Good morning Brief Case! Back to relisten for third time. Your videos are truly incredible. Thank you
Thank you!
@@BriefCaseOfficial
No mention! I thank you
Putting the obvious differences aside, this feels a bit like the Lizzie Borden case, where the good respectable girl was believed basically incapable of a crime. This being said, I have a feeling that was not the first time her employer did that and I think that the world is better without him. Moreover, her sister didn't really help with her awful advice.
Sadly the sisters advice was a product of the cultural norms and power structures of the day. Carrie would never have been believed. She was also fed and housed by the family and offered a wage to help support her family in the UK. She was in an awful position.
We only have her side of the story, and as usual she got sympathy. Haven’t seen one of these yet where public opinion showed it for a male muderer
@@scathatch That is true unfortunately, still I wish her sister just told her to stay with her for few days. I know...maybe it was really not possible but still...
@@justinpino8115Well...she did not have any other motive that we know of and based on how she lived her life afterwards she does not seem like someone who would lie about what her employer did to her. Obviously we will never really know the whole truth but it is not that I believe her by default just because she was a girl, if that is what you mean.
@@justinpino8115 Even poor men had more options than a woman of any status, much less a poor one.
I actually am a descendent of such a young girl (she was younger than Carrie) who felt she had no choice but to shoot her tormentor. And her mother treated her terribly for it and sent her away! - No sympathy at all from Mother. - The Sheriff, however, buried the event as an accidental death. Today it would undoubtedly have been self defense or justifiable homicide; although the girl only wanted to stop him from hurting her and protect her parents from his threats (threats made to keep control of the girl) she did know that the gun would kill.
I just Love your stories, you cover the stories so well with intense detailed coverage. I Appreciate your work very much, and the accent is splendid. Thank you ❤

Good morning and thankyou :)
Yes, a happy ending, & rightfully so! Congrats Carrie Ann!
I'm a Canadian history buff and had never heard of this case, thank you for making us aware of it. The Canadian Elites would no doubt like to bury this case and wish it would be forgotten. All the male members of the Massey family were tall, imposing, physically strong men. This young maid never would have stood a chance escaping or fighting off the next assault and I think that prompted her drastic action. Vincent became Govenor General of Canada, the Queen's Representative in Canada, who is politically above our Prime Minister in rank. So that would give you a good idea why it was desirable for this story to fade away and be buried. I enjoy and respect the work you do breathing new life in reviving these old cases and our collective history.

Hi Renee :)
Hi Renee!
Thank so much Briefcase for my Monday fix! Superb as always.
Even though it was premeditated and he was also shot in the back, he started the wheel's rolling to be honest we don't know how many times this dude accosted her and she had to fend him off! She probably had just had enough and even though I don't condone violence! I understand. Glad she wasn't convicted. Another great story, great job keep up the good work.
Hello B.C. 🧡 👋🏾 I'm late but I'm here!
Another good one, BC, which I wasn’t familiar with either. Unlike some other cases, it is good to know that justice was done for Carrie Ann in this instance. Regrettably the sexual exploitation of domestic servants by household members has been a problem for as long as anyone can remember, so in this case it’s reassuring to hear that the public were largely sympathetic to Carrie Ann. Society was changing!
Thank you for another great case,
Thanks for watching :)
This was an unusual trial that I was sure wouldn't find Miss Davies innocent because of the all male jury and the name recognition of Massey. I'm so glad I was wrong. Young women back then and even in modern times, are usually believed to have been somewhat responsible in attacks like these because it was concluded that they must have flirted or somehow indicated that the advances were welcomed. I'm sure it really helped to have the public support her as much as they did.
Great advice, Sis!
Well that was another blood boiler of history!
Before I get pelters, I am Not condoning murder or violence of any sort.
This girl was one of the millions which were and who still are used as chattels if not slaves.
I can understand why the public were on her side as it could be seen as another example of the working class being used and abused, especially in a time of industrial unrest.
My grandmother was all ready for the off to London to Bea maid (from tiny hamlet in UK) when her mother died suddenly so she had to stay at home to raise her five younger siblings, that was just before WW 1.
