    The Manhattan Well Mystery (Crimes of Old New York)

    On January 2, 1800, a group of New Yorkers discovered the body of a missing local in the disused Manhattan Well. The Manhattan Well Murder, as the crime came to be known, led to a sensational trial, in which two of America’s Founding Fathers participated. Given the intense public interest in the homicide, publishers raced to print the first—and fullest—account of the proceedings, spawning a new genre of crime writing.

    The Adventure of the Libelous Painter (Crimes of Old New York)

    In 1817, Italian-born painter Francesco Mezzara had a spat with his patron, New York attorney Aaron Palmer. As the feud escalated, Mezzara painted an insulting picture of Palmer and put it up for auction. Mezzara was giddy when the picture fetched $40—but not for long. Soon, he stood accused of criminal libel on account of the offensive portrait.   If you'd like to support the show, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/artofcrimepodcast.    Show notes and full transcripts available at www.artofcrimepodcast.com.
