“On Trial for Murder: America’s Most Famous Murder Trials: Murder at Madison Square Garden and Their Cause Is Just: The Haywood Trial” CAST Documentary Programs
Murder at Madison Square Garden: Step back to the Gilded Age in New York City, to a night in 1906 at Madison Square Garden, when millionaire Harry Thaw murdered the man who defiled his wife, starlet Evelyn Nesbit, years earlier. What appears to be a clearcut case of cold-blooded murder devolved into a sensational trial over the novel “insanity defense.” Run time: 36 minutes. “Their Cause Is Just”: The Haywood Trial: Your next stop is Western Idaho, where class conflicts between the miners’ union and the government turned deadly when a planted bomb killed former governor Frank Steunenberg. When Pinkerton investigator James McParland extracted a confession from the bomber, the stage was set to put union leader William “Big Bill” Haywood on trial. Run time: 31 minutes. Provided by Great Courses Plus. Hosted by the CAST Senior Center, CAST Educational Programs were developed to reach a wide audience of senior citizens, providing a variety of interesting subjects via in-person presentations and experiences. Scheduled year-round, we host programs at the CAST Senior Center, but also travel to area libraries, museums, places of interest, and other Senior/Community Centers in our area to introduce Seniors to the many program opportunities that are available. Our programs are open to the public, and there are no membership dues. Unless noted, the programs are provided free and no preregistration is required. Carpooling is available for out-of-town trips. Check out our program schedule every month and join us for our next event. We look forward to seeing you!
