all right we are back Taylor after a several week Hiatus um excited

to be here with you recording once again our standard routine on the weekends so

um so you just well not just but like about a week ago you got back from a lovely trip from Japan which I was

following Along on social medias um and it looked really cool so tell us about

it oh my gosh it was amazing we were there for two weeks just me and my

husband and it's just so easy to travel with your phone you know we just had

like the phone on in an international plans we don't have to worry about anything we could like it's really it's

like 16 hours ahead of California so it was

like a like a weird time to like we call our family sometimes and we just would use the phone to like you know you can

geolocate yourself on a map and it'll show you train directions it'll show you walking direction that'll like just give

you everything you need to get anywhere um Juan loves chat GPT so he just chat GPT like how do I say this in Japanese

and people loved it they just like were so delighted when he would like say big phrases in Japanese and um it was super

fun and yeah we just had such a good time he did such a great job planning there was always something to do we went on a couple little like Food Tours and

drink tours and we stayed in Tokyo Kyoto and Hiroshima and it was amazing awesome

highly recommend going or yeah absolutely absolutely um I don't feel

like you were saying I was listening to something that you said I think right before I left that was like people think

Japan is like another world and like I don't feel that way I think maybe that's half because I've lived in big cities

before so I don't feel like weirded out by crowds I went from like Joshua Tree to Tokyo I'd be

like what the [ __ ] is it it's like going to Mars it's like it might as well be a different planet I didn't feel that but

and also just like the language is like there's you can hold Google translate that your phone over things and it will

translate it for you it's really incredible like words I think I think

the way I've heard Japan is different is kind of in the sense of like

it's cleanliness there's more of like an empathy towards others uh I don't know I

mean it wasn't I mean like Tokyo was a big city it wasn't I saw unhoused people

I saw drk people on the streets you know like I didn't see a ton it wasn't like LA but it wasn't zero you know it was

like and you know the I think the trains were a little bit cleaner there's no garbage cans and one of the people that

we met there was saying that it's because like the the Yakuza used to put bombs and garbage cans so like now

there's no public garbage cans which like does keep people from like those like from overflowing but in the morning when you wake up the seven garbage cans

that are in Tokyo are overflowing you know it's not nothing um but everybody

of course is super super nice um if like you go to a a small restaurant or bar or

something and we've been to a couple like really cool cocktail bars there's like a couple people inside of them but when you leave the chef or the bartender

will walk you out and bow it's very very nice um which is cool like the people there were just so so nice um yeah I

mean it wasn't like I'm going to eat off the floor it was like but everybody was you know

speaking of eating what was the food like um so it

was for the most part great they had they we did a lot of like there lot

places that had like an American Frenchy breakfast so we eat like a lot during that time we would have we had a couple

just incredible sushi places like one where was really expensive and we had to like preserve our spot many many months

in advance and it was just like there were maybe like 10 people at like a counter and then the guy would just make the food for you and give it to you and

you kind of eat whatever he gives you and it was amazing um a couple places like there's some like miso flavor that

hung over everything in Kyoto that like was a little much and then also in Kyoto every single place when you get there

they're like here's some baby squid and you're like no thank you yeah I've had that before and I will not do it again

yeah I like the first two I ate and then the next day there's there were more and so I had one and then I was like I can't

I can't eat I don't know what it is it's not that it tastes bad it's that it feels wrong yeah and it just like

doesn't really taste like anything if it's just like a it's just like a baby squid sitting in a bowl and I'm like nah

yeah I'll pass on that one but we took a sushi making class in Tokyo that was super fun

um yeah sweet right well you heard it heard it here from Taylor um 1010 visit

Japan it's well worth it absolutely sweet well let's get into our first part

first half of this week episode can enoy the show yeah Taylor it's been like

three weeks okay give me a break welcome to Doom to fail we're a twice weekly podcast we cover history

true Prime all kinds of fun topics that most at this point we just find interesting and um that's energy we're

bringing to the rest of our show I guess um absolutely perfect because you

know this episode is episode 100 is it really yeah so that was perfect intro

for 100 grade job wow okay wow good for us we're Old-Timers huh good for us [ __ ]

I'm real impressed honestly yeah we stuck with it um so who I don't know

who's going um I'm um I think it's you it's me okay I I'll go first great um

it's 820 p.m. here so I'll go first and then I will pour a drink and be a captive

audience for your episode if you could just coast along there we go far as a

coaster so I'll go ahead and kick mine off so I'm actually doing mine uh a

little bit in honor of a hero who just passed do you know what I'm talking about Taylor is it OJ Simpson there we

go is it really you know you already did OJ Simpson I'm not doing OJ S I said I'm

doing it in honor of OJ s because I'm going to be covering another mysterious situation with a dead wife where the

husband was accused and ultimately I'm not going to say what happened but whatever like it's it's very in line in

OJ Simpson can first say like I know he wasn't going to do a

death bed confession but didn't you kind of want one I think my my opinion is he is just

a horrible horrible human being and and he wouldn't give us the

satisfaction yeah you can't it's like he's a monster you can't expect them to do something good like they don't have

that component of their their souls yeah yeah yeah yeah so uh actually like the

the key difference between the person I'm covering today or or the couple I'm covering today and the OJ Simpson case

is that this in this case we legitimately don't know who did it that's the only difference so there you

have it although I guess in OJ's case we never we don't either because he never was able to found find the I love

there's a murderer out there there's still there's still somebody out there that we need to capture um so okay I'm

gon to break this up into four components one is going to be our main characters the other the second part is

going to be the crime itself the the third is going to be the investigation and trial and the fourth is going to be

the conspiracy theories so our story takes place in Liverpool but we'll go

ahead and kick things off with part one the main characters so we have two main

characters a husband and wife so on the husband side of the equation we have a gentleman named William Herbert Wallace

who was born in 1878 which would make him roughly around 52 years old at the time of this crime

love William Wallace yeah yeah literally like I I exactly my

exact thoughts was was breart um he started working at 14 years old as

what's called a Drapers assistant so he was one of those guys that would like help like people who make manufactured clothes and he would bounce around from

job to job and he had like a tradeit he actually wasn't a total scumbag he was

well known to be like a very nice genial guy very well-dressed um he was kind he

had like aristocratic Hobbies despite the fact that he was nowhere near an aristocrat he liked to play

chess he played the violin he was really into botney and even uh lectured chemistry at Liverpool Technical College

in a spare time in 1913 he met a woman named Julia

Dennis and they got married around sometime in 1914 this is a little bit old in time and it's England so like a

lot of the recordkeeping is going to be a little bit ambiguous which is going to really come into play when I get into

specifically Julia's case so okay by the 1930s he was working full-time as What's

called the collections agent for an insurance company I I took this to mean more than we would consider a

collections person this seems like your neighborhood insurance guy is what this sounded

like uh apparently this time insurance people were like crazy trustworthy so

like you're like seriously like your insurance person like could be your best man at your wedding like this is a kind

of like you weren't just casually hired to be an person again he was kind of like a well quaffed person but not like

a richat it happens in like the maril Lynch commercials youever see those where it's like oh that's our Mar Lynch

guy he's like at the wedding so yeah it's like no people I I don't want to

Chad which is just communicate via chat that's it so especially in this case

because he worked for Prudential which um at that time was called credential Assurance company I need now insurance

company but regardless Assurance to start yeah but regardless like that was kind of like the the cream of the crop

back then and that's where he worked so he was like somebody important kind of uh the wife her name like I mentioned

earlier was uh she was born Julia Dennis later on in the story she'll be referred to as Julia Wallace she was born to an

alcoholic father and became an orphan at the age of 13 pretty rough although I

mean she was like an orphan in the late 1800s in England and I feel like man it's kind of like it could be a little

bit Charming if it wasn't so Bleak I mean I feel like everyone was an

orphan by rough approximation we assumed that at the time that her and William

married she would have been about 53 years old and he would have been around 36 early accounts you read of the story

is that they're the same age but somebody some like forensics investigator or something went way back

into like the historical record and somehow deduced that she was 17 years older than he was so I'm just assuming

it doesn't even matter the age actually literally has no relevance here whatsoever so who cares we'll just go with this so part two the crime this

this is so this is a weird one this this is actually like super interesting I'm surprised there has been a movie about this okay because it all sounds so shady

it all sounds totally impossible but I'll get into it so on January 19th 1931 William attended

a chess club meeting and when he got there he was given a note taken half an hour earlier via phone requesting that

he visit an address in town at 7:30 p.m. the next night which is which would be

the 20th to discuss acquiring insurance by a guy named RM

qual cool name it sounds it's like so like old school um Inspector Gadget the

other guy Sherlock Holmes is that a real name RM clro we're going to figure that out okay

doesn't sound real keep going but not was taken by the chess club Captain a guy named Samuel batty who recounted

that the man on the phone asked if William was there and once he told he wasn't he gave batty the message

including the address the name I'm bringing this up because it was noted that batty recalls asking the guy twice

about the address and then Betty bet batty read it back to him to confirm the address so everything was like wrapped

up tight little thing yeah it was that that's what the guy whoever it was said on the phone exactly the next day it's

Al it's also worth noting that this guy Samuel batty like he's been running this chess club forever and has known um

William forever so is it wait I said phone is it is a phone message or is it like someone came by or no it was a

phone message it was a phone message back then the way it was the way it worked and this is this I didn't write

this to the Allen but this is how it's going to come up later is that you go to a pay phone you pick up the thing you

say I want you to connect me with this establishment they say okay we are now

connected now hit the place your coins in and hit the button a or b or whatever

it is and then you hit it and then they initiate the connection so there's actually a conversation happening at the

phone booth before you even get connected because you're talking to the operator to figure this out right so uh

the next day William uh he leaves home in the morning to start making his rounds doing collections on the

insurance payments that he was owed and his clients will later recall that he seemed totally normal his behavior was

normal his demeanor was all usual during this time um or sorry at

around 3:30 p.m while he was out Amy Wallace who was William's sister-in-law stopped by to visit Julia and spent

about an hour with her the timeline's going to be important so keep up with us so Julie Amy is there from uh 3:30 to

4:30 then she leaves William gets home at around 605

p.m. and he has evening me meal with Julia between 6:30 in 645 a milk boy

delivers milk and saw Julia in person leaving empty milk bottles outside for

him to collect to leave the new milk bottles there and it was at 6:45 that

William uh also left for his appointment that was originally self-reported that

was not the milk boy saying this it was later corroborated because

we'll find out that William had to hop on two trams to to get to this

appointment and he would be noted that he was at that in that location because people actually experienced him there so

police knew that really the 645 timeline is like key of like figuring out like

where William was like he had to have left this house at this time essentially so uh he makes his way to

this part of town again via the tram and he was supposed to go to men love garden

East that's the name of like this area MH there was no men love garden East the

address that was given didn't exist he was dropped off at men Love Garden West

and started looking for the address and couldn't find it obviously he was documented to having spoken to locals as

well as police officers in the area and asked if anybody even KN knew who this

qualtrough guy even was nobody knew what it was and everybody said that this place doesn't actually exist there is no

East part of this section um by this point he was basically late to the meeting anyways

which is also key because was always on time and he ended up talking to a police officer saying hey where can I find a

phone book and he directed him to a post office again this was all noted because a police officer was talking to him and

this guy was checking his watch and the reason he was checking his watch he would later say was because he was concerned that the post office might be

closed it closed at 8 he's like okay at 7:45 I have exactly enough time to get to the post office and see if this guy's

name is in the phone book he gets there no qual trough in the directory there's no Nobody by this name okay at this

point he's like whatever I'm over this he gives up and he catches a tram back home at around 8 it's technically around

like 757 or something but we're just going to round up to 8 around 8:40 he

gets home and tries his keys on the front door they won't open apparently they've been bolted from the inside so

then he goes around to the back tries that door he can't get in he goes to the front again he gets a little bit more

frantic and nobody's answering the door he's DK on the door door is coming through uh he goes again to the actor at

that time his neighbors so Johnson's a married couple encounter him and see that he's kind of frantic and all that

and uh he was mostly frantic because at that time Julie had bronchitis and also

there was like a SP spat of robberies that were going on in the in the neighborhood and so he was kind of like concerned about what might be going on

and eventually he tries to key I don't I have no idea I couldn't figure out this one detail like why the key worked this

one time but it was working before little bit suspect but almost seem like he wanted neighbors to hear him being

frantic I don't totally know what the logic was there but anyways uh the neighbors are outside he finally gets

into the back door he asks them to wait outside while he goes and checks on his wife he goes inside and on the Parlor

floor was Julia with her head completely bashed in with blood splattered all over

the walls like her brains were literally coming out I read a um a report that was written by the police officer saying you

could actually see the brain like it's really bad if it was more recent I'd be

more I'd be less like um chuckling about it but it's it's very gruesome when you read about it so yeah yeah so at that

time William for some reason tells a johnon to go get a doctor and a police

officer and a do a doctor well probably the doctor is probably the coroner right probably actually yeah yeah doctor Gonna

Save her but it's probably the only person who like looks at bodies totally totally so please show up up and upon

cursy examination they realized that his collection box that he' been out earli that morning collecting all the dues has

been [Music] looted so that's part two part three is

the investigation and trial so the police start investigating and by all accounts they kind of mess it up again very similar to OJ like the second the

cops show up and it's like the phonetic energy of a crime scene like this seems

to kind of cause things to go a little bit Haywire let me touch everything and move everything around

yeah lit literally um so there was one cop who was drunk um who ended up

flushing like a toilet which could have cleaned away blood evidence that was there another cop took some of the milk

that was just delivered and started feeding the cat with it which could have

marked prince off or remov Prince that could have shown that maybe it wasn't Julia the guy saw like they just kind of bumbled their way through this crime

scene that's funny um it seems for the most part the reason why it happened the

way that it happened was because the cops had this prevailing Theory which also just happens to be the correct one

which is always the husband like they were like obviously he did it so why are

we even bothering with this like let's just execute him tomorrow like who cares so this is the problem with this logic

though the Milkman saw Julia and William presumably walking around this men love

garden area presumably wasn't completely covered in blood so

this is similar to another case which you have covered Taylor which is the Lizzie bordon situation in the case up

there I was hoping when I said par I was like I bet that like triggered something with you it totally did and and I'm

thinking I was actually I just wikip pedd at it to see if I could see what they look like and their faces aren't on

here but I'm going to keep looking but there is something on Wikipedia that says um he couldn't have done it but

neither could have anyone else which is like problem yeah exactly what happened with Lizzy bordon you're like she

definitely couldn't have done it but no one else could have done it either so who did it we don't know yeah yeah I for that nail I was like this is the exact

same situation was there's nobody else who could have done it but it had to it could have been this guy yeah that's so

yeah but and there in lies kind of the cash 22 situation the police ended up finding themselves and so in the in the

least charitable timeline available William would have had 15 minutes the least charitable meaning that the milk

boy mistook 645 for 6:30 which means somebody saw her alive at 6:30 and then

William had to have left the house by 6:45 to have gotten to the train station which means he would have had at most 15

minutes to brutally kill Julia right stage the robbery clean himself off and

then cat the tram that's it so it's also worth noting that William suffered from kidney disease he

actually only had one kidney which also made him sickly so what police found was when they tried to recreate this within

a 15-minute window of time it technically is doable but it was not done by like a 50 plus year old guy with

one kidney you know working all day like right if you were like a young healthy

person you could like run and do it but he wasn't running anywhere yeah yeah and to add to that police could find no

evidence of blood in the sinks because assume they'd assume that William must have cleaned himself off um and maybe

like you know where's all the blood if he'd done this right is there blood like

I don't know like with Lizzy bordon too like there's no blood like leaving yeah you know like there's no handles yeah

yeah uh one part of Julia's murder that Pro the

prosecution and police used to kind of explain this away was that Julia was found laying on top of William's

raincoat so it was the raincoat he was wearing earlier that day while doing his rounds and obviously he took it off when

he came home police and prosecutors um presumably anxious to kind of pin the crime on William said that the reason

the timing isn't that suspect is that William must have been wearing the raincoat when he murdered Julia and then

laid that at the crime scene there seems like a little stretchy

that seems hard because then you have to like what do you do like roll her onto it or like can you lay here please yeah

yeah so they also said that they presumed that he as this qualtrough guy

himself calling the chess club to give himself kind of this Alibi and and to be somewhere else the only wrinkle on that

like I mentioned is that Samuel batty the guy who answered the chess club Captain he'd known William for years and he said that it was impossible for the

voice of qual trro to have been that of William and you know that when you know somebody that well you can pick up their

voice like immediately I me at least I can I think was it weird for that to even be a thing or where people know

like oh I can I know I can find the insurance guy at the chess club we're gonna get to that when we get to

our conspiracy theories my God you're good at this Taylor you would yeah you would have burned through like the old

Hardy Boy books like pretty fast I would imagine I've read I've read several of the Nancy Drews so yes or Nancy Drews

yeah I was I was actually going to go with um Scooby-Doo you probably like saw the the guy it was the cousin from the

other town over saw like in my head yeah yeah so the other part of the their the

prosecution that the uh police's theory was that uh what was probably used to beat her to death was an iron bar and

then the murderer took the iron bar with him presumably in this case William hopped on the train and then hit it somewhere nobody ever found this iron

bar nobody actually found the murder weapon ever so on April 22nd 1931 William goes

on trial and he was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to death which was

the mandatory sentence it isn't explicitly stated but it is pretty

implied that the judge overseeing his case was like this is totally wrong like

this guy obviously couldn't be found guilty Beyond A Reasonable Doubt um one

article I read about this was that in a very rare case in these situations the judge didn't thank the jury it was like

okay fine mandatory sentence death sentence like that he had no choice he had no discretionary function

here also in a very unusual term of events literally the first time this has

ever happened in a capital Criminal case in UK history one month after this

conviction and he sentenced to prison and to death the pellet Court above the court

that was um trying him threw his conviction out basically saying like there's no chance you could a it's all

circumstantial but there's varying degrees of how convincing circumstantial evidence is and this isn't that

convincing so they threw it out less than two years after being released from prison he ended up just dying of

complications caused by kidney disease and was buried next to his wife it was said that there was treatment for his

disorder that he got from his kidney disease and he refused treatment because like his life was ruined everybody thought like he did it and he got away

with OJ problem right like it just turned into that hole

Fiasco so there are theories on who did it so there was one guy named Joseph

Caleb Marsden uh he was found stealing from the insurance company William was a

supervisor and he ended up firing him um there was some assumption that he might

have done this because when fce started looking up guys named wal they found one

who was a client of Marsen and he really didn't have a good Albi his Albi was he was at home with the flu when all this

went down they like qualtrough you have no alibi why wasn't he in the phone book

oh oh he wasn't it was different cities it was different parts of the Town yeah okay um and so so that was one person

the more convincing person that most true Prime authors now seem to say is

like clearly the guy who did it is this guy named Richard Gordon Perry so his

Alibi was that he was with his fiance when all this happened they would later break up and she would come forth and

say no he wasn't he told me to tell you that I we weren't together that night on in addition to that he was also caught

stealing and it was basically like implied that he should resign on his own he was also being managed by William who

was the one who caught him stealing he also happed to have been in their home before having met Julia and knew where

the collection box was held because he'd been out doing the rounds with uh William before in the past he also knew

what days the box would be the most full given like when he was going to be out doing his collections and it would have

been this night that Julie ended up being murdered m the other thing that's interesting is that a garage mechanic

which I guess is where back in the day you would go to clean out cars he noticed that Perry had showed up at the

garage and use a high pressure hose to clean off the garage it was said and kind of strongly implied that he also

had a bloody glove again Barry OJ Simpson but I I I didn't F find any like

clear evidence of that so I'm just going to say that's a rumor but it is interesting because in the 1960s he

ended up moving to Wales moving far outside of town and he changed his name like presumably for no obvious reason

did he ever like act like he had a lot of money or like buy something fancy yeah so he did so he had his father was

actually relatively well off and so he again he worked for an insurance company so he's like a well qua kind of gentleman type um but it was also said

that he spent super lavishly it was assumed that he probably blew through the money he made and the money that his parents gave him and that could have

been a justification of why he did this got it so but would have been weird that he had a lot of money because his parents gave him money

anyway exactly yeah exactly so um so

yeah that he ended up dying in 1981 I believe and so technically the murder of

Julia Williams is UN undiscovered we don't know we have no idea who did it um

all we have is several theories which is again very Lizzy Boron me can you bring back deathbed confessions come on come

on guyses yeah tell me who you murdered on your death bed because we don't get

many of those anymore and I want to hear some I would love to hear some I I this

guy I feel pretty bad for because it sounds like he was actually a pretty standup person and it doesn't sound like he deserve

what he got and by all accounts it doesn't sound what's interesting is that they did several mock trials the

prosecution and the defense would do several mock trials and well there was two of them so

there's one real trial two mock trials both of them acquitted him of the murder it was only the real tree that actually

found him guilty um so yeah youall himself yeah well okay what what about

it being weird people called the chess club did we talk about that ah that was the other thing so the other sorry I

didn't bring that up thanks for calling that out so the other thing is that this guy Perry was in a drama club that also

met at the same Cafe that a chess club met in and so he what they have is this

board that shows the matchups that are upcoming that week and so any anybody

who's in the drama club would have been in there and been like okay so this is when this guy's going to be here and

actually this is who he's playing so that is suspicious to me yeah

yeah who do you think they do it's got to be this Perry guy I can't finding

argument that it's anybody else that was one of the other reasons why the app actually threw it out was

because police were so eager to pin this on William in the husband Trope that he

did it that things like this mechanic seeing Perry that night were suppressed so

there wasn't any counterarguments being presented saying that it could have been anybody else was like it's just this guy

it has to be this guy oh it looks like though that John

Parks the guy who said that Perry had come to his garage and washed his car

told people that a year before he died so that is semi- deathbed confession he told people that

he saw him doing this but per that's not that's not his death bed confession he didn't do anything wrong he's the garage

guy no I know but his death confession was like his almost death bed confession was like this

happened it's true you got me on that one you got me on a technicality when you're out from his death

he's only 21 Gordon Barry it kind of overlaps too because I read that Agatha

Chrissy also like she didn't write about it but she would reference this murder in one of her books I bet she

did so it it's very fun old true Prime old

England true primy um yeah

so yeah it's interesting like I love well like the pictures of it are the

same as Lizzie Borden's house you know it's like a cool old timey house is it cool or kind of dark and

scary it's both that I for me dark and scary is cool so it's both it's fair

that's why you would do great in a haunted house me I would love love a haunted house um so yeah that's my story

for this week a little bit of a short one but I wanted to go back to the True Crime side of things I was desperately

looking for something obscure that is like interesting obscure and not covered to death and I stumbled on this one

thank you chat gbt cuz I literally asked it like what is some weird mysterious unsolved deaths that people don't talk about was like look up this one so yeah

yeah but yeah wait so explain to me again so the room was locked like from

the inside in a weird way or like it was just the door was just locked I couldn't get an answer to why it

was such a story for him to like get into the house

it was presumably that she had dead bolted the doors from the inside with no

accessible key on the outside but I don't get how he got in the second time he tried the back door

like that's the part of it that is like a little bit suspicious to me is like were you trying to make a show of it so

that people would know you weren't in the house then right like that it was like extra locked yeah yeah

yeah yeah I don't know cuz even like at lizie Borden's house they would like lock every door you know like the

weirdest way they they did this too because like I said like at this time there was a bunch of robberies happening

like home invasions happening and so people were scared people were nervous that was part of the reason why he said

he decided to just give up on this qual trough guy and leave that part of town was because he was like yeah it was

worried like it's getting dark I'm nervous I could get mugged I'm nervous my wife might get mugged I need to get

out of here I out of Dodge before it gets any darker so yeah but totally but but but that that

piece of it is like interesting because I can't fully understand like what was going on with the locks that made it

such a predicament the first three times he tried and then why is he making such

a if there's nothing wrong with the locks and he's making a huge scene

then he might be guilty like I I don't know I don't know

and the phone call was made from a telephone booth 400 yards away from his

house that's pretty far in a city yeah I didn't I read that too it's

really it's cool looking photo did you see it I did see that yeah it looks fun um but but again like I

mean this is the 1930s like people aren't reliably traveling 20 miles to do

stories like that Taylor when I asked chadu BT to spit out some stories some of the things were so like blood

curdling I was like I was like I don't I don't want to go down this you know it remind me of the tote murder where I was
