56: Murder on the Great Plains: The Sheedy Murder & the 1891 Zodiac Back

from You Ain't a'Woofin · host Amy Jo McCarville and Valerie Alonzo

On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of the unsolved Gilded Age murder of Mr. John Sheedy, a real estate developer, gaming establishment owner, and all around “sporting” man. We discuss several possible instigators and consider the motivation for the attack, in yet another caning story that also includes adultery, scandal, racism, and greed on the Great Plains! Next, Amy Jo’s 1891 Zodiac Back starts us off with a fable and the roots of fascism, we delve into the February astrology and our sign of the week, Scorpio! We discuss the decline of democracy, talk Pluto Neptune Cycles and their zodiacal dance with Uranus, 1891 comets, and the adventurous life of James Lick and the Lick Observatory.
