from This Day in New Haven History Hosted by Tom Breen

Welcome to This Day In Crime Spree History as your host Allan Appel and regular co-pilot Jason Bischoff Wurstle of the New Haven Museum time-travel back to a shaken Elm City when a string of robberies of Yale students followed soon on by several murders of what one letter writer called "impressive and horrible ferocity" ignited an early debate about the deterrent power of public hanging, which is what they called capital punishment in 1849.
