L'impossible Rendez-Vous : épisode 3

Ok, je crois que c'est l'heure du bilan :

-- j'ai sollicité ce type le 9 décembre ;

=> en général, quand je commence à passer de "gars" à "type" pour qualifier un homme, c'est pas bon signe.

-- Il m'a répondu le 23 décembre (quinze jours après, donc).

On avait tous la tête sous l'eau, je peux comprendre ;

Il a d'autres chats à fouetter, je veux bien croire ;

Il me dit qu'il a "oublié" de répondre à mon mail, ok, c'est vrai, les mecs ont tendance à t'oublier plus facilement quand tu es une femme et que tu dépasses la date de péremption

Et puis c'est pas du tout humiliant. Je vais te montrer mes seins, la prochaine fois, tu me diras en combien de temps tu les oublies.

Dans sa réponse, il me demande quel genre de poursuite d'études j'envisage. Vu le niveau de motivation qu'il me témoigne, depuis le début de l'échange, je subodore une tentative pour se débarrasser de moi sur n'importe quelle bonne poire qui passe l'un ou l'autre des ATER qui nous ont donnés des cours, en début de semestre (voire le SUIO, si très en forme).

Je me confonds en remerciements, d'ailleurs sincères, mais j'esquive sa question en lui rappelant que je tiens à un entretien. Je ne peux décemment pas lui dire que çà fait plus d'un mois que je ne l'ai pas vu et qu'il me manque.

-- Çà, c'était le 28 décembre, et depuis : plus de son, plus d'images...

(l'idée me traverse aujourd'hui que, s'il est aussi intuitif que les natifs de son signe sont réputés l'être, il a peut-être flairé l'ambiguïté de ma demande, malgré toutes mes précautions à dissimuler celle-ci ; d'où ses esquives à répétition...)

The Manhattan Well Mystery

July 06, 2022

Gulielma (Elma) Sands was a woman living in a boardinghouse at 208 Greenwich Street, in December of 1799. The boardinghouse was run by a couple named Catherine and Elias Ring, Catherine being Elma’s cousin. During this time, six other people were living there - including cousin Hope Sands, Margaret Clark, and a man named Levi Weeks, who was a carpenter. 

Levi Weeks was somewhat of a player, it was known that he had shared an interest in both Hope and Margaret, but it was also said that he had been visiting Elma’s room late at night. On December 22, 1799, Elma had told her cousin Hope that she and Levi were planning to get married in secret that very night. 

That evening, Elma planned to go out with Levi, and Mrs. Ring helped her get dressed. Mrs. Ring did not actually witness the pair leaving the house, but later stated that she heard the door shut around 8pm, believing the two had left together. At 10pm, Levi came back to the boardinghouse, and was surprised that Elma was out so late by herself. Levi claimed that he did not leave the boardinghouse with Elma earlier around 8, like Mrs. Ring had thought. 

Because it was December, the entire city was covered in snow. Multiple witnesses claimed to have seen Elma riding a one-horse sleigh with two men the night of December 22. Ezra Weeks, Levi’s brother, owned a one-horse sleigh, and had a horse that resembled the one witnesses claimed to have seen Elma with. 

On January 2, 1800, some boys were playing near the Manhattan Well at the intersection of Greene and Spring Streets. While they were playing they found a ladies muff floating in the well, which was soon identified as having belonged to Elma Sands. 

Eventually, the body of a young woman was pulled out of the well and identified as being Elma. A coroner’s inquest was held and an autopsy was performed, specifically to find out if Elma had been pregnant, though she was not. The jury ruled that Elma had been murdered, and suspicions fell on Levi Weeks. He was then indicted. 

A man named Richard Croucher, who also lived at the boardinghouse, began spreading the story that Levi had killed Elma, claiming that an accomplice from New Jersey had confessed to it. 

At this time, those accused of a crime did not have the right to council, but with a judge’s permission they would be allowed to discuss law with an attorney. Levi Weeks changed this, by showing up to court with three very prominent attorneys in New York City. Levi’s brother, Ezra, who was very wealthy, hired Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and Brockholst Livingston to come to his brother’s defence. 

Aaron Burr was actually the founder of the Manhattan Company that owned the well that Elma’s body was found in, which some believe gave him more motive to come to Levi’s defence.

The Rings who owned the boardinghouse and the other tenants, testified about Elma and Levi’s relationship, and brought to light their plans to get married. One of the men who had pulled Elma’s body out of the well testified that her clothing had been torn and her neck seemed to be broken. 

A dentist who saw Elma’s body after the inquest claimed that there were scratches and bruises on her body, including a ring of bruises around her neck, suggesting she had been strangled. 

The defense argued that Elma Sands had committed suicide, with the physicians who examined the body (who had ruled her death a murder) now changing their minds and believing Elma had jumped into the well. Some of Elma’s acquaintances described her as melancholy, with one person saying Elma had talked about killing herself using laudanum. 

The defense further tried to ruin Elma’s reputation by claiming that she had been sleeping with her cousin’s husband, Elias Ring. Levi Weeks also had a strong alibi for the time Elma was murdered, claiming to be at his brother Ezra’s house which Ezra and others backed his alibi up. 

Back in 1800, it was rare for a criminal trial to last more than one day. The prosecution was not finished after 15 hours and at 1am on April 1, 1800, the jurors requested an adjournment because they were falling asleep. The next day, the case was argued until 2:25 am, where another adjournment was requested by the prosecutor who said he would give his closing statement the next day, though the judge denied this saying there was no need for a closing statement. 

The jury then deliberated for 5 minutes before coming back with a verdict of not guilty. 

Though the verdict was not guilty, the public had bad opinions of Levi Weeks in New York and he was forced to leave the city, first moving to Massachusetts, but the story followed him and he had to flee to Ohio, then Kentucky, and then finally Mississippi where he worked as an architect. 

The presidential election of 1800 between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr resulted in a tie. Alexander Hamilton’s influence actually helped Jefferson get elected, which resulted in more animosity between Hamilton and Burr, as they were already political enemies before Levi Weeks’ trial, despite them working together in his defense. 

On July 11, 1804, Hamilton and Burr fought a duel which resulted in the death of Hamilton. 

In 1861, over 60 years since Elma had been found in the well, it was reported that eerie sights and sounds were heard coming from the Manhattan Well. Witnesses reported hearing shrieks and saw flashes in the sky along with what appeared to be a figure draped in white. 

Many believe that is the ghost of Elma Sands, still haunting the Manhattan Well, perhaps unable to rest knowing that her most likely murder was never solved.

Oh cool, I wanted to see what year it was in case they didn't actually name the Garbo picture, and the film posters confirm mid-1934 at earliest

The Prime English subtitles disappeared for this episode, so I've no idea what the Mandarin audio actually said

I wonder if it's The Painted Veil? It's the right year and it's a Garbo film set in China, so seems appropriate

#she done him wrong is 1933 but it could have taken a while to get to Shanghai or stayed in theaters if successful #it is a great film #miss s #Miss s detective agency #miss fisher's murder mysteries #remake cdrama #she done him wrong #Manhattan melodrama #the painted veil #Greta Garbo #if it is the painted veil that makes this November 1934 or later

The Portland Screenplay Awards, said of “The Wednesday Killer,” “One of the most attractive qualities of the script is the immediate sense of unease the writer introduces in showing [the killer] as a very wealthy, well-liked, and charming man before revealing his homicidal habits.”
