Summary

Well, you asked for it. We got a bunch of emails to do something special for the 100th Monday episode of TImesuck and the main request was to do Timesuck's version of Drunk History. So, the good folks from fantastic restaurant 10/six in Couer d'Alene brought over crawfish etouffee, beignets, whiskey, beer, and mixed up some hurricanes... and I got blackout drunk. I don't start out drunk - it was a steady progression. Started out buzzed for the first sixty minutes or so of the recording and then, well, things get messy. I hope you enjoy it! In 1918 and 1919 (and also in 1910 and 1911), someone or several people terrorized, for the most part, Italian Grocers living in New Orleans with, you guessed it, an axe. Or, rather, with several axes. And razors. And even an iron bar in one incident. Someone was breaking into homes, grabbing the most terrible weapon they could find in the victim's house (usually a meat cleaver/butcher's axe), and giving citizens of New Orleans about the worst wake up call you can imagine. And authorities never figured out who did it. We examine the crimes, we take a fun look into the history of New Orleans, and my wife Lynze steps in and helps me finish the Suck I get to too drunk to complete on my own. I had a great time.

0:00.0	On Thursday, May 28, 1918, 28 year old Andrew Maggio called the New Orleans police department
0:06.2	and screamed at the phone, come a once. My brother and his wife have been killed.
0:10.4	Captain John Dunne of the seventh precinct in several patrolmen headed to the corner of Magnolia
0:14.6	and upper line where they found the usual small grocery in saloon with the residents and back.
0:19.9	Pale and shaken brothers Andrew and Jacob Maggio came out to meet the officers and let them
0:24.2	toward a back bedroom where Captain Dunne came upon the most gruesome crime scene he'd ever encountered.
0:30.0	The proprietors of the little Italian grocery store he'd entered Joseph and Catherine Maggio
0:34.1	appeared to have been hacked with an axe and then Captain Dunne realized that Joseph was still barely
0:39.7	alive. The ambulance from charity hospital had already been called and pulled up at the grocery store
0:44.1	just after the police detailed God on the scene but it was too late. They entered the bedroom only
0:49.5	to watch with Captain Dunne as Joseph Maggio choked out his last breath. His wife had already been
0:54.2	dead for several hours and autopsy revealed both had their throats cut and the Joseph had been hit twice
0:59.7	with an axe. One swing fracturing his skull and then he'd been cut a couple times on his face and
1:05.4	neck. Catherine had actually been hit with the axe but that doesn't mean or she had not been hit
1:10.8	with the axe but that doesn't mean her death was any less gruesome. The police surmised based on
1:14.6	defensive wounds and body location that she got not a bed to defend her husband from his killer.
1:19.0	And then she was slashed seven times on the face on the shoulder on the hand the last probably
1:22.6	received as she attempted to protect herself from the deadly razor slicing her over and over.
1:26.4	The killing stroke had cut deep into the right side of her neck, slicing through the muscles
1:30.5	internal jugular vein and carotid artery and cutting into her airway. A wound like that would have
1:35.6	immediately dropped her to the floor where her gas for breath would have sucked the gushing blood
1:38.8	into her airway. My God drowning her in her own blood as she simultaneously bleeds a death. The
