About this episode
The End Of Gordon Fawcett Hamby
Episode 277 is a fascinating portrait of a cold-blooded psychopath and sociopath, an erudite Canadian seaman who allegedly traveled the world committing the most dastardly robberies. But when he goes too far and murders a friend, his conscience finally gets to him and his eight year career comes to a crashing halt and the light of day.
Culled from the historic pages of the New York Herald and other newspapers of the era.
