Episode 211: On January 27, 1896, in the tiny community of Bear River, Nova Scotia, popular fourteen-year-old Annie Kempton was brutally murdered in her home while her parents were out of town. The crime, papers said, was the worst ever seen in the province up to that point and there was an outcry for swift justice on the heels of the slaying. Two days after the crime, Peter David Wheeler, 26, an immigrant, was arrested and charged with the murder. In July of that year, Wheeler was found guilty of the crime and after his trial, made a confession that some have come to see as coerced. He was hanged less than 8 months after the murder in the middle of the night as a crowd was allegedly on their way from Bear River to lynch him.Sources:Nova Scotia Archives - Admiral Digby MuseumPlace-names of the Province of Nova Scotia : Brown, Thomas J : Internet ArchiveIn search of justice for Peter and Annie | The Chronicle HeraldBear River Historical Society | Nova Scotia, CanadaPeter Wheeler, Murder of Annie… - Admiral Digby Museum | FacebookJustice Denied - Atlantic BooksStories of our Local CharactersThe Lynching of Peter Wheeler by Debra Komar - Ebook | ScribdMaritime Murder: Deadly Crimes from the Buried Past eBook : Vernon, Steve: Amazon.ca: Kindle StoreGraveyard Tour | Fall For Bear RiverAnnie Kempton (1881-1896) - Find a Grave MemorialFolksongs from Southern New Brunswick : Creighton, Helen, 1899- : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveBear River tragedy retold in ‘Annie Kempton’ | SaltWireSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine Learn more about your ad choices.
