Serial Killers; Herman Mudgett
Enter Herman Mudgett. A
charming swindler and ingenious crook who would stop at nothing to make a
dollar. His greed and cunning made his life nothing but a maze of forgery
and fraud. Countless numbers of victims lost not only their money but their lives
in a morbid killing machine he called his Castle.
In Chicago, he schemed his way
into owning a conjoined row of turreted, three story buildings. The ground
floor was dedicated to shops, the top floor to Mudgett's office and private
apartments. But in between the floors he had built a nightmarish maze of
100 windowless rooms, stairways to nowhere, secret doors, and chutes that led
to a torture room and mortuary in the basement. The Castle opened its doors
as a hotel in time for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Herman Mudgett, now the owner of
a grand hotel, placed newspaper advertisements offering women lucrative work or
advantageous marriage in a large city. Being that he was handsome and
suave, pretty applicants, one after another, responded to the ads. Mudgett
persuaded each of them to bring him all she possessed, as he wooed her into
captivity.
Over a period of three years,
Herman Mudgett has a steady stream of gullible young women taking residence in
the Castle, which proved to harbor a warren of soundproof, escape proof death
chambers. Peepholes were everywhere. Doors were wired to activate a
buzzer if the prisoners opened them. Gas lines in these chambers permitted
Mudgett to asphyxiate an inmate whenever he felt the urge to off them.
Some of the women were taken
below stairs while they were still alive only to be tortured if he felt they
still had riches to be revealed. Once they were dead, he had many ways to
dispose of the body. A metal door in the dirt floor gave access to a large
lime pit. Behind one wall was a furnace hot enough to serve as a
crematorium.
It was not murder, but fraud,
that led to the serial killer's undoing. While he was in custody, part of
the Castle caught fire and burned. Despite some of the charred ruins,
police were able to find evidence of slaughter to a toll of 100 men, women and
children.
Herman Mudgett was tried for
murder and he confessed to 28 killings and an additional six attempted
homicides. He stated that at times he would kill even if money was not
involved. "I committed this and other crimes for the pleasure of
killing my fellow beings to hear their cries for mercy."
Mudgett was hanged on May 7,
1896. At his request, his body was placed in a pine casket, embedded in
cement and buried 10 feet under another two feet of cement. His wishes
were to be safe from grave robbers and medical science.
