Manage episode 407115130 series 3557904
Today on Murderhobos, a special episode produced by Tony. We’re headed all the way back to Minneapolis, circa 1900. As the mill capital of the world, Minneapolis was packed to the brim with seasonal workers, thriving brothels, and scheming card sharks. But to Mayor Albert Alonzo Ames, it was just a piggy bank waiting to be smashed open. Over the course of a year and a half, Ames turned the Minneapolis Police Department into the most powerful crime ring the city had ever seen.
