Rose Butler was a teenager performing domestic services for the Morris family of Manhattan when early one morning a small fire broke out. Though no one was injured, and the fire was quickly extinguished, the family accused Rose of intentionally setting it.

Let's talk about what really brought Rose to the gallows. Executive Producers: Maria Trimarchi and Holly Frey Producer & Editor: Casby BiasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
