00:01.
00:04The trial of William Kerwin for the murder of Maria was a sensation.
00:09The savages were the kind of savages.
00:13It was a good time.
00:15And it was a good time.
00:18It was a good time for Maria Kerwin to finish you.
00:24There are stories of screams coming from the island.
00:26Local folklore and myself believe that William Kerwin pushed Maria to our death just off this cliff here.
00:32Not guilty.
00:56The time of this event was brought over in 1995...
00:58...but the time was on the cross at the bottom of the sea...
01:02...to Tindy's car to the island.
01:06On the very end of the island, the island of the island...
01:10...was being drawn to Pindy's land...
01:11...for the island of the island until the island was a big...
01:14...for the family of the island...
01:17...and this time being taken on the island...
01:21...feel of her heart...
01:22..and I'll see you next time.
01:30But the two of us will be able to do it...
01:33..and we'll see you next time...
01:35..and we'll see you next time.
01:47We'll see you next time.
01:49and the woman who was married to Maryann.
01:52Now, this is the case for the girl who was married.
01:55It's not that William was married to Maryann
01:58who was married to the last two years
02:00in the last two years in Cairns.
02:09The woman who was married to Maryann was married to Maryann.
02:12She was married to Maryann.
02:15..and it was a piece of stuff that was done.
02:19Marie Carwin was in a Catholic...
02:22..but at a time when she was in a post...
02:25..it was a good day.
02:27I didn't know anything about her.
02:29I didn't know what she was doing.
02:31Victorian middle-class Dublin was rocked by this.
02:34Carwin's profession would have seen him rub shoulders with doctors and lawyers.
02:39So indeed that it was the middle class...
02:41was part of the shocking element of this right from the start.
02:47It was the first time William Burke-Carwin to play.
02:51He was a player in the game
02:53and he was a player in the game of the game in the game.
02:57But then, he was a player of the game
03:00in the game of the game in the game.
03:03There was a player in the game
03:05that was a player in the game of the game in the game.
03:08and I hope you enjoy tomorrow.
03:18The first time we've been in 18IS,
03:21I've been in 18IS.
03:23I've never had a chance to get back to work.
03:25I've never had a chance to get back to work.
03:29And I've had a chance to get back to work
03:32and then get back to work and get back to work.
03:35And that's what I'm happy about.
03:38It was the day to the day with Margaret Campbell...
03:42...at the day of the day.
03:43How are you?
03:45Will you bring the luggage around?
03:46Quite quickly they have two different experiences there from the start.
03:49She goes swimming, takes long walks,
03:52endears herself to the people of the locality easily and quickly.
03:55He is kind of only half there.
03:58It's noted that he would leave for a couple of days at a time.
04:00On the face of it, it was to go to work in the city
04:02and he had business elsewhere.
04:04He was able to do it in the same way.
04:06He was able to do it in the same way.
04:09When William was the first time to do it in his own work,
04:13he was able to do it in his own work.
04:18And it was also the only time to do it in the same way.
04:22But he would be able to do it in his own work.
04:34He is the only way to do it in his own work.
04:39He was able to do it in his own work.
04:41He was a little bit older than his dad.
04:44It was an early childhood that he was in the middle of the year.
04:48He was still in the middle of the year.
04:50He would have to give up a chance to get his son and his son.
04:55He would have to get a picnic.
04:58He would have to get to the table and have to get the picnic.
05:02His son was a son.
05:06He had a sketch and a paint.
05:11And he says that the Nangle is around the corner at 8 a.m.
05:15If he sees him as he sees him.
05:18He's at the landing place on his own.
05:21Mick Nangle asks him where is the mistress?
05:24He proceeds to say they got separated after his shower.
05:26Time puts that shower at about half six.
05:29We're talking 8pm this is now.
05:32It's been quite some time since he's seen his wife.
05:34This starts a search.
05:37Himself Mick and Pat Nangle.
05:40They look through the island, the sun's going down.
05:43It's getting more difficult.
05:45Maria!
05:49Maria!
05:50Ultimately, they find the body of Maria Kirwan...
05:54...in a place called the Long Hole.
05:55Oh, my God.
05:56And it was very warm.
05:59It was very warm.
06:01And it was very warm.
06:06It was very warm and very warm.
06:10It was very warm.
06:15They bring Maria's body back to Hoth.
06:17They call upon a man called John Barrett...
06:20...to use his cart and his horse.
06:23They take her body back to Margaret Campbell's...
06:26...where they took lodgings.
06:27And it was...
06:29...William was the only one who was in the house.
06:34One is a nurse tender called Anne Lacey.
06:36She's kind of controlling the room.
06:38There's a Mary Robinson and there's a Catherine Magar.
06:41So there's quite an important part of the evidence here where...
06:44...apparently when Catherine Magar goes to wash the body...
06:47...she hesitates and she says, we think we should wait for the police.
06:49And there's a lot of people in the office.
06:51I'm going to ask them to come.
06:53I'm going to see her.
06:54I'm going to see him there.
06:56You're not.
06:56But I'm going to be back with her.
06:59The next day the inquest is held and Joseph Sherwood, the sergeant,
07:04summons Henry Davis, a coroner.
07:07They gather their jurors and they get a hold of a medical man
07:11who was a medical student named James Hamilton to perform an exam.
07:17He examines the outside of the body. At this point it's been washed.
07:20The only blood to speak of is an amount on her cap,
07:23which is about the size of a coin.
07:25The other half-fired man was the one who was the one who the other one was.
07:31It's a big deal with respect for her.
07:35It's a big deal.
07:37But I think that it's a big deal with the other people in the school.
07:48He has a deal with the police and a conspiracy.
07:53I had a lot of work in my life.
07:56I had an English language, Patrick and Michael...
07:59...and I had a lot of work in my life...
08:02...and I had to do it.
08:05I had to do it. I had to do it.
08:08I had to do it with my son.
08:11I had to do it.
08:14I had to do it.
08:16I had to do it.
08:20I had to do it.
08:23But in the past, there was a huge amount of money...
08:26...and a lot of money in the school.
08:29It was a long time ago, it was a long time ago.
08:32There's stories of screams coming from the island on the night Maria died.
08:39There's stories about her ghost haunting the town.
08:42And in between them there's some accounts of pretty cruel behaviour on William's part
08:47towards Maria in the days and weeks before she died.
08:51There was a story about Maria O'Leary in Godrave and there was a story where Mrs. Campbell
08:56was going to be in the B&B and she was going to be in the trade.
09:01She was going to be in the house.
09:03Maria O'Leary were coming to be in the last night and she was going to be in the trade with her black and blue.
09:08So it was a very sad day to see where her husband was.
09:12Finally, there was a story of her husband,
09:17and she felt like she was able to give her a shot after her.
09:31..but it's really likely it was a Merian Street neighbour of the Kirwans called Maria Byrne.
09:37And basically, what she alleged was that he had tried to poison her...
09:42..and that he was living a double life.
09:44Two families in Dublin, kilometres apart.
09:48It was so many, many years ago...
09:51..and it was a great time when he was living a double life.
09:56It was a great time when he was living a double life.
09:59All of this leads ultimately to a doctor named George Hatchell...
10:03..exhuming Maria's body and performing a post-mortem.
10:07This is a month after she died.
10:09And they did that at Glasnevin on the 6th of October.
10:12When I was young, I was young and I was young and I was young...
10:15..and I was young and I was young and I was young and I was young...
10:18..and I was young and I was young and I was young and I was young and I was young.
10:24It was clear that Maria had asphyxiated...
10:27..whether by accidental drowning or whether that was at the hand of somebody else.
10:32After Hatchell performs that post-mortem on Maria's body...
10:35..things move quite quickly.
10:37When Pauline was arrested at the time...
10:39..when the school was arrested by William Kirwan Hainig...
10:44..he was arrested at his Merian Street home.
10:49..and that's where authorities discover...
10:52..Theresa Kenney with children.
10:54There was a test of the pot...
10:56..and he was a man who was arrested at the time...
10:59..and he was arrested at the time.
11:00He was arrested at the time of the time.
11:03More statements are taken from the key players...
11:05..and he's sent forward for trial.
11:07The court's list was taken from the school...
11:10..and he was arrested at the time of the school.
11:14..and he was arrested at the time of the school.
11:17He was arrested at the time of the school.
11:19The trial of William Kirwan for the murder of Maria was a sensation.
11:22The trial of William Kirwan for the murder of Maria was a sensation.
11:24The trial of William Kirwan for the murder of Maria was a sensation.
11:29The trial of William Kirwan for the murder of Maria was a sensation.
11:35The trial of William Kirwan was a sensation.
11:36All of the reports start with the throngs trying to get into the Green Street Courthouse...
11:40..lines around the corner.
11:43He was arrested in the moment
11:44and he was refreshed and he was the man with savages.
11:50That's right, Aaron.
11:52If I was a young man, I'd like to thank him.
11:55I'd like to thank him for being here.
11:58And I'd like to thank him for the support of his family.
12:09He was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was.
12:18.. but he's been in a long time for a long time to get to the city of California...
12:24..and tell you it about Maria Kerwin and Ellen Son to and Theresa Kennedy.
12:28He's been very interested in the fact that she was a little bit...
12:31..and he's got Mama and not all of a sudden...
12:34..and she's been receiving to the city of California and Theresa.
12:41I have seen those over a million years on the left by the side of it...
12:46and to the family,
12:48and to the family,
12:50and to the family,
12:52and to the family,
12:54and to the family,
12:56to the family,
12:58and to the family.
13:07Maria Corwin was a very good friend
13:10in the New England language.
13:12I was not a good friend,
13:14..and he was still alive.
13:17But I remember that she was still alive...
13:20..because she was still alive.
13:24And she was still alive...
13:26..and she was still alive when she was still alive.
13:44..to err more on the side that various signs of congestion...
13:49..would have meant that there was some kind of constriction or pressure applied.
13:52He used words like this without being too specific.
13:55And it was just enough to inject an element of potential intervention by someone else...
14:01..to have caused the death.
14:04In the case of the first time of the war,
14:08it was about 5 years old when the war was in the court.
14:13It was about to put a mask on.
14:18When the war was in the war, it would have been a great deal.
14:22And it would have been a great deal.
14:25It would have been a great deal.
14:31Mark Doyle was a young man in the 19th century...
14:34..and his boss, Maria, looked at the school...
14:37when the school was on the other side of the school,
14:39he was on the other side with his father-in-law.
14:43He was on the other side of the school.
15:07from the island they were on the mainland do you think that's plausible that you that you would
15:12have heard screams back in 1852 i'd say it's very plausible um the sound can travel very far and on
15:19a calm night you'll definitely hear um noises and sounds from the island an example of this would
15:25have been a number of years ago we did a barbecue late one night on the island and my father was
15:30alive at the time and he was on the pier at the lighthouse keeping an eye on things and he heard
15:35my brother shouting at me to haul up the anchor i wasn't hauling it up quick enough for my brother
15:40so my brother was shouting haul up the anchor and my father could hear it plain as day so if you can
15:45hear a conversation i imagine you'd hear screams and no problem at all like
15:53but isaac butta be more of coida and then chossent in san chossora
15:58and now it's not even though it's not even though it's not even though it's a home rule
16:01but after that I don't know if i was a little bit
16:27Maria Kirwan, I was the first one.
16:31I didn't want to win the court.
16:33The court had the same one.
16:36I didn't want to lose any one.
16:41I didn't want to win the court.
16:46I didn't want to win the court.
16:50I didn't want to win the court.
16:57No more, she was the only one in the field.
17:00But no doubt that she was the only one in the field.
17:16I was the only one in this school, and it was Theresa Kenny.
17:20And she was the only one with William Corwin.
17:23She was the only one with her.
17:26It was a great thing to say that William Corwin was a great fan of the story,
17:31but it was a great thing when he was a kid and he was a kid,
17:38and when he was a kid and he was a kid and he was a kid,
17:42and he was a kid and he was a kid, and he was a kid.
17:46But I don't doubt him that the only thing was that he was a kid.
17:51The trial is a pretty intense affair.
17:54You have 20-odd witnesses, an incredible amount of detail,
17:57and they manage to get through it in two days
17:59and arrive at a verdict.
18:01Gentlemen of the jury,
18:02you say that William Bercowen is guilty of murder as charged,
18:05and is that the verdict of you all?
18:06It is.
18:07William Cairwen is convicted,
18:09and he's sentenced to hang.
18:15The case is clear.
18:17It's not the case.
18:19It's not the case.
18:21It's not the case.
18:23William's supporters were well-funded,
18:25well-organized.
18:27One solicitor, John Knight Boswell,
18:29he went about collecting statements
18:31from people who were key players
18:33in this case and in the story,
18:35and a lot of those statements
18:36would have contradicted things
18:37that were commonly assumed and known about William
18:40and his relationship with Maria
18:42and his secret relationship with Theresa.
18:45One of the key things, let's say, for the prosecution
18:47was that these women had only recently found out about each other.
18:50But there were statements collected by Boswell
18:52that indicated, in fact,
18:54these women had known about each other
18:56and for quite some time.
18:57The first time,
18:58they were written by the pamphlet
19:00of the last one's and last one's
19:01words,
19:02and the last one's and last one's
19:04book,
19:06and the last one's and last one's
19:07book was that,
19:09the title was,
19:10of William Burke Kirwan, condemned for the alleged murder of his wife, and now a convict of Spike
19:17Island, to which, amongst other documents, is appended the opinion of Alfred S. Taylor,
19:24the most eminent medico-legal writer in the empire, that no murder was committed.
19:31Ultimately, Kirwan's sentence was commuted, which caused a bit of a stir on every side of
19:38the debate, let's say. People rightly asked, well, you know, if you've decided that the evidence wasn't good enough, why is he still in prison at all?
19:48With William Kirwan, 66 years old, with Cailhvainen, Inish Piak and Bermuda,
19:54and with some great support from him when he becomes a judge of his life,
19:59he was not very happy to have his own policy.
20:08So, Sinead, I'm bringing you to the spot where local folklore and myself believe that William
20:17Kirwan pushed Maria to her death, just off this cliff here.
20:21According to the autopsy report, I wouldn't say the marks on her body were consistent
20:25with the fall like that.
20:27There's no other way she could have ended up there.
20:29The tide wouldn't have brought her in there.
20:31The tide was going out that day, so she had to end up being pushed or falling onto the
20:36rock.
20:36There's no other way the body could have got there.
20:38It's just a few days ago I've got to know.
20:40There was a lot of times when I was going out of the book.
20:43I think there was a lot of times when I was going out of the day, so I could never know
20:49how to go in the car.
20:50The next time I was going out of the day, I'm going out of the day.
20:55William Kirwan was also on the track of Teresa Kenney and she was on the track of her.
21:01But, when he was in the track of William Kirwan's prison, he wasn't on the track of Teresa.
21:05and not just the words that he's happy to have you...
21:08and the words they have are putts on drugs...
21:11and a lot of them are not the ones that the ones you post...
21:14and they're not a little afraid to do...
21:17and it's not quite a bit difficult to get around...
21:20and this is a big deal because...
21:22the way that a talking friend was hungry...
21:25and he's never seen a lot of people...
21:27and I think that there's nothing wrong with him.
21:30And I think that this is a good situation.
21:34It's been a long time for a year.
21:36Again, there's a lot of things in the field...
21:39like this one at the beginning...
21:41like this one, and this one has been...
21:44a lot of things.
21:46There's no time to be able to study...
21:49there's no time to study it...
21:51there's no time to study it.
21:53It's a great time to study it.
21:56It's so much fun to study it.
22:05I didn't set out to make a case for anybody or anything.
22:08I thought it was one way.
22:10I thought that William Burke Kerwin murdered Maria Kerwin in 1852.
22:14And ultimately, as a criminal case,
22:17it's a mind-boggling just series of contradictions,
22:24both fascinating and kind of hard to believe,
22:27that ultimately leaves you wanting an answer, wanting closure.
22:32But it's clear.
22:34I mean, I don't know if we're ever going to get that.
22:40I didn't know how to say William Burke Kerwin was in school.
22:45During the season, he was in the season with Teresa Kenney and Nalani,
22:49and he was in the season, but he didn't know how to say it.
22:53He was a good one to say to Maria Kerwin,
22:56who was involved in the last night,
22:59in the last few months.
23:00He was in the season with the first time he was in the season with the first time he was in the season.
23:07But she was in the middle of the night of the 19th century...
23:19..and she was in the middle of the night of Maria.
23:22Sarah-Maria Carwin died tragically, Ireland's eye, 6th September 1852, aged 28.
23:37She was in the middle of this summer, was Lisbon's home, wouldn't she?
23:42No.
23:43But she was in the middle of the night of Paris.
23:46She was in the middle of the night of Paris.
23:51It was the day of the night of Paris, but it was the same day.
23:54She was in the middle of the night of Paris, our bakeries, too.
24:00Who was the nine-packed place?
24:02She was in the middle of the night of Paris.
