"The Blue Eyed Six": Berks Movie Madness Film Festival
GoggleWorks Theater
Reading, PA
Friday, October 19. Film begins at 7 p.m. $7 admission. Edna Carmean's book The Blue Eyed Six, based on the famous insurance murder trial and execution in Pennsylvania history. In December 1878, the body of old Joseph Raber was found floating in the icy waters of Indiantown Creek near St. Joseph's Spring, PA. The investigation revealed life insurance policies had been taken out on Raber who was frail and expected not to live very long. The gang might have escaped the noose had it not been for one of them becoming too fond of a local 19 year-old married woman named Magdelena Peters. Her jealous husband, Joe Peters turned the men into Hummelstown authorities. The trial was covered by every major newspaper from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and from Baltimore to New York. A panel discussion will follow the film, visit www.berksmoviemadness.com for more details on the films, the festival and personalities.
