13 - Captain Silas Soule and Carl Panzram

Captain Silas Soule and Carl Panzram - Captain Silas Soule In Denver Colorado April 1865 a respected charismatic union cavalry captain named Silas Soule - was murdered in the streets. It would be just over a week after Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. At 26 year old Soule was still a young man but his murder did not come as a surprise. Soule himself predicted it happening numerous times, including the day before his death. In 1838 Soule was born in Bath, Maine, into a family of abolitionists and raised in a colony with the radical ideals of the time such as gender and racial equality. Carl Panzram Born in 1891 Carl Panzram's childhood is a thing of horror which would lead to one of the most sadistic and long crime sprees in history. Living in poverty with his immigrant parents in Minnesota, he experienced severe abuse and neglect. When he was just 8 years old Panzram had his first-ever arrest for being drunk in public. In 1903 at age 11 he would break into a neighbors home stealing some cake, apples, and a revolver. This break-in incident would see him sent to Minnesota State Training School.  He would say his rage and hate for everything human was intensified because of his time here. While there, the staff members raped him and beat him. He was often tortured and made to dance naked for the staff members. Attendees dubbed this place "the paint shop", because children from school would leave "painted" with bruises, bloodied, and broken down. Panzram wrote of the lessons from school as: "I was reformed all right ... I had been taught by Christians how to be a hypocrite, and I had learned more about stealing, lying, hating, burning and killing. I had learned that a boy's penis could be used for something besides to urinate with, and that a rectum could be used for other purposes."
