Wife Killer

[Steel God]

Hello Peter;

I can only help you out by way of ruling out either Dan Sickles or P.G.T Beauregard as being the man you are thinking of.

Dan Sickles couldn't be he, because as Nigel points out, Sickles killed his adulteress wife's lover. (also the first man to get acquitted on temporary insanity defense) And it couldn't be Pierre Beauregard because neither of his two wives was murdered (first in child birth, and second one as a prisoner of the Federal believe).

It's a catchy little story, but I know of no one that meets the description.
