about

Williamina (Minnie) Dean was the only woman hanged in New Zealand. She was sentenced to death in 1895 for the murder of 11-month-old Dorothy Edith Carter, whose body was buried in the garden of Dean’s home in Winton. The body of another baby, Eva Hornsby (1 month) and the skeleton of a small child were also found buried in the garden. Dean, an unregistered ‘baby farmer’ (who looked after unwanted children for pay), was caring for several other children at the time. Her trial highlighted the vulnerability of children born to unmarried mothers and the limited regulation of their care.

lyrics

In an era of discretion
Children taken, without question
Paper trail, no background checks
For the victim's, suspects

Minnie Dean
Malicious fiend
Minnie Dean
Is your conscience clean

Hiding bodies, in the garden
Where she was, waved a pardon
Argued deaths, accidental
Swinging moods, are temperamental

Minnie Dean
Morbid queen
Minnie Dean
Where are the 14?

Angelic child disregarded
Seen by all as train departed
Hatbox and baby became as one
Lost in abyss, motherless son

Minnie Dean
Malicious fiend
Minnie Dean
Is your conscience clean
Minnie Dean
Morbid queen
Minnie Dean
Where are the 14?
