He Had it Coming... Right?!?

In 1947 Eugene, 23 year old Virginia Harington shot her husband, Gene Harington, in the quiet hours of the morning, insisting it was self defense. What led up to it was a long, suspicious night of drinking, unanswered questions, and a marriage that may not have been as stable as it appeared. Virginia claimed Gene threatened her with a gun, yet the scene told a different story, one that hinted he may have never seen it coming. With conflicting details and an eerily calm crime scene, the truth became harder to pin down than anyone expected. After just two hours, the jury set her free, but whether justice was served or something more unsettling slipped through remains a mystery.

Speaker
Welcome back to Beneath the Evergreens, everyone. Yes, I'm so excited for your story today. I cannot wait. Me too. Can i tell you about an interesting tidbit of a story that I saw earlier this week?
00:01:07
Speaker
You can tell me anything, literally. So and as ah as a a true moss goblin, I subscribe to the Seattle Times. So I can see like what news that's coming in, right? Usually it's not things that I'm particularly interested in But yeah this this past week I got an interesting article that just said, corpses are washing up on shores. And I always said, oh my goodness. What?
00:01:32
Speaker
Crazy. Yeah, so I clicked into the story. Just read a brief tidbit on it. But essentially there are these... these Carcasses um I'm going to say carcass because it's an animal And I feel like that's a more Oh okay Because when I hear corpse I think human right That's what I thought I was like wait you're yeah Corpse car what what how do we make this jump Yes yeah no so article said corpse I think a carcass is a better term But yeah essentially these What they think are fox carcasses A bunch of them washed ashore And it looked like they had been killed Like it they were like bound There was like ropes things like that
00:02:08
Speaker
um So this is a pretty developing story. I haven't dug into it too much besides that. But future episode, maybe. yeah See where this goes. But crazy and just really just a wild thing to just pop into on like a Thursday afternoon, I think.
00:02:26
Speaker
That is unsettling, right? It feels like, i feel like either it's the a sign of like a serial killer or like a becoming serial killer or it's like some weird cult thing. Some weird cult thing or like,
00:02:39
Speaker
Yeah, why rope? That's scary. I don't like it. Yeah. I hate it. um I feel like I'm immediately, i literally just wrote that down so I can look it up after this because i's I don't like it Right? It seems real super odd. Super odd. I'm intrigued. bro Keep you guys updated.

Yes.

00:02:57
Speaker
Did you hear about the new murder victim for Ted Bundy? He got linked to another murder. i don't think i recently I don't think I recently did, but i actually when I was researching this episode, i did come across um a victim who was thought to be um related to Ted Bundy.
00:03:17
Speaker
Oh, this one is, New diet DNA Testing Links Ted Bundy to Unsolved 1974 Murder of Utah Teenager. And this is an article from The Guardian. Just one of the pages I opened up, but there are more.

Just all around. ah But we're going make it through it. It's going to be great. um Because you know why Because we're here at Beneath the Evergreens. Absolutely. And Anna is going to tell us the most wonderful story, hopefully, in the world.

Exploring 'Chicago': Themes of Murder and Mayhem

00:04:09
Speaker
TBD. We'll see. It's probably, is it's going to be a wonderfully told story. I'm not sure if it's going to be a wonderful story, but alas, here we are. It is a very interesting story. I'm going jump right into it, if that's cool with you. Yes, I'm really excited.
00:04:22
Speaker
So, Jess, have you seen the musical Chicago by chance? I have, yes. Okay. So for those of you listening that maybe aren't as familiar with Chicago, the theme is is essentially women killing their partners, their husbands, ah affair partners. um they really They really didn't care who, just the men in their lives. And then the story is told from inside a jail the jail in Chicago.
00:04:50
Speaker
that. And these women kind of becoming celebrities in a way. Yeah. Yeah. Well, one of the most popular songs from Chicago is called Thelblock Tango. And one of the catchphrases, the chorus is, he had coming.
00:05:07
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Now you' I'm going to say that and now it's going stuck in your head for like the rest of the day. He had it coming. I don't know if that's the even the the beat, but that's how it's set in my head. That's exactly it. I was listening to while I was writing this, and it's it's so catchy. It's so good. I love it. Yes.
00:05:23
Speaker
So Chicago took place in, obviously, in Chicago in the 1920s. But the Pacific Northwest actually had our own version of this play. Yeah.
00:05:34
Speaker
I mean, we probably had multiple. like Yeah. All things considered, your spouse is the most likely person to kill you. if like Yeah. 1000%. Yeah.

The Case of Virginia Harrington Begins

00:05:43
Speaker
Yeah. um However, the story we have today takes place in the nineteen forty s in Eugene, Oregon.
00:05:49
Speaker
And it could 100% be a part of the musical Chicago. I'm so excited. it's It's very interesting. Oregon's been coming in strong these last three episodes. Right?
00:06:01
Speaker
i feel like yeah there's just a lot of really cool stories out of Oregon. like There are. Kind of weird. Kind of crazy. Very fun talk about. I feel like... i feel like Yes. Washington, Oregon are brother and sisters when it comes to like the weird stuff that goes on. At least the west side. that I haven't really traveled to the east side of Oregon.
00:06:23
Speaker
So TBD. All right, Jess. So we're going to get into the story. But before we do, I want you to pull up the photo that I was talking about earlier. And for all of our listeners, I want you guys to take a peek at it as well.
00:06:37
Speaker
This is that Virginia Harrington. And she is the the star of the story, if you will. And just look at her. Like, she looks like she's seen some shit.
00:06:51
Speaker
I was going to say... Yeah, that, but I didn't want to be mean. I thought she might have been the victim, so i was like, I'm not going to say anything. night Okay. Okay, interesting. No. Virginia Harrington is 23 years old, and she was accused of murdering her husband, 33-year-old Jean Harrington, in the morning of January 28, 1947, while while Jean was asleep.
00:07:16
Speaker
So she claimed self-defense. However, there's potential evidence to the contrary. What really happened? only virginia knows and oh my gosh she knows some stuff that i saw that photo and i was immediately like oh my goodness she's not here to mess around yeah when i see this photo i see someone who's tired of the bullshit yes yes like i'm done i have been reached my limits and you're surpassing them and i'm gonna fuck you up now absolutely that's what that says to me yes
00:07:49
Speaker
So this photo was actually taken in the courtroom during the trial. And this is one of the most famous photos associated with this case. Like every news article had this photo attached to it.
00:08:00
Speaker
Whoever this photographer is, they captured something perfectly. I'm not sure what it is, but they captured something. Yes. And it is wild. Yes. Okay, so let's get into a little bit of

The Night of the Incident: A Timeline

00:08:12
Speaker
the meat of this story. So Gene Harrington, our victim, he was a successful lumber mill owner in Eugene, Oregon. So his name's Gene. The story takes place in Eugene.
00:08:22
Speaker
There's also another Eugene that's going to pop up later on. It's not confusing at all. Yeah, we have a strange theme going on in this episode. So he and Virginia had been married since 1944.
00:08:33
Speaker
Meaning that Virginia, like I said earlier She was 23 years old, so she was only 20 when they got married And Gene was 30, so he was like 10 years older than her yeah And this was the 40s So that wasn't an abnormal age gap But I can only assume that it led to an Interesting power dynamic within the couple You know? Yeah, yeah um So the night of the murder Started with Gene going out for drinks With his secretary A woman.
00:09:03
Speaker
Suspicious? Maybe. Okay. not a little bit um His real estate agent, Eugene, and Eugene's wife. So, at this time- So, a double date, essentially.
00:09:17
Speaker
Yes. But guess where his wife was? At home with their two young kids. I believe they two kids under two at the time. Oh, my gosh. Yes. Oh, no. Okay.
00:09:29
Speaker
So Gene and his groups, they stayed out really pretty they sat stayed out pretty late. They were all hanging out, having a good time. um But around midnight, both of the women left. So his secretary and then Eugene's wife both headed home.
00:09:43
Speaker
And Gene and Eugene stayed out a little bit longer. They went to another cafe, had a couple more drinks. um And then later, around 2.30, 3 a.m., Gene and Eugene went to inspect lumber mills in the area.
00:09:59
Speaker
why they wanted to do this in the middle of the night unclear extremely unclear actually um so essentially eugene had been thinking about selling his lumber mill so there maybe that's why they were out about why they had to do that at 3 a.m m no idea after drinking that's crazy right right okay um they were they drunk and Maybe at this point, Eugene says that they had a couple of drinks throughout the night, um but he didn't think that Gene was drunk.
00:10:31
Speaker
But also, if I'm out in the middle of the night and then my buddy dies the next morning, I'm also going to have a more favorable look on his state. 100%. Yes. Yes.
00:10:43
Speaker
So, that like I said, that was at 2.33 a.m. At around 4 a.m., they were still out. um But that was when they um Gene received a call from Virginia.
00:10:54
Speaker
Not totally sure how or where. um My 2020s brain is like, oh, you can call it anyone from anywhere. But at this time, no. right like it is This was the time of landlines. So a little unclear how she got a hold of him, but she did.
00:11:08
Speaker
And she was pissed. It's 4 a.m. As one should be. Right? 4 a.m. yeah He's not home. She's convinced that he's out with another woman. Which, again... um I mean, he kind of was.
00:11:21
Speaker
But also, like, if this keeps... Like, this doesn't seem like the first time he was out late and didn't keep her in the loop. So I imagine she's just, like, he's always with other women. Like, crazy stuff is going on, and she's she's done. she's and This is also back in the day where, like, there's not disposable diapers. There's, not there's like, glass bottles. So she's having to do, like, hard labor at home. yeah And then her husband is, like...
00:11:47
Speaker
MIA. No call. oh Exactly. Putting myself in her shoes, I'd be hot. I'd be so mad too. And um it's a little unclear what the family situation is like, but I know that her mother is actually living down in California. So like her parents are not around to help her out.
00:12:03
Speaker
So she's also soloing it. Yes. Yeah. whoo Right? So- Gene gets this call from Virginia. She's pissed. He's kind of like, oh, she thinks I'm talking. She just thinks I'm with another woman. Him and Eugene are kind of like, ah, that's funny. Just kind of brush it off.
00:12:23
Speaker
Eye roll. Right? Right? But after a while, they they keep looking at the mills, and then they said, okay, it's time time to call it for the night. we're goingnna yeah it We'll head out. So, Gene gets home around 545 the morning, which...
00:12:36
Speaker
which Nuts to me. Which is like you're getting up to go to work. Exactly. At a lumber mill. Exactly. You might as well just stayed there. Right? So he's he's out basically all night. But then he comes. So comes home. And somehow he wakes everyone up.
00:12:50
Speaker
He wakes Virginia up. She might have been waiting up for him as well. Yeah. A little unclear. Yeah. But he wakes their two kids up. And like I said, they're two under two. And i mean, I don't have kids, but I imagine that when they're up and they're they're that little and they get woken up a little wired, they don't really want to go back down. It's a whole it's a whole production to get them to go back to sleep.
00:13:12
Speaker
As someone that has one singular, if this happened to me, I would have already been mad. If this happened to two children, I understand. if I understand. i get the motive at this point.
00:13:26
Speaker
You're tired. You're exhausted. You just want to sleep. And then someone comes in that you're already pissed at and wakes up everyone. Yeah. Oh, yeah I'd have to, I have to take a walk. I'd be like, I will be back. So let's do your point.
00:13:41
Speaker
Tensions are very high in this house. when john gets home So Virginia settles the two kids. Um, and then all hell breaks loose. They're, they're arguing. They are mad. I mean, she's mad he woke up the kids. he's She's mad he was out late. She's mad that because he she thinks he was with another woman. He's mad at her for being so mad at him. He thinks that she needs to loosen up a little bit. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. This is just it's not a great situation.
00:14:12
Speaker
And it just continues to escalate. um They argue until about 745 a.m.

The Shooting: Self-defense or Murder?

00:14:18
Speaker
And that is when Jean. So this is like two hours of arguing right now. And that's when Jean is like getting ready to go to sleep, but he grabs his gun. So she can't.
00:14:30
Speaker
Which and I'm going to add right now, now that we're into this section of the story, all of this is coming from Virginia. So this is her perspective. We don't have anyone else there to corroborate any of this.
00:14:41
Speaker
So she specifically said he grabbed his gun so I could not. Yes. Yes. As in like I was going to shoot him or like as in he thought that that she was going to shoot him. That's something bold to admit to.
00:14:54
Speaker
Yeah. Right. Or it was just like, hey, that's how intense this argument was. Like they were both like really at each other's throats and it just kept escalating.
00:15:06
Speaker
So anyway, so he he grabs his gun, claiming that he wants to have it so she can't get it. Virginia then claims that Jean threatened to shoot her and grabbed her arms that she couldn't move. She couldn't run away.
00:15:19
Speaker
Oh, my God. Yes. She then reaches across him while he's holding her arm, grabs the gun, and fires off two shots. She hits Gene in the head, and he dies. Oh.
00:15:34
Speaker
Yes. She then calls a friend. It's kind of like, what what do I do? The friend's like, you need to call an ambulance right now. So Virginia then calls an ambulance.
00:15:45
Speaker
Medics, police show up, and that is when the interviews start. And essentially, from a police point of view, hey, this person died suspiciously. we have this person here. she's She's not admitting that she didn't do it. She's not saying that someone else came into the house and shot him.
00:16:02
Speaker
um But she's just claiming self-defense immediately. So, of course, this case goes to trial.

Trial and Acquittal: The Verdict's Impact

00:16:10
Speaker
Yes. um During the court proceedings, the prosecution points out some inconsistencies in Virginia's story.
00:16:17
Speaker
So mostly related to the scene. So okay obviously we have her story, but then we have the physical evidence and of of, you know, how, where Jean is positioned, what to everything else, what the scene is really telling us. And the scene's telling a very different story. So Gene was found laying on the bed, but in a way that didn't appear there was a struggle. It didn't look like um he had like fallen back after a fight or like his clothes weren't like rumpled, like someone had like he had been grabbing someone, someone had been grabbing him.
00:16:47
Speaker
Yeah. It just kind of looked like he was almost are already laying there. Additionally, the bullets went through Gene's head into a pillow. They were recovered from a pillow.
00:17:00
Speaker
Oh, okay. so and So like he was already like ah laying down to be asleep. Exactly. Also, the DA asserted that a bullet passed through his eyelid as if his eyes were closed when he was shot. Okay.
00:17:14
Speaker
So he either was blinking at the exact right moment. Yes. Or something crazy. I mean, if someone's, if like in Virginia's defense, she has the gun, he's scared, he's closing his eyes. Like that's a natural reaction. That could happen.
00:17:29
Speaker
That could. But we're now getting into he said, she said. And there's no he. Yeah, exactly. and he's not around to tell his side of the story. Oh, my gosh. Okay. But Virginia and her lawyer are holding steady that it was self-defense, that he threatened her and she just did what she had to do to...
00:17:46
Speaker
basically eliminate the threat and save her own life so she could get back to her kids because in the meantime her kids are in state custody while her mom comes up from california to watch them oh my gosh yeah so she's i'm guessing in the 40s that was awful yes yeah so she's just hyper focused on her kids and making sure they're okay yeah but the problem like i said the prosecution's like whoa we don't think this was self-defense we think that she actively killed her husband um But like we talked about earlier, there was a lot of shit going on.
00:18:17
Speaker
Like, yeah, he was coming home late. There's a chance that she just had enough and she saw an opportunity and she just she took it. Yeah. But two hours is a long time. Well, I guess we only know that it's two hours from her perspective. Exactly.
00:18:33
Speaker
Exactly. OK. Yeah. The timeline is just it's completely on her. So Virginia even took the stand during during this trial. she Another bold move. She is like don't know if she's like laying down the cards like i truly am innocent or it's like I am so narcissistic that I just I know whatever I say you're going to believe. That's where I go back to that photo. Like is she just a woman that is fed up with a shitty husband and she's just she's done with the whole thing? Or is she a calculated murderer?
00:19:08
Speaker
And just like, I'm going to get away with this. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, my gosh. This is such a good story. i mean, an awful story, but like I'm intrigued. ah So.
00:19:20
Speaker
that They're at trial. The jury then gets all of the information. And after only two hours of deliberating, they decide that Virginia is innocent. Oh my God. Like just fully innocent.
00:19:33
Speaker
Nothing. um um It's reported that when the verdict was read, she just let out a single sob. And like, that was it until a couple hours later, once it really settled and then she was yeah inconsolable.
00:19:47
Speaker
But oh my gosh it kind of comes back to people's perception of women, specifically young women at the time. yeah Like, The question's still there. Did Virginia really kill him out of self-defense or was it just cold-blooded murder that a jury could not fathom was done by a young woman?
00:20:07
Speaker
Articles specifically mentioned how pretty she was as well. You have this attractive 23-year-old mother of two small kids. God forbid she do anything that's heinous. Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:20
Speaker
who so who was I wonder if her attorney was like using that as leverage to like make sure you dab your eyes and oh yeah I feel you have to yeah I feel like that's like that's gonna be your best defense you just play into this yeah so the question now is like did did this culture just let let a young murderer walk free for the rest of her life mean, we're never, she ever did she ever come out and say anything or she just, this was it and she

Life After Trial: Virginia Harrington's Legacy

00:20:48
Speaker
was done.
00:20:48
Speaker
So the craziest part, there is not a ton of information on this case. Like there's a handful of news articles, but everything's pretty like sparse. Like I was digging through old newspapers and it's just little blurb here, a little blurb here. There's like one or two larger articles about it, but it just wasn't reported. And so I can't find out much about Virginia after the story.
00:21:13
Speaker
I'm assuming that she went on to live a normal life. um At this time, it wouldn't have been unusual for her to marry again. You know, her she needs to help support her two kids. Yeah. but did that next husband make it?
00:21:26
Speaker
Was it truly just a crime that was meant for Jean or like is is Virginia like a serial killer? Yeah. And that's a big out that's ah a big assertion. I'll take, i'll say that. um i mean, well, I think it's just for someone to murder someone, you have to be in a state that is ah something I've never experienced. It's like, especially if it's, if you're like saying it's a kill or be killed type situation. Yes.
00:21:56
Speaker
That's one thing. But if you shot someone while they were dead asleep, just cause you were angry I'm guessing that's going to come up somewhere down the line. Exactly. Exactly.
00:22:09
Speaker
Or very well could have just been the situation, right? Like, no she was not that mad again. She hadn't been that mad since. But for something in with Jean just brought this out of her. We'll never know. Which which I totally look, if I'm dating someone sorry. No, no, no. If I'm married to someone and I have two babies, two under two, that's those are babies. Yes. And you're out until 545 in the morning with like no call, nothing.
00:22:37
Speaker
Yes. bras That's just disrespectful is what that is. and like Absolutely. If that's just a norm, I can't say anything because we don't have any like background, but I'm guessing if that's his norm, maybe they, I don't know, maybe they brought that into the into the mix too of the defense of just, he wasn't super caring and maybe, i don't know, maybe these two hour fights were well documented. Yeah.
00:23:03
Speaker
I want to go back to this friend that she called. Cause first of all, kudos to you to be that friend. Right? Right. Like I, if this happened to me, I don't even I would, my first assumption would be to call the police, but then I'm like, wait, who would I call someone else first? And who would that be?
00:23:22
Speaker
I mean, i know I would call you. 100%. I'd be like, all right, I got a truck now. I do have a ah access to a tractor. um Yes, I feel like you would go into like go mode. Not to say I'll ever kill my husband, but like ah you were like, you you get a plan together real fast and it's a good plan. Yeah.
00:23:43
Speaker
I'll bring the bleach. You got to go buy this. I will buy this at these three stores. I'm leaving my cell phone at home. I'm actually going to rent my like a 1962 Chevy that has no computers. like can Yeah. I thought about this way too much in 30 seconds.
00:23:58
Speaker
And that's exactly why I'm calling you. Yeah.
00:24:03
Speaker
Oh, I feel honored. Thank you. Absolutely. um This was such a good story. oh my gosh. Thank you. My brain is like on fire. I wish we knew more. I wish we could like interview our kids, which is not good, but like, Hey, was your mom?
00:24:19
Speaker
growing up was she nice was she doing other things what was that like yeah like how how was she because like her kids would not have any recollection of their dad yeah like they would have only seen her post gene and maybe she was lovely then maybe it really was just her relationship with gene that brought out this horrible side of her i don't know i know and i think what's interesting too is 1940s like beating your wife was kind of like accepted yeah yeah Or I don't feel like you got punished as much or it wasn't talked about as much. So for her to come off as innocent.
00:24:54
Speaker
Yes. It's also, so it's very surprising. Like even though she is, there's this like connotation that women can't be violent in there. And she was probably playing into that, but it's still innocent is crazy. Right.
00:25:08
Speaker
I just keep going back to that photo of her. Like that. Yeah. She looks, I can't, I still can't decide if she looks like she's just fed up with the whole thing and yeah she just was tired of Jean's bullshit and that was it. Or if she's, if it was like truly this calculated thing that was like almost a more deep seated hatred. yeah You know, I can't tell if it's like, I'm, I'm resigned to my fate, whatever it should be. Or if it's like indifference, right?
00:25:44
Speaker
Yeah, like, let's just speed this up so I can, like, either go to jail or go back home with my kids. Although, if I was on trial for murder, who knows what I would look like. I feel like one minute I'd be laughing, the next minute I'd be crying. i don't know what I would be doing I'm one of those people that, like laugh pretty hysterically at funerals.
00:26:04
Speaker
It's a problem. Well, we have to do a lot of, if if you were ever on trial for something horrible, we'd do a lot of... I'm going to use you as my stand-in. You're calm, cool, and collected always. i'll be like, look, I'll just wait my cell. fine. Anna will be my face. ah
00:26:24
Speaker
She will make sure I look professional and put together. oh Oh, my God. I love it. This was such a good story. Thank you. Thank you. Who else?
00:26:36
Speaker
no Now I really want to go see Chicago again, though, because I feel like i I'm going to be thinking about this story the entire time. There's got to be one somewhere. There's got to be like an amateur theater or something like that. If you find one, let me know. I'll go with you.
00:26:47
Speaker
Absolutely. Absolutely. so Didn't Renee Zellweger star in Chicago? There's a movie Chicago, right? Catherine Theta-Jones, I think. Maybe Renee Zellweger, too. I don't know. For some reason, I feel like she was in it.
00:27:01
Speaker
And she was the one that sang that song. True or not, maybe. i don't know. We could probably look this up because it is Google, but I don't feel like it. I just want, I will just say it's Renee Zellweger.
00:27:14
Speaker
I don't want to search it anymore because I'm like, the song is literally still going through my head. I love it so much. Um, actually I did want to say one thing before we roll out of here.
