On the night of September 8, 1935, Senator Huey P. Long was gunned down inside the Louisiana State Capitol. Officially, the shooter was Dr. Carl Weiss, the son-in-law of a judge Long had politically targeted. But from the moment the Kingfish fell, questions have lingered about what really happened in that marble corridor. In Part Two, we examine the chaotic shooting, the immediate aftermath, and the decades of speculation that followed. Was Weiss truly an assassin, or an innocent man caught in the crossfire? And could Long’s death have been the result of a tragic mistake covered up by those closest to him? This episode looks at the evidence, the missing records, and the theories that continue to cast a shadow over one of Louisiana’s most defining moments. Want to Listen to Southern Gothic Ad-Free?
