However he shifted his attention another young woman who recently inherited 200. He was determined to marry her. Mary and the unborn child complicated his plans. One night he put his arms around Mary as if to kiss her then pulled out a concealed knife and cut her throat in a most dreadful manner. He then dragged the body to a ditch covered it with brambles and returned home. The investigation led to Williams. Despite the evidence of his guilt he persisted in denying the crime until he was confronted with Mary's body. He was so shocked that he confessed his guilt. The two crude woodcuts depict Williams being taken through town by horse and cart surrounded by a baying crowd and the second shows him hanging from the gallows. The pamphlet concludes with verses "Addressed to the Fair Sex." Two editions listed in COPAC one of ours at the British Library. unknown books

In 1889 Florence Elizabeth Maybrick 1862-1941 a American-born socialite was convicted for fatally poisoning her husband James Maybrick a Liverpool cotton merchant with a history of drug abuse. Despite scanty evidence pointing to her guilt and several procedural irregularities she was sentenced to death. Public outrage led the Home Office to commute her sentence to life in prison. She was released 15 years later. This case attracted a great deal of attention and generated a large bibliography. Densmore a medical doctor believed Maybrick was innocent and deserved a retrial. Written while Maybrick was in prison her study argues that Mr. Maybrick poisoned himself.

He was murdered by Joseph Knapp with the assistance of Richard and George Crowninshield. It was one of the most famous American cases of the 1830s due to the sensational nature of the crime and the participation and oratory of Daniel Webster who was one of the trial prosecutors. Initially the jury could not decide whether the defendants had bludgeoned White to death. A second trial convicted Knapp and Richard Crowninshield who were sentenced to death.

These images relate to a sensational event that occurred in New York in 1872: the murder of the financier Fisk also known as "Diamond Jim" and "Jubilee Jim" by his former business associate Stokes. McDade's summary of the case: "Stokes and Fisk become engaged in a bitter legal battle which originated when Stokes stole Fisk's mistress Josie Mansfield. In retaliation Fisk had charged Stokes with embezzling oil company funds; Stokes replied with a charge of false imprisonment. Then Mansfield threatened to publish letters from Fisk revealing some of his transactions. On January 5 an injunction was issued restraining the publication of the letters; on the next day Josie Mansfield was exposed to a humiliating cross-examination in police court on her relations with Fisk. Stokes in a rage followed Fisk to the Broadway Central Hotel where he shot him on the stairs. After two trials the state could only convict Stokes of third-degree manslaughter."

Although OCLC records an "Ann Walters 1812-1844" McDade believes her story is a work of fiction that incorporates details of a dozen different murders. He also doubts the veracity of the Runkle case. Walters ran a tavern on the Delaware-Maryland border where she liked to murder traveling slave traders and steal their slaves money and other valuables. Her murder of a slave-trader is depicted in one of the woodcuts. Her depravity is blamed in part on the morally corrosive effects of slavery: "Although born in a free country where slavery is abhorred Canada she soon imbibed a taste for the traffic in slaves as our readers may easily perceive that her location was in a slave state where morality is not very exalted as such a course could not have been carried on in a free state so long without meeting the eye of detection." Walters began her career by killing her child and husband she then became the leader of a criminal gang. OCLC locates 4 copies in law libraries. Harvard Social Law University of Missouri Yale.

We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order at least not without checking with us first although we don't always have time to check. We aim to dispatch prompty the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Marshall Cavendish paperback
