Description
A selection of true murder stories from the nineteenth century.
Using descriptive reports from the newspapers of the time, each story unfolds through the investigations made by the police, the capture of the culprit and the trial, ending, in some cases, with a report on the execution.
Among others there is the murder of Olive Beasley where the crowd gathering at her funeral hissed and made rude comments. Did they think she deserved what she got? Michael Toll who started a desparate search for his missing 'wife' and years later a young wages clerk who was shot for the wages he is carrying.
There are cases of poison, shootings and bloody attacks with a knife all written against a background of nineteen century life.
