Paperback. Condición: New. In late 1862, the thin veneer of sedate, rural respectability, layer by layer, was painfully peeled back, to uncover a turbulent world of domestic violence and murder in the Lincolnshire hamlet of Moorhouses, located between Mareham le Fen and Revesby, nine miles from Horncastle.What had started as suspicion, gossip and malicious speculation, slowly curdled into a toxic cocktail, as the decayed bodies of two women were exhumed eighteen months after their deaths to reveal large quantities of arsenic embedded in their viscera.The story of John and Elizabeth Garner filled multiple newspaper columns, stuffed full of the sensational, the lurid and the shocking. It also led to serious questions concerning the competence of a distinguished judge and the naivety of an inexperienced jury, as well as claims of a miscarriage of justice which continued for over a quarter of a century.Raising the Poisoned Dead maps out the complex contours of a still unresolved mid-Victorian murder mystery which challenges the reader to work out just what took place in an obscure corner of nineteenth-century Lincolnshire.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The nineteenth century saw the growth of commercially available solutions for dealing with the problem of domestic infestation by mice and rats. Promising a reliable means of destroying the furry detestables, such products as Battles Vermin Killer, Hunters Infallible Vermin Destroyer and Barbers Magic Vermin Killer were sold cheaply over the counter, as well as being sent through the post.The trade in such dangerous products made serious money for manufacturers, wholesalers, and shopkeepers. Unfortunately, it also contributed to what was frequently described by anxious coroners and excited journalists as a suicide epidemic, often involving desperate young women in domestic service. In addition, the deadly packets of poison also provided a convenient means for the disposal of a brutal husband, an inconvenient wife, or an insured child.Focusing on Battles Vermin Killer, produced in Lincoln around 1850, Malcolm Moyes details a catalogue of human misfortune and disaster, evoked most powerfully in the story of thirteen-year-old Elizabeth Vamplew, indicted for the shocking murder of an infant in her care with strychnine-based vermin killer, in 1862.Malcolm Moyes is the author of several distinguished books on nineteenth century Lincolnshire crime and punishment.

Paperback. Condición: New. Jane Bell of Laceby, Elizabeth Dodds of Wrangle and Ellen Green of Fishtoft were three Lincolnshire women put on trial between 1845 and 1875 for killing their husbands with large quantities of arsenic, but were judged to be innocent of the crime. This latest book by Malcolm Moyes on nineteenth-century Lincolnshire poison trials is a comprehensive examination of the circumstantial evidence against the women, which was often constructed from unsavoury rumours, village gossip and downright lies. It is also a critical analysis of the varied key factors which probably led to the acquittal of the women, despite all the odds. Whilst all three women were saved from the hangman's noose, the final verdict of the jury may still leave the modern reader with some doubts and question marks concerning the innocence of the women, as it did with a number of contemporary commentators on the cases. Malcolm Moyes is the author of By Force of Circumstances: the Lefley Case Reopened and Attired in Deepest Mourning - Eliza Joyce, Mary Ann Milner and Priscilla Biggadike, both published by Troubador.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In the second half of the nineteenth century, three women from very different social backgrounds were convicted of infanticide and sentenced to death at the Lincoln Assizes. Lucy Ann Buxton, from Metheringham Fen, was a petty criminal whose mother was an opium addict; Emma Wade, from Stamford, was the daughter of a respected policeman; whilst Selina Stanhope, from Langtoft, near Market Deeping, was admitted into the workhouse as a destitute pauper, after being rejected by her family. All three women were eventually reprieved from the hangman's noose by order of the Home Secretary. Reprieved at Lincoln delves into the sombre stories of these women and the impact of their crimes on their respective communities. Drawing from a range of contemporary sources, the book also examines previously unpublished documents related to the three cases and sheds new light on judicial processes sometimes shrouded in secrecy and silence.…
