Book excerpt: On 12th April, 1886, a young woman, dark-eyed and petite, stood in the dock at the Old Bailey charged with the murder of her husband. She was the attractive, French-speaking wife of a South London grocer and of little importance socially, yet her maiden name was unusual, aristocratic even - Adelaide Blanche de la Tremoille. Uncommon, too, was her alleged crime, for her husband, Edwin Bartlett, had died with his stomach full of liquid chloroform, a poison that was more generally associated with cases of suicide or accidental death, not murder. But then, many things about Adelaide were extraordinary. Her name, the crime with which she was charged, the outrageous scenes at her trial - indeed, her whole life - might have sprung from the pages of a far-fetched novel. Even The Times felt moved to declare that 'whether on the theory of guilt or innocence, the whole story is marvellous.' The crowds that flocked to her trial certainly thought so, and their voracious interest was finally rewarded by the sight of her defence counsel, the great Edward Clarke, sobbing with emotion as the verdict was delivered.

Download or read book Criminal Poisoning written by John H. Trestrail and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-01-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passion {poison} often makes fools of clever men; sometimes even makes clever men of fools. La Rochefoucauld This book represents a pioneering work dealing exclusively with poi sons in the hands of the murderer, tamperer, and terrorist. One of the oldest offensive killing weapons developed by humanity, after the stick, stone, and fist, were the poisons. Yet, after nearly 5000 years of recorded history I no in-depth work has ever been produced dealing exclusively with poisons as weapons for homicide. The author's review of the intemationalliterature has revealed only a few scattered scientific papers dealing with the psychology of the poisoner I and books on medical jurisprudence and forensic investiga tion have devoted only a few pages to this important subject, usually stating that it is a rare " " occurrence. How do we know the true rarity of the use of poisons for homicide? All one has to do is look at the number of poisonings that are first documented only after the exhu mation of the deceased to raise the logical question: If we missed this one, how many more have been missed? If all those buried in our cemeteries who had been poisoned could raise their hands, we would probably be aghast at the numbers! For years, the homicidal poisoner has remained shrouded in mys tery.

Book excerpt: "Superb... Flanders's convincing and smart synthesis of the evolution of an official police force, fictional detectives, and real-life cause célèbres will appeal to devotees of true crime and detective fiction alike." -Publishers Weekly, starred review In this fascinating exploration of murder in nineteenth century England, Judith Flanders examines some of the most gripping cases that captivated the Victorians and gave rise to the first detective fiction Murder in the nineteenth century was rare. But murder as sensation and entertainment became ubiquitous, with cold-blooded killings transformed into novels, broadsides, ballads, opera, and melodrama-even into puppet shows and performing dog-acts. Detective fiction and the new police force developed in parallel, each imitating the other-the founders of Scotland Yard gave rise to Dickens's Inspector Bucket, the first fictional police detective, who in turn influenced Sherlock Holmes and, ultimately, even P.D. James and Patricia Cornwell. In this meticulously researched and engrossing book, Judith Flanders retells the gruesome stories of many different types of murder in Great Britain, both famous and obscure: from Greenacre, who transported his dismembered fiancée around town by omnibus, to Burke and Hare's bodysnatching business in Edinburgh; from the crimes (and myths) of Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper, to the tragedy of the murdered Marr family in London's East End. Through these stories of murder-from the brutal to the pathetic-Flanders builds a rich and multi-faceted portrait of Victorian society in Great Britain. With an irresistible cast of swindlers, forgers, and poisoners, the mad, the bad and the utterly dangerous, The Invention of Murder is both a mesmerizing tale of crime and punishment, and history at its most readable.
