Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths In Dublin available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Tory gangs, madmen, war criminals, frauds, anarchists, duelists, kidnappers, and more scandal-makers throughout four centuries of Irish history. Dublin is a wonderful, energetic cultural center—the pride of Irish achievements in architecture, arts, and literature. But it is also a city of paradoxes and conflicts—and a long, fascinating history of crime. Stephen Wade now reveals Dublin’s “strange eventful history” in this thrilling collection of murderers, thieves, daredevil highwaymen, libelers, seducers, and bloody avengers—from eighteenth-century turncoats to Victorian-era rogues to a twentieth-century parliamentary candidate with a killer past. Amid tales of sensational investigations and infamous courtroom trials, readers will discover the truth behind the disappearance of the Crown Jewels in 1907; the bizarre motives of nineteenth-century serial killer John Delahunt; and the startling charges leveled against Oscar Wilde’s father, a revolutionary doctor embroiled in a felonious and sexual cause célèbre of his own.

Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths Around Leicester available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Murder and more in the Midlands—true stories of historical crimes in this British city from the 1850s to the 1950s. Includes photos. Within the pages of this book are some of the most notorious and often baffling cases in Leicestershire’s history—from the appalling double murder at Melton Mowbray in 1856, known locally as the Peppermint Billy murders, to the 1953 murderer Joseph Reynolds, who killed because he wanted to know how it felt. This book explores the cases that dominated the headlines, not only across the city and surrounding county but also nationwide. These are the stories from a time when murder was a capital offense and guilt or innocence was proven without the benefit of modern forensic technique or DNA profiling. Included also are some of those mysterious cases that will remain forever unsolved, as in the now famous case of Bella Wright. Known across the whole country as the Green Bicycle Murder, it commanded public attention in 1919 because of the complex and puzzling nature of the crime—and has continued to do so ever since.

Download and read online ebook Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths in and Around Newcastle write by Maureen Anderson. This book was released on 2004-05-31. Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths in and Around Newcastle available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A true-crime tour of this historical British coal town, with photos and illustrations. Historically, Newcastle was a town of great wealth because of the abundance of natural resources. Certainly by the eighteenth century, Newcastle and its surrounding towns made up the most important commercial center in the north of England. But alongside the wealth of the merchants and the factory owners, there was the dire poverty of the working class—and plenty of crime. A pall of dark fog would linger over the buildings, caused by the pollution spouting out from the chimneys of the ironworks and other industries. Bad housing, sanitation, overcrowding, and low wages bred superstition, ignorance, and illiteracy. Alcohol was often the only release the poorer classes had from their otherwise humdrum daily drudgery. It was not only the men who would spend all their money in the many beer houses—women also would drink themselves into oblivion, even if it meant their children went hungry. This book spans three hundred years of grisly events, beginning with the execution of so-called witches—stories that show the depraved side of humanity, and provide insight into the darker history of the area.
