MURDER REVISITED A Study of Two Poisoning Cases

Hardback. The Case of Major Armstrong and the Case of Harold Greenwood. Both were country-town solicitors accused of poisoning their wives by arsenic. In November 1920, after an exciting trial, Greenwood was acquitted. In 1922 Armstrong was brought to trial; his fate was very different to that of his fellow-solicitor, he was executed in May 1922. Many of the same expert witnesses appeared in the two trials; much of the evidence appeared to prove that the two cases were parallel - but the dramatic differences between fact and suspicion show up strongly when they are considered side by side. With Frontis., Appendix, Bibliog. and Index. 199pp. 8vo. h/back. With gift insc. to ffep o/w Vg+
