THE MAN ON YOUR CONSCIENCE An Investigation of The Evans Murder Trial.

Hardback. The author (father of John Eddowes) argues the case for Evans' innocence step by step and shows that with all the safeguards present, a man could be tried for his life and wrongfully convicted and hanged. But for the discovery in 1953 that Christie, who lived in the same house - 10 Rillington Place - as Evans, was a strangler of women, no one would have inquired whether Evans' conviction in 1950 was a miscarriage of justice. Illus., Appendices, Time Chart. 280pp. 8vo. h/back. Includes a loosely inserted photocopy of a typed letter written by Michael Eddowes, (presumably to his local MP at the time), enclosing a copy of the book ahead of a debate into an enquiry into the case, due to be held in the House of Commons on June 5th 1961.
