Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Trial of Hawley Harvey Crippen: Edited With Notes and an Introduction The "Notable Trials Series" is now well enough established, and has been sufficiently welcomed by the legal as well as the general reader, to make unnecessary any explanation of the appearance in it of the trial of Dr. Crippen. In a case of such world-wide notoriety, the theme inevitably of much speculative and imperfectly informed discussion, it is more than ever useful to have the facts, in so far as the trial revealed them, set forth exactly as they were unfolded to the judge and jury; and it has been possible in the Introduction to enlarge upon some other aspects of the case which were not, and could not, be discussed at the Old Bailey. If the trial is less interesting from a legal point of view than some others, this defect is atoned for by the extraordinary human and dramatic interest with which the story is packed, and which has placed Dr. Crippen in the front rank, so to speak, of convicted murderers. I have to thank Sir Edward Marshall Hall, K.C., Sir Richard Muir, Mr. Herbert Austin, Clerk of the Central Criminal Court, the Home Office authorities, the Governor of Pentonville Prison, Dr. Rylance, Crippen´s former business partner, Inspector Mitchell, Mr. (late Inspector) Dew, and Mrs. Harrison for information, material, and assistance in arriving at the conclusions on which the narrative part of the Introduction is based.
