Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sensational Case It was at the Liverpool Autumn Assizes that the case came on, and the court was crowded to suffocation, for a man was on trial for his life. But this fact alone would not have accounted for the brilliant appearance of the court, every available corner of which was filled with ladies who, although for the most part they had arrayed themselves in garments of sober coloring, yet brought with them an atmosphere of "smartness" and an aroma of frivolity which gave a piquancy and an added interest to the scene. It was no common murder which brought these butterflies of society into the close air of the Assize Court. It was no common murderer, no unhappy laborer, arraigned for kicking to death a drunken wife, to gaze on whose features a fashionable beauty had travelled all the way from London and an American heiress had hurried back from Paris. It was a "Society case." The man on his trial, that is to say, was known at the London clubs and in the London ballrooms. He was young, moreover, and if not exactly good-looking, was at least "interesting." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
