Book Synopsis The Gun Alley Tragedy: Record of the Trial of Colin Campbell Ross by : T. C. Brennan
Download or read book The Gun Alley Tragedy: Record of the Trial of Colin Campbell Ross written by T. C. Brennan and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of the book explains it all - for this is in an account of what was called The Gun Alley Murder. The incident is precipitated by the rape and murder of 12-year-old Alma Tirtschke in Melbourne, Australia, in 1921. She was a schoolgirl who attended Hawthorn West High School and had last been seen alive close to a drinking establishment, the Australian Wine Saloon; under these circumstances her murder caused a sensation. In the 2000s, the case has become well known as a miscarriage of justice, since Colin Campbell Eadie Ross, the Australian wine-bar owner convicted of the murder of a child was executed despite evidence of his innocence - a perspective that this book's author concurs with, even though it was published in 1922.

Book excerpt: In the early morning of New Year's Eve 1921, 12-year-old Alma Tirtschke's naked body was found in Gun Alley, a dead-end Melbourne lane. She had been raped and strangled. In an atmosphere of public frenzy, the police were pushed to find a culprit and charged saloonkeeper Colin Ross with her murder. Rapidly convicted, and with his appeals to higher courts rejected, Ross was hanged - protesting his innocence to the end. Researching the case in 1995, author Kevin Morgan stumbled upon an envelope containing critical evidence: hair samples. During the trial the prosecution claimed hairs found on Ross's blanket matched a sample of Alma's hair. This was the first time such forensic evidence brought a conviction in Australia. Re-examination by modern-day experts has proven the hairs do not match ... Gun Alley is the riveting story of how botched policework, trial by media and lynch-law hysteria spawned a staggering conspiracy to convict and hang an innocent man, and reveals for the first time the vital clues-missed in the original investigation-that point, more than 90 years on, to the true killer. Now updated, this edition documents the extraordinary events leading to the historic pardon and charts the aftermath for the Ross and Tirtschke families as a hanged man's body is recovered from an unmarked prison grave ... ‘Gun Alley is a masterwork of forensic detection.' - Ian Jones ‘This is a winner ... a book written from the heart ...' - Kerry Greenwood
Download or read book Rats Alley written by Peter Chasseaud and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published in 2006, Rats Alley was a ground-breaking piece of research, the first-ever study of trench names of the Western Front. Now, in this fully updated and revised second edition, the gazetteer has been extended to well over 20,000 trench names, complete with map references – in itself an essential tool for any First World War researcher. However, combined with the finely considered history and analysis of trench naming during the First World War, this is an edition that no military history enthusiast should be without. Discover when, how and why British trenches were first named and follow the names' fascinating development throughout the First World War, alongside details of French and German trench-naming practices. Looked at from both contemporary and modern points of view, the names reveal the full horror of trench warfare and throw an extraordinary sidelight on the cultural life of the period, and the landscape and battles of the Western Front. Names such as Lovers Lane, Idiot Corner, Cyanide Trench, Crazy Redoubt, Doleful Post, Furies Trench, Peril Avenue, Lunatic Sap and Gangrene Alley can be placed in context. With useful information on where original trench maps are held, and how to obtain copies, Rats Alley is a vital volume for both military and family historians.
