Catherine Nairn was the central figure in one
of the most celebrated crimes of 18th century |
|
|
|
|
Scotland. She was charged and convicted of
incest and murder, but escaped from prison and |
|
|
|
fled abroad. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
following edited narrative is from William Jackson's "The New and
Complete Newgate |
|
|
|
|
Calendar;
or, villainy displayed in all its branches" [London, 1795]. This
publication should not |
|
|
|
be confused with the better-known "Newgate
Calendar." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'As
the case of these malefactors made a great noise in the world at and after
the commission |
|
|
|
of the crime, we shall be the more careful to
give all the particulars of it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At
East-Miln, in the county of Forfar in Scotland, lived Mr. Thomas Ogilvie, a
man of moderate |
|
|
|
fortune, whose life was of the domestic kind,
with his mother, till he was about forty years of |
|
|
|
age,
when he married Catherine, the beautiful daughter of Sir Thomas Nairn of
Dunsinan, on |
|
|
|
the 31st of January, 1765, the young lady being
then about 21 years of age. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Patrick
Ogilvie, the brother of Thomas, having served as a lieutenant in the East
Indies, |
|
|
|
|
returned to Scotland soon after the celebration
of the nuptials, and went to congratulate his |
|
|
|
brother on the occasion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From
this visit arose all that scene of distress which gives rise to the following
narrative; for |
|
|
|
Patrick
having beheld his sister[-in-law] with eyes of unwarrantable love, they were
seen |
|
|
|
|
within three weeks after the wedding, by the
servants, walking in the fields with too great |
|
|
|
|
familiarity, and kissing each other with all
the fondness of enraptured lovers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Soon
afterwards Anne Clarke, a kinswoman of Mr. Ogilvie, paying a visit in the
family, remarked |
|
|
|
a great intimacy between the lovers, who
frequently went to bed together without the |
|
|
|
|
precaution of shutting the chamber-door. Mrs.
Clarke remarked on the scandalous impropriety |
|
|
|
of her conduct; but, so far from blushing at
it, she boasted of her love for her brother-in-law, |
|
|
|
with
whom she said she would abscond, or otherwise give a dose to her husband,
whom she |
|
|
|
detested. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Ogilvie the elder was of so pacific a disposition, that, though the criminal
conversation |
|
|
|
|
[i.e. adultery] became every day more
conspicuous, he contented himself with representing to |
|
|
|
his
brother how much he dishonoured the family by so sinful a practice; but he
did not even |
|
|
|
forbid him the house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At
length he paid the lieutenant a sum of money bequeathed him by his father;
and then |
|
|
|
|
Patrick
departed, to take the diversions of the country; but he still corresponded
with his |
|
|
|
|
sister-in-law; and they left letters for each
under a stone, and even occasionally met |
|
|
|
|
together in the fields. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When
this was known, the injured husband, so far from resenting the conduct of his
brother, |
|
|
|
wrote to him, expressing his inclination to
bequeath him both his wife and the principal part |
|
|
|
|
of his estate, saying he would consult his own
peace of mind in retirement; he even intreated |
|
|
|
him to return, adding "my wife cannot be
happy without you." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mrs.
Nairn [i.e. Ogilvie - it was the practice in Scotland at that time for
married women to |
|
|
|
|
retain their maiden names] had, in the mean
time, written to Patrick Ogilvie, to send her some |
|
|
|
poison; and accordingly he sent her some white
arsenic, under the name of salts, for her use. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mrs.
Clarke above-mentioned no sooner heard that the packet was arrived, that she
cautioned |
|
|
|
Mr. Ogilvie not to drink any thing given him by
his wife, unless she first partook of it; but this |
|
|
|
precaution proved fruitless, for the unhappy
man being ill one morning, his wife conveyed a |
|
|
|
|
quantity of the arsenic into a basin of tea
which the maid-servant was carrying to him; and |
|
|
|
then the base woman waited at his bed-side
while he drank it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
most excruciating pains in his bowels, accompanied with a violent retching,
was the |
|
|
|
|
consequence of this draught, and at nine at
night Mr. Ogilvie expired in the greatest agony. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His
brother now gave directions respecting the funeral; but, in the mean time,
Mrs. Clarke |
|
|
|
|
wrote to a younger brother of the deceased, who
was then a student at Edinburgh, intimating |
|
|
|
her suspicions that Mr. Ogilvie had been
poisoned. Hereupon the young gentleman set out for |
|
|
|
East-Miln,
being determined to enquire into the real state of the case. He took with him
the |
|
|
|
under-sheriff of the county, and two surgeons.
The under-sheriff recommended opening the |
|
|
|
body of the deceased; but as he had been dead
for six days, and as it was now the middle |
|
|
|
|
of June, and the weather intensely hot, this
was opposed by the surgeons, lest some |
|
|
|
|
noisome effluvia should arise from the body. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
presumed murderers were now taken into custody, and committed to the prison
of |
|
|
|
|
Forfar, whence they were removed to Edinburgh,
to take their trials in the high court of |
|
|
|
|
justiciary. Mrs. Clarke had concealed herself
from the time that the murder was committed; |
|
|
|
|
but on the 3rd of April, 1765, she went to
Edinburgh, and surrendered herself to the lord |
|
|
|
|
advocate, as the trials of the offenders were
to commence on the Monday following. Hereupon |
|
|
|
his lordship committed her, and two
women-servants of the deceased, to the castle, that |
|
|
|
|
there might be no obstruction to the course of
public justice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
prisoners being brought into court on the appointed day, a copy of their
indictments, |
|
|
|
|
with a list of the jury and witnesses, was
respectively delivered to them; and then the court |
|
|
|
was adjourned to the 12th of the same month, at
eight in the morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[After an unsuccessful attempt was made to
separate Mrs. Clarke from the two servants, on |
|
|
|
the grounds that she might attempt to persuade
them to perjure themselves], 'the trial was at |
|
|
|
length
proceeded upon on Monday the 12th of August [1765], and continued
without |
|
|
|
|
intermission till three o'clock on the
Wednesday morning, when the jury retired, and at four in |
|
|
|
the afternoon of that day gave their verdict
that the prisoners were both guilty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
lord advocate now demanded that judgment should be passed on them; but this
was |
|
|
|
|
opposed
by their council, who urged that there were several informalities in the
trial, which |
|
|
|
would destroy the force of the verdict, as they
were incompatible with the principles of the |
|
|
|
|
laws of Scotland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
this a debate ensued, which continued near five hours; when the lord justice
clerk |
|
|
|
|
declared, that, unless a special plea was
stated in arrest of judgment, he would pronounce |
|
|
|
|
sentence against the prisoners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Hereupon
it was agreed, that, on the following day, at eleven o'clock, the arguments
in |
|
|
|
|
writing should be delivered into court; and
when that was done, a farther argument of six |
|
|
|
|
hours ensued thereon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
council for the prisoners, having at length no other plea left to urge,
hinted that Mrs. |
|
|
|
|
Nairn
was with child, but did not pretend to say how far she might be advanced in
her |
|
|
|
|
pregnancy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
this, the sentence of death was passed against Patrick Ogilvie, to be
executed on the |
|
|
|
|
25th of September, in the Grass-market,
Edinburgh; and Mrs. Nairn being remanded to prison, |
|
|
|
orders were given for a jury of matrons to be
summoned on the following day, to enquire |
|
|
|
|
into her real situation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
court being once more assembled, the matrons were sworn and retired, and, on
their |
|
|
|
|
return, declared they could not determine
whether she was pregnant or not. On this the |
|
|
|
|
judgment against her was suspended till
November; and the matrons were directed to visit |
|
|
|
|
her frequently in the interval. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Despite appeals being made on his behalf
before the king in council], 'Mr. Ogilvie was left |
|
|
|
|
to suffer the sentence of the law.' [Still
protesting his innocence] 'no sooner was he turned |
|
|
|
off, than, the rope slipping, he dropped to the
ground, but being immediately tied up again… |
|
|
|
he was executed….' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mrs.
Nairn having remained in custody till November, it then appeared that she was
pregnant; |
|
|
|
on which she was respited till the time when
she should be brought-to-bed, which was in the |
|
|
|
month of January, 1766. After she had been
delivered a month, an order was issued for her |
|
|
|
|
execution; but, a short time before this event
would have taken place, she escaped from the |
|
|
|
prison at nine at night, in the uniform of an
officer; and an old footman, who had lived in her |
|
|
|
father's
family, being waiting for her with a post-chaise, they set off together.'
[Other |
|
|
|
|
accounts have her escaping in the guise of her
midwife, her head completely muffled up, |
|
|
|
|
in the pretence of a violent attack of toothache.] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The escape occurred on 16 March 1766. By all
accounts, she fled to France, having received, |
|
|
|
it is alleged, great assistance from her
relative, William Nairne, who was later to become a |
|
|
|
|
Scottish Lord of Session under the title of
Lord Dunsinann and also the 5th baronet. Various |
|
|
|
stories
of her later life have her marrying a Dutchman and producing a large family,
or of |
|
|
|
|
'taking
the veil' and retiring into a convent. |

Sir Herbert Scarisbrick Naylor-Leyland, 1st
baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In an article published in the "Chicago
Daily Tribune" on 11 October 1903, it is stated that |
|
|
|
|
'the
late Sir Herbert Naylor Leyland was a good looking and popular man, but his
entire life |
|
|
|
|
was blighted by the fact that when a young
fellow of 18 he had the misfortune to kill his |
|
|
|
|
father by an accidental discharge of his gun
while out shooting with him, I believe somewhere |
|
|
|
on the coast of Syria.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The true facts were somewhat different,
however. Naylor-Leyland's father was indeed killed |
|
|
|
by the accidental discharge of a gun on 26
August 1886, when his son was aged 22, not 18, |
|
|
|
and the accident happened in Scotland, not
Syria. According to a report in "The Times" on |
|
|
|
|
30 August 1886 'on Thursday Colonel Naylor
Leyland met with his death by accident on |
|
|
|
|
Stathvaich moor, near Garve, Ross-shire. He was
out deer stalking with his son, and had shot |
|
|
|
one stag, when, seeing another within range, he
asked his son to hand him his rifle. When he |
|
|
|
was in the act of seizing the rifle it went
off. The ball struck him behind the ear completely |
|
|
|
|
shattering the side of his head. Death was
instantaneous.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a wonderful example of macabre humour,
Naylor-Leyland was subsequently known as |
|
|
|
|
"Bagdad". |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Naylor-Leyland sat in the House of Commons for
Colchester in the Unionist interest between the |
|
|
|
general
election in 1892 and early 1895, when he resigned. After the change of
government |
|
|
|
later
that year, he received a baronetcy in the Resignation Honours List. This
appointment |
|
|
|
|
created
something of a scandal when it was announced, given Naylor-Leyland's short
period of |
|
|
|
service in the Commons, together with his young
age of 31. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
newspapers of the day were savagely critical of the granting of this honour.
A selection of |
|
|
|
some
of the press comment is appended below, although it must be recognised that
some of |
|
|
|
the opinions expressed are obviously biased by
the politics of the various papers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Times - "There
is one appointment in the [resignation honours] list which we cannot help |
|
|
|
regarding as a scandal. It is nothing less than
a gross abuse of a prerogative of the Crown, |
|
|
|
|
which ought be be exercised by Ministers with
extreme caution, that Capt. Naylor-Leyland |
|
|
|
|
should be created a baronet. Capt.
Naylor-Leyland never did anything of which the public heard |
|
|
|
until he suddenly deserted the Unionist Party,
and by quitting his seat in Colchester at an |
|
|
|
|
inconvenient moment, deliberately threw the
representation of that borough into the hands of |
|
|
|
his Radical opponent. He has now undertaken to
oppose Mr. Curzon, one of the members of the |
|
|
|
Government, at Southport. Considering that down
to the time when he resigned his seat for |
|
|
|
Colchester, a few months ago, Capt.
Naylor-Leyland had never given any hint in public that |
|
|
|
|
the avowed opinion on which he had been elected
had been changed, it is not too much to say |
|
|
|
that such an apostasy, whatever reward it may
deserve from those who profit by it, ought not |
|
|
|
to be singled out for honour by the responsible
advisers to the Queen." |

The Daily Chronicle -"On
what conceivable principle, and for what conceivable service, has his |
|
|
|
honour been bestowed? We know the practice of
asking the Sovereign to recognise service |
|
|
|
|
of a purely party character, though it is open
to grave objection, and needs to be watched |
|
|
|
|
with great care. But what services has Captain
Naylor-Leyland rendered to the Liberal Party? |
|
|
|
We remember him in the days of the Home Rule
Bill delivering interminable and mainly obstructive |
|
|
|
speeches from his place before Mr. Balfour and
Mr. Carson. He has been nominally a Liberal for |
|
|
|
weeks.
He has, so far as we know, been a Tory for the rest of his life. Finally, he
is not a man |
|
|
|
of any especial intellectual distinction. We
can, indeed, see only one merit to this appointment, |
|
|
|
namely, that it discredits the whole system of
rewards for mere partisanship, and ought to |
|
|
|
|
strengthen the hands of the Queen in refusing
to sanction appointments which have no national |

or personal justification." |

The following article appeared in the very
obscure 'Queanbeyan Age' on 9 November 1909. |
|
|
|
|
Queanbeyan is a country town in New South
Wales, 15 km east of Canberra, although Canberra |
|
|
|
did not yet exist at the time of the
publication of this article. |

'Day
and night detectives are keeping watch and ward over two boys at Eton
College. The boys |
|
|
|
in question are Sir Albert Edward
Naylor-Leyland, Bart., aged 17, and his brother George Vivian, |
|
|
|
aged 15. The lads are heirs to an immense
fortune, and their relatives have got wind of a plot |
|
|
|
on
the part of certain designing persons to kidnap them. Hence the surveillance
of the |
|
|
|
|
detectives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
watch commenced about eight weeks ago, when an anonymous letter was received
by |
|
|
|
Lady Naylor-Leyland warning her that mischief
was afoot with regard to her sons. The latter |
|
|
|
are residents in Mr. R.S. De Havilland's house
in Keats lane, the young baronet having gone |
|
|
|
|
there
in 1904 and his brother in 1906. The boys do not move a yard without one of
the |
|
|
|
|
detectives moving with them. During working
hours one of them squats silently on the wall in |
|
|
|
front of the college chapel; when the boys go
to the playing-fields a silent watcher plods |
|
|
|
|
patiently after them, and when they are in bed
another one is waiting outside the house in |
|
|
|
|
Keats lane all through the night. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
De Havilland, the house-master, when seen by a pressman, said he was very
sorry that |
|
|
|
the news of the strange affair had leaked out,
as he was afraid that the publication of his |
|
|
|
|
pupils' names in the papers might cause their
removal from Eton, and to a certain extent |
|
|
|
|
spoil their careers. Another Eton master said
the boys were most popular with their school- |
|
|
|
|
fellows. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Several
curious things have happened at Eton recently which seem to bear on the
mystery. |
|
|
|
A few weeks ago a stranger was seen trying to
get into conversation with the twp brothers. |
|
|
|
After a time he succeeded in getting a few
minutes' conversation with the younger boy. Next |
|
|
|
day a man calling himself John Carter was
arrested in Mr. Lubbock's house at Eton and given |
|
|
|
a months' hard labour as a suspicious character. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
few days later another man, much better dressed than the first, was seen
trying to speak |
|
|
|
with Sir Albert Naylor-Leyland. In appearance
he was quite a gentleman, and after some |
|
|
|
|
persistence he succeeded in getting a long talk
with both the boys. A third man was seen |
|
|
|
|
loitering round near Mr. Havilland's house
about a week later, and, walking past Sir Arthur |
|
|
|
|
Naylor-Leyland,
whom he did not recognise, he spoke to the younger brother. Then the |
|
|
|
|
detectives came to Eton, and this man was not
seen again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An
army officer, who knows the family well, does not believe in the kidnapping
theory. He |
|
|
|
|
thinks that somebody is tyring to obtain money
by frightening the boys with some trumped-up |
|
|
|
story of the family. Lady Naylor-Leyland,
hearing of this, secured the services of the three |
|
|
|
|
detectives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Both
boys are heirs to big fortunes. Their mother, Lady Naylor-Leyland was, as
Miss Jennie |
|
|
|
|
Chamberlain of Ohio, famous for her wealth and
beauty. She married the late Sir Albert Naylor- |
|
|
|
Leyland in 1889. Sir Albert died in 1899. The
eldest boy, who has succeeded to the title, was |
|
|
|
born in 1890. He had the King as his godfather,
while the Duke of Cambridge and the Prince |
|
|
|
|
of Wales were sponsors for his brother George. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'One
of our representatives who called at Lady Naylor-Leyland's town house was
received by |
|
|
|
one of her ladyship's friends, who made the
following statement: - "In consequence of threats |
|
|
|
which were made against her sons Lady Leyland
put detectives to watch a strange man who |
|
|
|
had been seen about the grounds of Eton a short
time ago, behaving in a suspicious manner. |
|
|
|
Lady Leyland is naturally nervous, but wishes
the report that the boys are guarded to be |
|
|
|
|
contradicted." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Additional
interest is given to the affair by the fact that a cousin of the two boys -
Amelia |
|
|
|
|
Mary Chetwynd - was the victim of an
attempted kidnapping in Northumberland
Avenue, in |
|
|
|
|
November, 1905. In this case a Mr. Thomas
Duguid and Miss Hetty C. Quayle were charged |
|
|
|
|
with attempting
to kidnap Amelia Mary Chetwynd and her sister, the daughters of the
Hon. |
|
|
|
|
Richard
Walter and Mrs Chetwynd, from the lawful custody of Mr. C.J. Leyland, into
whose |
|
|
|
|
care the
children had been entrusted by their parents. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mrs
Chetwynd is a sister of the late Sir Herbert Naylor-Leyland, father of the
two boys now |
|
|
|
guarded
so closely at Eton. In this case a most elaborate scheme of kidnapping had
been |
|
|
|
|
prepared.
The children were to be taken by force upon a small steamer, and conveyed
from |
|
|
|
Beal, a small place on the Northumberland
coast, to San Sebastian, in Spain. The prosecuting |
|
|
|
counsel in the case stated that arrangements
had been made to tamper with any motor-cars |
|
|
|
that might be used to pursue the prisoners,
and, if necessary, even telegraph wires were to be |
|
|
|
cut. Legal proceedings dragged on from
November, 1905, until April, 1906, when the sentence |
|
|
|
of
9 months' imprisonment and a fine of £100 was passed upon Duguid. Miss Quayle
was |
|
|
|
|
acquitted. |

'Mr.
James Cudahy, the American millionaire, who is now in London, has taken the
greatest |
|
|
|
|
interest in the Naylor-Leyland case, because he
himself has suffered at the hands of |
|
|
|
|
kidnappers. Mr. Cudahy's little son was carried
off some time ago in America [then follows |
|

brief, but in places inaccurate report describing this kidnapping. For a more

Sir Alfred James Newton, 1st baronet [UK 1900] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 20 June 1921 Sir Alfred travelled by car
from his home to Harrods, of which company he was |
|
|
|
chairman of directors. During the journey he
appears to have drunk some indigestion medicine |
|
|
|
from a bottle, but he complained that it tasted
very bitter. Shortly after he collapsed in the car |
|
|
|
and
died before medical help arrived. When the contents of the bottle were
analysed, it was |
|
|
|
found that it contained a large dose of
strychnine, sufficient to kill many people. At the subseq- |
|
|
|
uent inquest, the jury found that Sir Alfred
had died from heart failure, accelerated by strychnine. |
|
|
|
The coroner pointed out that death could have
been due to an accident, to suicide or to murder. |
|
|
|
Whichever
it was, the case remains unsolved. The inquest was fully reported in the
"Daily |
|
|
|
|
Telegraph" on 22 July 1921:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Coroner's inquiry into the cause of the death on June 20 of Sir Alfred
Newton, chairman of |
|
|
|
Harrods Ltd., and Senior City Alderman, was
resumed at Chelsea yesterday, after being twice |
|
|
|
adjourned. Sir Alfred collapsed in his car at
the door of Harrods Stores after driving from his |
|
|
|
|
residence at Regent's Park, and in the earlier
inquest proceedings the fact was given in evidence |
|
|
|
by an analyst that he had found in a bottle of
medicine supplied to deceased sufficient strychnine |
|
|
|
to kill a considerable number of people. One
dose from the bottle had been taken. Medicine for |
|
|
|
indigestion dispensed at Harrods from the same
prescription, it was stated, had for some time |
|
|
|
been taken by Sir Alfred. The Coroner, Dr.
Oswald, consequently adjourned the inquest for the |
|
|
|
purpose of having the contents of the stomach
and other organs analysed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Curtis Bennett, who represented the relatives, replying to the Coroner, said
that he had a |
|
|
|
certificate from Sir Bruce Porter, who had
charge of the health of Lady Newton since 1907, |
|
|
|
|
which showed quite clearly that it would be
dangerous for her to be present. Sir Harry Newton |
|
|
|
[son and successor to the title] would tell the
court anything they might desire to know as to |
|
|
|
the terms on which Sir Alfred and Lady Newton lived. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Coroner: Someone thought it might be desirable to get Lady Newton here. The
certificate |
|
|
|
says it would be a great strain on her
precarious health, and might even be dangerous to her |
|
|
|
to have her here in the witness-box. Therefore
I shall excuse her attendance, and recall Sir |
|
|
|
Harry Newton to tell us what we would have
asked Lady Newton. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Harry Newton was then recalled , and said he had seen Lady Newton lately. It
was a fact |
|
|
|
that her health was in a precarious state. The
event had upset her terribly. The Coroner: I will |
|
|
|
ask you formally if the relations in the family
were of a happy nature? - I do not think there were |
|
|
|
ever man and woman who so loved each other. Do
you know if Lady Newton had seen anything |
|
|
|
of the bottle of medicine after its arrival at
the house? - She is not conscious of having seen it. |
|
|
|
She has no recollection of it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mrs.
Bertha Andrews, the dispenser who made up the medicine, recalled, said three
dispensers, |
|
|
|
a writer, the head of the department, and three
boys were employed in the dispensary. She |
|
|
|
could not remember how long it was before the
day of dispensing the medicine that she used |
|
|
|
strychnine. The dispensers never used each
other's scales. She did not often use strychnine, |
|
|
|
and it was generally used in solution form. The
solution was always ordered from a druggist. The |
|
|
|
Coroner: If used in powder form in any
quantities there would be a record of it? - Yes, it would be |
|
|
|
checked. We should not be allowed to touch it
without asking the head of a department. The |
|
|
|
reason I ask you is to find out if it would be
possible for any strychnine to have remained on the |
|
|
|
scales unnoticed, and for it to get mixed up
with the bismuth or bi-carbonate of soda? - I don't |
|
|
|
think so. Our scale plates are of glass, and we
wash them always after use. A quantity could not |
|
|
|
have escaped notice. Seventeen grains would
show up very well? - Yes, it would cover a half- |
|
|
|
crown. Would it be easy for anyone to abstract
strychnine from the dispensary? - I don't think |
|
|
|
anyone could get in without being seen. Locks
have since been put on the doors. There were |
|
|
|
none there at the time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Frederick
Fernandez Curtis, chemist, head of the dispensary, said that on the two days
previous |
|
|
|
to
the making up of the medicine no strychnine in any form had been used. On the
Wednesday - |
|
|
|
the third day before - a little was used, but
it was in solution form. He had never known of any |
|
|
|
strychnine
being left about in the dispensary, and did not think it possible. The
dispensers |
|
|
|
|
checked each other when taking poisons from the
cupboard. It would be difficult for anyone to |
|
|
|
abstract poison from the cupboard. It would be
possible, but most unlikely, as anyone going |
|
|
|
near it would be challenged immediately. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Professor
John Addyman Gardner, Reader in Chemistry at the University of London
and |
|
|
|
|
Toxicologist at St. George's Hospital, said
that he had analysed the contents of the bottle of |
|
|
|
medicine
and also the contents of the stomach and other organs. "In the
medicine," he said, |
|
|
|
"I found seven-tenths of a grain of
strychnine per ounce of mixture. It was in solution, and it had |
|
|
|
been partly precipitated by the bi-carbonate of
soda. There was about four-tenths of a grain |
|
|
|
per ounce in the fluid." The Coroner:
There would have been nearly seventeen grains in the full |
|
|
|
bottle? - Yes. Did you find any alcohol? - No.
I used three ounces for testing purposes, and |
|
|
|
could detect no alcohol beyond the faintest
trace. If a solution of strychnine had been used to |
|
|
|
make up the bottle you would have found
alcohol? - Certainly. In what form did you think the |
|
|
|
strychnine had gained access? - It must have
been in the form of strychnine hydro-chloride or |
|
|
|
crystal. A fatal dose of strychnine would be a
quarter of a grain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Witness
found four milligrains of strychnine in a pure state in the stomach, and in
the liver, |
|
|
|
although there was not sufficient to weigh,
there was a certain amount which gave the chemical |
|
|
|
and physiological tests in a well-marked
degree. There must have been one-tenth of a milligrain |
|
|
|
in half of the liver, and that would indicate a
considerable portion of the drug being present in |
|
|
|
the system - so much that there was no doubt as
to the cause of death, as it would be a |
|
|
|
|
poisonous quantity for a man in delicate
health. The Coroner: Even if the mixture had not been |
|
|
|
shaken nearly a grain would have been contained
in the double dose taken? - Yes. That would be |
|
|
|
sufficient to cause the death of a delicate
person with a weak heart? - Certainly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
Donaldson, who made the post-mortem examination, was recalled, and asked if
he had any |
|
|
|
doubt, in view of the evidence just given, as
to what caused death. Witness said that it was |
|
|
|
fairly clear that strychnine had played a part
in bringing about death, although there was no |
|
|
|
evidence of strychnine. Mr. Curtis Bennett: If
you had not known the evidence you would have |
|
|
|
been
prepared to certify that death was due to natural causes? - Certainly. There
were the |
|
|
|
same appearances as if death were due to
syncope - the question was what caused the syncope. |
|
|
|
Sir Alfred's physical condition was not good,
and his [remaining] life would have been a short one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Albert
Burton, divisional detective inspector, said he had made inquiries at
druggists' shops in a |
|
|
|
considerable
portion of London. Strychnine had been sold at three shops, the object of
the |
|
|
|
purchase
in all cases being to kill rats. Thirty grains were sold in two cases, and
five grains in |
|
|
|
the third. The names of the purchasers were
recorded, and they were known to the druggists. |
|
|
|
None of them was acquainted with Sir Alfred
Newton or the family, so far as he could ascertain, |
|
|
|
and had nothing to do with Harrods at all. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Addressing
the jury, the coroner referred to the case as a remarkable one. It was, he
said, one |
|
|
|
of the strangest cases with which he had to
deal for some time. As to the cause of death it |
|
|
|
was
one of the peculiarities of some of the alkaloid poisons that they produced
no irritant |
|
|
|
|
effect on the stomach that was visible to the
naked eye. It was possible that nothing would |
|
|
|
have been suspected about the strychnine had it
not been for Sir Harry Newton's promptitude |
|
|
|
in having the medicine analysed after hearing
that Sir Alfred had commented about its bitter |
|
|
|
taste.
Enough strychnine was found to constitute a fatal dose. There seemed to have
been |
|
|
|
enough in the bottle of medicine to have caused
the death of over sixty people. As to how the |
|
|
|
strychnine came to be in the bottle, the
coroner was sorry to say that they were up against a |
|
|
|
very stiff proposition. It was a misfortune
that all the evidence which he had been able to call |
|
|
|
would not help them to overcome it. The bottle
had had a number of wanderings, and had passed |
|
|
|
through many hands before it came to rest in
the hands of Sir Alfred. At the dispensary there |
|
|
|
was no failure in care and ability on the part
of the dispenser. There was a possibility that the |
|
|
|
bottle was tampered with while in the recess in
the despatch room, but it was not probable. All |
|
|
|
those through whose hands it had passed said it
did not appear to have been tampered with. |
|
|
|
They had to consider three things - was it
murder? Was it an accident? Was it suicide? If not, |
|
|
|
what was it? Suicide was highly absurd, and
they could leave it out of their consideration. Why |
|
|
|
should it be murder? He was a gentleman beloved
by his family and generally respected. Was it |
|
|
|
an accident? It probably was - that was by a
process of exclusion. It might have been introduced |
|
|
|
by
accidental means. There was accident that might be equivalent to
manslaughter, but there |
|
|
|
was no evidence of any neglect. There was no
evidence to show how the strychnine came to be |
|
|
|
present, and that was a blank wall against
which they found themselves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After
a short absence the jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was
caused by |
|
|
|
|
syncope, due to fatty and fibrous degeneration
of the heart, accelerated by strychnine poisoning. |
|
|
|
There was no evidence to show how the
strychnine came to be in the bottle of medicine, some |
|
|
|
of which was swallowed.' |

Sir John Norton-Griffiths was an engineer by
profession and governing director of Norton- |
|
|
|
|
Griffiths & Co. Limited, contractors, a
firm which carried out important engineering works in |
|
|
|
|
various parts of the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir John was in command of the Scouts in the
Matabele War of 1896, and later served in the |
|
|
|
South African Field Force, becoming captain and
adjutant of Lord Roberts's bodyguard. Between |
|
|
|
1910 and 1918 he sat as MP for Wednesbury, and
between 1918 and 1924 he sat for |
|
|
|
|
Wandsworth Central. At the outbreak of the
Great War, he raised the 2nd King Edward's Horse, |
|
|
|
and was subsequently attached to the staff of
the Engineer-in-Chief, G.H.Q., eventually being |
|
|
|
promoted to temporary lieutenant-colonel. It
was he who originated and initiated the layout of |
|
|
|
the
deep mines at Messines Ridge in a series of tunnels beneath the German lines,
in which |
|
|
|
|
were placed 455 tonnes of explosives. At 3.10
am on 7 June 1917, the mines were exploded |
|
|
|
causing the deaths of an estimated 10,000
German soldiers. It was reported that the explosion |
|
|
|
was heard in London. The Allied attack was a
complete success. Norton-Griffiths was also |
|
|
|
|
responsible for the destruction of the Romanian
oil-wells, thus denying the Germans much- |
|
|
|
|
needed fuel for their war effort. He was
knighted in 1917 and promoted to baronet in 1922. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although he never visited Australia, his firm
was responsible for many railway projects in NSW |
|
|
|
during the years 1915-1917. However, there was
considerable public disquiet regarding the |
|
|
|
|
undertaking of such costly public works during
war-time, and eventually the State government |
|
|
|
took over all such works, paying a reported
£350,000 in compensation for the cancellation of |
|
|
|
the various contracts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1930, Norton-Griffiths & Co. were
engaged by the Egyptian government to raise the height |
|
|
|
of the Aswan dam. After disputes had broken out
between the on-site engineers and the |
|
|
|
|
Egyptian government inspectors, Sir John went
to Egypt in an attempt to resolve the dispute, |
|
|
|
and
ordered all work to be suspended. |

'Sir
John Norton-Griffiths left the Casino Hotel at San Stefano [near Alexandria]
at 7.45 |
|
|
|
|
yesterday morning [i.e. 27 September], clad in
bathing costume and dressing-gown. He took a |
|
|
|
surf-boat and paddled out to sea, and after
cruising about for three-quarters of an hour |
|
|
|
|
returned to the hotel. A few minutes later he
went out again and paddled out to sea in his |
|
|
|
|
surf-boat. Shortly after, M. Pizzigalli, his
newly appointed agent for the work of heightening |
|
|
|
|
the Aswan dam, who is also staying at the
hotel, on looking out from his bedroom window, |
|
|
|
|
noticed that the surf-boat was floating
unoccupied, with a paddle floating some distance away. |
|
|
|
M. Pizzigalli informed the management, and a
boat was sent out. M. Pizzigalli and other |
|
|
|
|
observers then saw what might have been a man
swimming or floating; to this the boat was |
|
|
|
directed, and it was discovered to be the body
of Sir John with a pistol-bullet wound through |
|
|
|
the right temple, and a wound of exit above the
left ear. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
body was brought ashore and identified in the presence of the British
Consul....The Consul |
|
|
|
has sealed up Sir John's papers and belongings,
and the consular doctor made an autopsy |
|
|
|
|
which established that the wound had been
self-inflicted......Sir John during recent weeks had |
|
|
|
obviously
been suffering from extreme nervous strain, and his friends had felt anxiety
about |
|
|
|
him.' |

Sir Hugh Joseph Nugent, 4th baronet |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Sir Hugh died following a gun accident, aged
only 17. The following account is taken from 'The |
|
|
|
Bury and Norwich Post, and Suffolk Herald' of
27 October 1863:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
very sad occurrence took place in this parish [Stoke-by-Nayland] on Friday
last, Sir Hugh |
|
|
|
Nugent, Bart., a pupil of Mr. Wordsworth, of
Gifford's Hall, meeting with his death by a gun |
|
|
|
|
accident. It seem that the deceased gentleman,
who was only 18 years of age, went out with |
|
|
|
another of Mr. Wordsworth's pupils (a young
Spaniard named Jourequi), and that the former, in |
|
|
|
crossing a ditch, was handing his gun to his
friend, holding it by the muzzle, when one of the |
|
|
|
barrels exploded, and the charge entered his
side, inflicting a mortal wound. An inquest was |
|
|
|
held at Mr. Wordsworth's house on the following
day, before J. Greene, Esq., Deputy Coroner, |
|
|
|
and Adolphus O'Ryan, Gent., of
Stoke-by-Nayland, having been sworn to interpret, the |
|
|
|
|
following evidence was given:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Nicholas
Jourequi deposed: I am a Spaniard, and a pupil of Mr. Wordsworth, staying at
his |
|
|
|
|
house. Sir Hugh Nugent was also a pupil, and
was about 18 years of age. He had a gun of his |
|
|
|
own - one which he brought with him to this
house; it was a double-barrelled gun. He went |
|
|
|
|
out with this gun yesterday afternoon, and I
went with him. Sir Hugh loaded it just before going |
|
|
|
out. I had not a gun. We went together to a
ditch - there was a pole across the ditch, high |
|
|
|
above the water. I got over it astride. Sir
Hugh had the gun, and I advised him to go round; he |
|
|
|
was then trying to get over on his chest and
hands, moving from left to right. He asked me to |
|
|
|
take
the gun, and held it by the muzzle in handing it to me. I think the stock of
the gun |
|
|
|
|
touched the wood - one barrel immediately went
off, and wounded Sir Hugh in the right side, I |
|
|
|
was on the pole at the time. Sir Hugh
immediately fell, with his feet in the ditch and his body on |
|
|
|
the bank from which he was starting. He said
nothing - only made an exclamation, "Oh!' I asked |
|
|
|
him if he could walk with me: he said
"No." I tried to help him to get up - he said he could not. |
|
|
|
I then went for assistance, and asked some
workmen to help. As speedily as possible a cart |
|
|
|
was brought and he was put into it, but he died
just before arriving at the house. I did not |
|
|
|
|
hear him say anything as he came along. The
other barrel of the gun was loaded. There was no |
|
|
|
rail below the pole on which the feet could rest. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Thomas Harold Fenn, surgeon, of Nayland, deposed: About four o'clock
yesterday afternoon |
|
|
|
I saw the deceased, who was then dead, at Mr.
Wordsworth's house (Gifford's Hall). I examined |
|
|
|
the wound, a gunshot wound; it was on the right
side, penetrating between the 8th and 9th |
|
|
|
ribs. The charge passed through the whole
length of the liver and lodged in the spine. It was a |
|
|
|
hopelessly mortal wound - he could not have
lived more than a few minutes after receiving it. |
|
|
|
The wound is just at the side, and nearly horizontal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Jury returned a verdict, of "Accidental Death." |
