When the hangman came to Galway : a gruesome true story of murder in Victorian Ireland
Ruxton, Dean2018
Books, Manuscripts
James Berry was the notorious hangman who ended the lives of over 100 criminals in Victorian Britain and Ireland. The job had its ups and downs - in particular, Irish assignments were Berry's pet hate. But, in January 1885, the prospect of hitting two birds with one stone was too good to pass up. Here, Dean Ruxton unravels the complex mind of the hangman as he sought to bring a conclusion to the case of two notorious murders in Galway.
