Book Description Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Hardback, 1st edn. On July 13, 1955 Ruth Ellis was taken to a place of execution and there suffered death by hanging. The jury, which had only taken 23 minutes to find her guilty, made no recommendation for mercy. The judge said that no other verdict was possible. Her lawyers decided to make no appeal. With death hours away, only the Home Secretary could have saved her from the gallows. He didn't. What sort of killing was this? It was a fierce, white-hot murder. Ruth Ellis fired 6 shots at her lover. One deadly wound resulted from the muzzle of the gun being held within 3" of the dying man's body. The Ruth Ellis case undoubtedly gave great impetus to the anti-capital punishment lobby, so wide was the revulsion amongst ordinary people at her execution for a crime of passion. Illus. + small Bibliog. 178pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in Vg+ dw. which is sl. chipped at head of sp. Seller Inventory # 1865
