This is a volume in the publisher's 'Famous Trials' series. The general editor was George Dilnot (1883-1951), an English writer and novelist who specialized in crim…e novels and non-fiction criminology. It is an account of the trial of Norman Thorne (c.1902-1925), an English Sunday school teacher and chicken farmer who was convicted and hanged for what became known as the chicken run murder. Thorne murdered his fiancée Elsie Cameron (born 1898) on 5 December 1924 at his chicken farm in Crowborough, Sussex, and later dismembered and buried her body. The book is bound in the original dark purple cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling to the boards. The spine has faded to a light brown colour and there is lighter fading on the top 2 1/2" of both boards. The spine ends are lightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean with some foxing to the first and last few pages, including a few marks on the title-page. There is no inscription.
