Ex-Lax, America's largest selling laxative, and... How do you do? This is Clive Brooke. Here is the story of Charles Peace, musician and murderer. Oh, in Manchester, England, a man named William Haffron was on trial for the murder of Peace Constable Nicholas Cox.

The jury were out considering their verdict, and in the court itself the usual debates were raging as to what that verdict would be. Look, Mr. I don't know you, I'm afraid, but what would you say to a little bet on verdict?

I say this, my name, and it will get off. Oh, take your bet with great pleasure. I think and I hope that he'll hang. Right. Five shillings. Make it turn. I'll give you three to one.

Don't with you, sir. A big pardon, but what makes this issue? I've never heard such a flimsy lot of evidence. Just because he was heard threatening the policeman the day before, and just because he's boot-up and to fit that mark left in the murder.

Those aren't the things that matter to me. A man looks like a murderer, and I think the jury are convinced. Do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty of the murder The peace constable cock on the 27th of July last.

We find him guilty. It was odd that the winner of the bet should have been so positive of Happaren's guilt, for he was the one man in England who knew that Happaren was innocent. He knew this because he himself, it was, who had shot and killed the policeman three months previously.
