I would like to thank the following for the invaluable assistance they provided during the research of the cases featured in this book:
Roy Anderson; Suzy Blake of Staffordshire County Council; Kenneth Harry Bletcher; Hilary Brookes-Pollard; Deirdre Buck from Sheffield Local Studies Library; Clyde Dissington of the Magic Attic, a local history group based in Swadlincote; Ruth Gordon of Derbyshire County Council; Don Hale; Ann Krawszic from Chesterfield Local Studies Library; Tom Martin; Alan Moss of History by the Yard; Vicki Schofield, artist; David Clifford Taylor; Nick Tomlinson of Picture the Past; David Tummon of Sheffield Bus Museum Trust Limited; Paul Williams of Murder Files; staff from Burton Library Local Studies; Nottingham Local Studies Library; and Leicestershire Records Office.
I would also like to thank the numerous newspapers and magazines across the region for printing my appeals for information, but most notably the Mansfield Chad, Nottingham Evening Post, Derby Evening Telegraph, the Leicester Mercury and War Times magazine.
There are a number of people who have proved to have been of tremendous value in my research who have requested that they should not be named. To those, who know who they are, I extend my appreciation. Many of these include relatives of the victims and also relatives of suspects. I have been amazed at the level of interest that my appeals have generated, especially in the case of Samuel Fell Wilson where many current and former residents of Market Warsop have provided me with new information.
Countless numbers of people from local studies libraries and newspaper companies who tried searching, without success, for newspaper articles on my behalf. My thanks are extended to them all.
Finally, and most importantly of all, I would like to thank Brian Elliott and the staff at Wharncliffe Books for bringing this book to life.

T house drinking in the Bulls Head were both amused and bemused by the strangely dressed man who had arrived in the small Derbyshire town of Swadlincote during the cold evening of 28 November 1908.
With his old boots, baggy trousers, wide-brimmed slouch hat, his jacket so long that it was just above the knees, the five foot eight, slim-built, clean-shaven stranger who had dark, shoulder-length hair, cut an unusual figure and those who caught sight of him could not fail to stare with curiosity at the newcomer. Carrying his entire possessions in a wooden box and small sack, the man was a strange sight as he approached the bar.
If the mans clothing did not gain their attention then his behaviour, which followed his entrance, most certainly did.
After a glass he had brought with him had been filled, the stranger lifted it off the bar with his lips before taking it into his mouth, lifting his head back and placing it back on the bar, its contents still present. He then produced a number of eggs, seemingly from nowhere, and proceeded to juggle them, introducing billiard balls to further confuse his spectators.
The strange character had, it later emerged, displayed his talents to small crowds in several pubs in the south of the county of Derbyshire for at least a week. He would visit a number of public houses in one village, sleep rough overnight, often in industrial buildings, if he could not find anywhere cheap to stay and then move on to another village the following day. At each pub he would perform the same tricks, engage in banter with the locals and then gratefully receive any money given in a collection from his audience.
After entertaining the bemused drinkers, the surreal nature of the mystery mans activities, having no doubt been made more so by the ale they had been drinking, the man bade his engrossed audience goodbye before leaving the inn. He returned, however, a few minutes later after eleven to order a bottle of ale, but was refused by the landlord, Edward Wood, because the call had already been given for last orders. Frustrated, the entertainer left for the last time and made his way to George Waltons fish and chip cart, located near Coppice Side, to buy his supper.
