Abraham Prescott was convicted of the murder of Sally Cochran following two separate highly publicized trials held in Concord New Hampshire in September 1834 and September 1835. Despite a robust and well-crafted insanity defense mounted by his counsel Prescott was sentenced to death. Originally scheduled to be hanged in Hopkinton New Hampshire on December 23 1835 his execution was delayed and he was ultimately executed on January 6 1836. This rare broadside features a verse account that explicitly frames the murder as a crime of passion capturing the sensationalized public sentiment of the era: "Oh! lust accursed lust! 'twas this / For which I did the deed; / Forfeiting heaven and life and bliss / Forfeiting all I need."

1824BB056Murder Trial<br /><br />Account of the Murder of the late Mr William Weare . the coroner's inquest the trials of the prisoners and the execution. By George Henry Jones.<br /><br />London 1824.<br /><br />With 3 landscapes 2 folding plates finely lithographed by C J Hullmandel.<br /><br />8vo iv344pp; half-leather marbled boards spine label "Thurtell's Trial" lightly scuffed very solid and clean throughout.<br /><br />First edition.<br /><br />William Weare was a solicitor of Lyon's Inn and a gambler. His killer was John Thurtell 1794–1824 a sports promoter amateur boxer a former Royal Marine officer and a son of the Mayor of Norwich. Thurtell owed Weare a gambling debt of £300 an immense sum at the time equivalent to £24500 in 20151. Thurtell believed Weare had cheated him of the money. Whatever the truth when Weare demanded payment Thurtell murdered him rather than pay up. He invited Weare to join him and his friends – Joseph Hunt a tavern landlord and William Probert a former convict and alcohol merchant – for a weekend of gambling at Probert's cottage at the site of Oaks Close off Gills Hill Lane subsequently popularly known as Murder Lane23 Radlett. On 24 October 1823 they journeyed from London in Thurtell's horse-drawn gig but Weare was killed in a dark lane just short of their destination. The gruesome and callous events created such public sensation that it attracted numerous ballads and theatre shows at the time along with comment by the essayist Babington Macaulay and the crime used variously in the work of Sir Walter Scott William Hazllitt and Robert Louis Stevenson. After the trial one of the accused was hanged and another Joseph Hunt was transported to Botany Bay Australia.<br /><br />Charles Joseph Hullmandel 1789–1850 studied art and printmaking and is considered amongst the most important figures in the development of British lithography. He developed a method for reproducing gradations in tones and for creating the effect of soft color washes which enabled the reproduction of Romantic landscape paintings of the type made popular by J. M. W. Turner. Hullmandel's essay <i>The Art of Drawing on Stone</i> 1824 was an important handbook of lithography issued the same year as this account of the trial.<br />
