Little, William T.MareMagnum

The Tom Thomson Mystery

239 pages. "In 1956, nearly forty years after the death of Canadian artist, Tom Thomson, William T. Little and three companions set themselves to a macabre task. Ever since July 16, 1917, when the artist's badly decomposing body was found floating in the waters of Canoe Lake, controversey and conjecture hovered over the matter of how Tom Thomson really met his death. It was as a result of this prolonged uncertainty that the four men began digging in the little cemetery in Algonquin Park where Thomson was supposedly buried... On the one hand William Little has been able to give us a fuller understanding of both Thomson's personality and his instincts as a painter. On the other, he has amassed considerable evidence that suggests a murder, a suspect, and a motive." - from back cover. Gift greetings inside front cover and at foot of back flyleaf. Covers carefully preserved in glossy clear adhesive laminate. Tight and square with moderate wear. Sound copy. Book

The Trials of Henry Sanderson, for Shooting Wm. Carr, and Robt. Bamford, Adam Adie, and William Knight, for the Murder of John Timms, at Nottingham Lent Assizes, 1822; with some Particulars of their Lives, Behaviour, and Execution.

12mo (150 x 85 mm) 37, [1]pp., several leaves mounted on stubs, new boards. Henry Sanderson, Adam Adie and Robert Bamford, were for murder, on Friday, March 22, 1822. Sanderson was out shooting pheasants, when he was apprehended by William Carr, gamekeeper to Sir Thomas Wollaston White. While wrestling with the gun Carr was shot, but he lived just long enough to identify his assailant. Adie and Bamford underwent the penalty of the law for the murder of John Timms, aged 17. The three, along with William Knight, were out on the town, after they decided to go poaching but only just got passed Trent Bridge before it began to rain. They then abandoned their plan and went to the Three Horse Shoes public house. Here they argued who was to pay for the drink consumed, Timms, having treated them all in the afternoon, refused to pay more than his share. On the way home the three robbed Timms of his watch and three shillings in silver. Knight then knocked him down, and Adie threw him over the battlements of the bridge into the river Trent. Adie and Bamford were executed after Bamford confessed, but Knight could not be identified, and was consequently acquitted. NOT found on JISC or OCLC.
