For those wishing to know: Thomas Bedworth (1764-1815) in a drunken rage 
murdered the Elizabeth Beesmore in 1815, fled London, but was haunted by 
visions of the dead woman, and eventually handed himself in, being 
hung for the murder in September 1815.  This wasn't quite written by him, 
but claims to be largely his confession on the night before his execution.

All the best,
David,
Overcast, windy and not too warm England
