So after reading everything including the PDF by Phil Reader, what would verdict be? I think if I were a juror on this trial I would of voted no because of substantial evidence, there was no solid proof. But because the law was different and the times were different this man was hung and died 7 June 1895, after 2 trials. He declared his innocents all way to the gallows.
