Jack o' Lantern by 8660267|George Goodchild book cover

πŸ“˜ Jack o' Lantern

Who was Jack O' Lantern? To Scotland Yard he was one of the cleverest criminals ever to pit his wits against their relentless machinery for man-finding. To Judge Wallington, known as the harshest magistrate in all Europe, his name recalled the trial of Tobias Lantern whom he had sentenced to death years ago with the help of a third jury after two others, hypnotized by Lantern's evil stare, had failed to arrive at a verdictβ€”yet a man who had paid the supreme penalty for his crimes. To the English press Jack O' Lantern was the murderer of Richard Summers, Albert Gale, James Henling; all jurors who had convicted Tobias Lantern, and Sir Randolph Cantler, prosecuting attorney at the trial. Each new crime in all England was attributed to this amazing criminal.
