Jack o' Lantern by 8660267|George Goodchild book cover

📘 Jack o' Lantern
 by George Goodchild

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 verdict—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.
