Shire Hall, Worcester. (Author’s collection)

The police surgeon gave his evidence concerning the post-mortem. Cross-examined by the counsel for the defence, he said the injury to the deceased woman’s left temple might have been caused by her falling on some loose bricks in the wash house. He also agreed with the defence counsel that ‘bad spirits’, taken by someone who had suffered privation, might make a man not master of his own actions.

Mr Cowper, in addressing the jury, said four distinct attacks on Mrs Hewett over the weekend had been proved. There could be no doubt that she had died through the maltreatment of the prisoner, and there was nothing in the circumstances which would justify the jury in returning any verdict except that of wilful murder.
