My next scheduled talk is to the Ackworth and District Heritage Group on 'The Pontefract Murder'.
This is not as gruesome as it sounds but tells the story of how, in 1918, two soldiers, Cardwell and Barrett, conspired to rob a jeweler's shop in Pontefract and in so doing killed the shopkeeper.
It was a crime that attracted national interest being reported in newspapers as far apart as Bristol and Aberdeen.
What is most surprising is, in an age before mass communication, they were captured in London within four days of the robbery and murder and executed together just four months later - justice was not only severe, but swift.
Like all my talks it is well illustrated and I can also, time permitting, compare this crime with how it might be dealt with today, and examine how the law has changed in 99 years.
