by Robert Smith.
Starring
On 20 January 1931 Julia Wallace was battered to death with an iron bar. Although no motive was established, William Wallace was found guilty of his wife's murder and sentenced to hang.
Did he know of his wife's flirtation? What was Gordon Parry's motive? Was he a charmer or a killer? Fifty years of research and revelations still leave this as the nonpareil of real-life murder mysteries.
