The Regent's Park Murder
1902. Reprinted in The Old Man In the Corner, Greening & Co., 1909.
At last it was another policeman, F 22, who, turning into Park Square West from the north side, almost stumbled upon the body of a man lying on the pavement with his head against the railings of the Square
The culprit, on the foggy night of 6th February 1907, turns out to be 'young John Ashley, who is the son of a very worthy country gentleman who is Master of Foxhounds somewhere in the Midlands'. Evidence of the brutalizing effect of blood sports?
