Author: Leslie, Lawrence
Date: March 4, 1878
First Sentence: One of the most singular cases in the whole range of criminal jurisprudence is that of the arrest, confession, and execution of John Perry, his mother, and brother, in 1760, for the murder of a man, who, it afterward appeared, was not murdered at all, or even assaulted.
Last Sentence: No farther information was ever obtained, and the case now ranks as one of the most curious in criminal history.
