[Vwoolf] George Duckworth & Criminal Case Against Extortionist

[danelljones at bresnan.net]

I came across this interesting criminal case from 1908 in which a man named
Frederick Young was tried and convicted for extorting money from George
Duckworth and threatened (in a letter) to kill him.

 

I'm attaching a screenshot from the Old Bailey and the link here:
