Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Department of Police Service of Worcester, Mass;, From 1674 to 1900: Historical and Biographical Grave and Pious Matoonus of the Nipmuck Tribe the Original Constable - Clothed with Authority of the Crown, He Inspires King Philip's War - Early Settlement of Quinsigamond and First Constables The Beat of the Constable Along the Blackstone Canal - Work of Thief-Detecting Association. The story of the Worcester Police Department is a story of upbuilding and maintenance of the strong right arm of the law as the tiny village of more than two centuries ago has grown to be a thriving city of 120,000 souls in the last year of the nineteenth century. This story has never been adequately told, yet it furnishes interest, pathos, courage, heroism and sensation enough to fill many volumes. In reviewing the history of the Worcester police for 226 years, this volume can tell but briefly, yet with an attempt at completeness, of the history of the department which is closely interwoven with the history of the city, and must have more than a passing attraction for every citizen of the Heart of the Commonwealth. The character and duties of the police can only be gathered from the customs, opinions and tastes of the people - the nature of events and the peculiar condition of things. It is a bird's-eye view of the character of the times, the police regulation of the laws, and here and there an inkling of the civil and criminal jurisprudence. Nothing but facts are dealt with here. Police departments recognize nothing but facts, and the record of a department is a record of nothing but facts. In the town's earliest days, it is true, the original policemen are shrouded almost in mystery, yet it is the mystery that shrouds the commonplace which people of the time think not worth recording, until it is too late for absolute verification of exact dates and names.

Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
A century of Boston’s thrill killers, psychos, and fiends—notorious in their day, now nearly forgotten—from the Antebellum era through the 1970s. The Boston Strangler may be the most infamous serial killer in Massachusetts history, but his crimes pale in comparison with the carnage of those profiled in this chilling compendium. Covering a century the city’s heinous past, journalist Christopher Daley reveals nine of the most sensational cases that once made headlines across the country: Kenneth Harrison, aka “The Giggler” whose random victims ranged from children to men to an elderly woman he tossed over the Broadway Bridge, just for fun; upstanding Albert Tirrell, who claimed he was sleepwalking when he slit the throat of his mistress, prostitute Maria Bickford, and set her on fire; Jesse Pomeroy, a natural-born sadist and, at fourteen, the youngest convicted serial killer in the annals of American crime. Here too are the shocking tales of the Bussey Woods murders, the Barrel Butcher, the Boston Skull Cracker, and more. Featuring rare photographs, as well as maps to extant crime scenes, Murder & Mayhem in Boston is a must for true crime aficionados.
