THEY DIED BY A GUN

Hardback, 1st edn. Since it was established in our criminal courts in 1928 that the gun from which a particular bullet was fired can be accurately identified, the gun became more than just an instrument of murder. With the science of ballistics to bear its case, it is now a star witness. In this collection of 17 headline-making murder cases, the author spotlights the use of the gun in anger, in panic, in malice, and in self-defence. Includes Mme. Fahmy, Donald Merrett, Dr. Benjamin Knowles, Elvira Barney, Ruth Ellis, Craig and Bentley etc. Illus. plus Bibliog. With previous owner's personal b/plate on fpd o/w. Lightly browned pp, o/w Vg+ in in sl. sunned Vg. dw.
