Own Children
It was the morning Of the ex-
tention. The Jailers waited im-
patiently as the murderees,
brushed and re-brushed her long
dark tresses in front of a hand
Mirror.
"The hangman must not find
me untidy and ueattractive," she
simPered, For even to the end
Mary Cotton was vain about her
looks—a beauty that had brought
death to se many men,
A hundred years have passed
since this evil poisoner exerted
her terrible sway over men and
children, dealing out death as
easily as a normal woman would
give way to an outburst of tem-
per.
Mary was the pretty daughter
of a Durham miner in the vil-
lage of Rainton, near Sunderland.
Her father died when she, was
fourteen, and a wealthy family
at near-by South Hetton offered
the girl a job as a maid, But her
mother had meanwhile started a
school. It was so successful that
she invited her daughter to re-
turn to teach the infants.
Mary had a way with her pu-
pils. They loved her and, accus-
tomed to harsh conditions, ac-
cepted her, severe punishments
for inattention or misbehaviour
without complaint.
Then Many begah Courting. At
twenty, she married Bill Mow-
bray,. who worked as a farm la-
tourer or a miner and sometimes
at sea. Mary bore hiin four chil-
dren.
They all died from a painful
gastric complaint. Later, Bill also
died, screaming in agony in his
last moments.
The pretty young widow claim-
ed that she was inconsolable. But
she no longer had to work. In-
surance money from the policies
on her children and husband had
left her comfortably off.
Mary could have sat back and
done nothing, but instead she be-
camea nurse in the infectious
diseases department of Sunder-
land Infirmary. Everyone there
talked about her ceaseless activ-
ity on behalf of the sick, especi-
ally in the men's wards.
One patient, handsome George
Ward, married her as soon as he
left, hospital. He died suddenly a
few weeks later. Mary sold his
possessions, drew the insurance
money and went off to the sea-
side to assuage her grief.
Back in Sunderland, she took
lodgings next to a house where a
widower called James. Robinson
was struggling to look after his
four motherless children.
"Those poor bairns need a
woman's care," Mary told him.
"And you have a right to a good
meal when you come home."
James was flattered that a
young and pretty woman should
hint so strongly at marriage. He
-proposed, and they were married
in the summer of 1867.
Christmas that year was a
mournful occasion in the Robin-
son household. A few days before
the festivities, the last of the four
children died. In the spring; Mary
gave birth to a little girl, but she
too' died suddenly.
James Robinson seems to'have
been quite unsuspicious of foul
play. But he had a violent quar-
rel with his wife over some miss-ing money. Then she left him.
After a number of situations„
as a nurse or servant, where
money was always missing before
she hastily 'decamped, Mary de-
cided to settle in the smelt min-
ing village of Walbottle.
Once again, she selected lodg-
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
Old John Stew received his
new quill pen as usual this year.
Every April for more than a00
years the Lord Mayor of Lon-
don has placed a new pen in
the hand of the quaint marble
and alabaster monument to this
famOus historian of London.
It is in the church of St. An-
drew Undershaft, off Leaden,
hall Street, where Stow was
buried following his death on
April 5th, 1605, His widow erect-
ed it as a memorial to her
tailor-husband whose passion
for antiquarian research made
him the world's great authority
on London and its history, Ir
shows him writing a book,
This lean man with small
bright eyes and a cheerful coun-
tenance walked hundreds of
miles — he could never afford
a horse — for many years col-
lecting and transcribing ancient
documents and delving into Lon-
don't fascinating past.
But his findings, published in
"A Survey of London” in 1598,
were, in effect, a "short cut" for
people who wanted to learn
about London during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth I.
Some experts think Stow'
probebly knew Shakespeare. or
at, least passed' him often in the'
etreeis, He 'certainly knew BO
,MU'S* who relates how die
day' he and Stow met two trip- •
pled beggars. Stow asked them
what they would take to accept
him as one of their order.
At the age of eighty Stow
actually received as an acknow-
ledgement of his public services
the royal' licence td beg for
twelve months. He is said , to
have "set up basins for alms'
in the streets of the London he
loved, but the citizens gave him
very little and he died in pov-.
erty.

marriage, she accepted,
Blithely, she stipulated that the
ceremony' should take place at
St. Andrews, Newcastle — the

Bill Mowbray eight years earlier.
The fact that her third husband,

Fred Cotton agreed and got a

On the first day after the re-

Slippery' Crooks
There's no end to the tricks
devised by crooks. Some ,are
simple tricks like that of the
woman shoptilter who sneezed
into her handkerchief every
time she stole an article.' Any-
one watching her naturally
looked at' the hand with the
,handkerchief — they didn't _
,see that the other hand was
thieving. -
Another device for. distracting
attention led to the escape of a
man from police'custody recent-
ly. As prisoners were filing out
to a police van in the station
yard one of them collapsed in
an apparent faint. While the jail-
' er's attention was distracted,
another prisoner escaped.
Some Polish crooks crept into
a police station one night, re-
moved all the boots they could
find and left the police snoring
peacefully. Then they carried
out- a series of burglaries, but
when the alarm was given the
police took so long to' find the
footvvare• that the thieves got
away.
An English burglar's method
was to strew carpet tacks round
the beds of his sleeping vic-
tims in case anyone woke up
and decided-to chase him.
