Excerpt from Trial of Franz Muller The present report of the trial of Franz Müller is taken from that published in the Daily Telegraph, which has been carefully collated with the report of the evidence as given in the "Central Criminal Court Sessions Paper, " vol. lix., part 360. There is a fairly full report of the trial, and the summing up of the Lord Chief Baron in the "Annual Register" for 1864, vol. cvi. References to Müller's case will be found in Major Arthur Griffiths' "Chronicles in Newgate, " vol. ii., pp. 417 and 448, and Mysteries of Police and Crime, vol. i., p. 402.The murder of Mr. Briggs and other railway outrages are dealt with in volume ii., chapter 25, of Pendleton's "Our Railways" (1896). There is an account of Muller in a little volume, "Celebrated Crimes and Criminals, " published in 1890, under the signature "W. M." I am at liberty to divulge the fact that "W. M." is my friend Mr. Willoughby Maycock, C. M. G., and to his kindness I owe the copy of the correspondence given in Appendix IV. relating to Müller's confession on the scaffold. I am indebted to the courtesy of friends in preparing the illustrations for this volume, to Mr. Ernest Pollock, K.C., M.P., for helping me to obtain a photograph of Chief Baron Pollock, to the Hon. Malcolm Nacnaghten, who kindly got me Lord Macnaghten's permission to have the portrait of Baron Martin photographed for this volume, to Judge Parry for lending me a photograph of his father, and to Mr. Hairy Furniss for his sketch of the "Muller hat." I would thank, too, the Hon. John Collier for his courtesy in allowing me the use of a photograph of his father, Lord Monkswell, for reproduction, and Professor Harvey Littlejohn, of Edinburgh, who has permitted the reproduction of the police bill for the apprehension of Lefroy. The account of Dickman's trial has been taken from the Newcastle Daily Chronicle reports of the various proceedings in the case.
