William Palmer (1824-56) was an English doctor found guilty of murder in one of the most notorious cases of the 19th century. Palmer was also known as the "Prince of Poisoners," and was called "the greatest villain that ever stood in the Old Bailey" by Charles Dickens. In 1856, Palmer was convicted of murdering his friend John Cook by strychnine poisoning in 1855. He was also suspect of poisoning his brother, his mother-in-law, and four of his children. Palmer's trial was a great spectacle that was covered by all of the newspapers of the day. He was represented by Mr. Serjeant William Shee and prosecuted by Alexander Cockburn and John Walter Huddleston, before Judge John Campbell, 1st Baron Campbell. After his conviction, Palmer was executed by hanging on June 14, 1856 at Stafford Prison. Scholars dispute whether the evidence was sufficient to convict Palmer and whether the court's summation was prejudicial.In 1958, Folkways Records released this dramatization of the trial as a 2xLP set. The trial transcript was edited and abridged by Bernard Rosenberg of the New York Bar. Rosenberg's script was adapted and directed by Wallace House, and performed by Eric House, Wendy Carter, Kenneth Buckridge, and Wallace House.
