The apprehension of the culprit is also interesting. Scotland Yard detectives took a steam ship to New York to get there before the sailing ship the murderer took flight on. Long arm of the law indeed.

What a claim to fame. A historical reminder not to visit Bow /s
I saw a programme about 2 weeks ago about that on the BBC very interesting. A bloke called Franz Muller was hanged for his murder.
[Here’s a short piece](https://open.substack.com/pub/timeworks/p/the-franz-muller-incident?r=2ljbzc&utm_medium=ios) about the transatlantic pursuit of the murderer
The first person that they know of*
We’ve been a violent hellhole for 160 years!
So he wasn’t murdered on a train. But died at home.
If he’s the first and someone is keeping count, what kinda figure we up to ?
What a British story. First murder on a railway in history- and the guy stopped at the pub on the way home!
History, Industry, Culture, Crime – got it all right here!
Couldn’t they have taken the plaque off the wall before painting? Lazy fkrs. What a mess.
I feel like if you didn’t die on the train, you weren’t murdered on a train.
