Hardback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 1937. First edition. xvi, 284pp. and 172 black and white illustrations. Buck Ruxton (1899-1936) was an Indian-born physician convicted and subsequently hanged for the September 1935 murders of his common-law wife, Isabella Ruxton, and the family housemaid, Mary Jane Rogerson, at his home in Lancaster. The case became known as the "Bodies Under the Bridge" due to the location, near the Dumfriesshire town of Moffat in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, where the bodies were found. The case was also called the "Jigsaw Murders" because of the painstaking efforts to re-assemble and identify the victims and determine the place of their murder. Ruxton himself earned the title of "The Savage Surgeon" due to his occupation and the extensive mutilation he inflicted upon his victims' bodies. This volume deals with the medico-legal and other scientific aspects of the case, and was undertaken in response to numerous requests from members of th medical and legal professions and from officers of police forces at home and abroad. it is intended for those professionally interested in methods employed in the preparation of medical and other technical evidence.
