1 Guilty and the Innocent: My Fifty Years at the Old Bailey 1957

handle is hein.beal/gtinnct0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE GUILTY AND THE INNOCENT In this remarkable book William Bixley, for fifty years a supervisory official of the Central Criminal Court, tells the tempestuous story of the Old Bailey. He describes the horrifying tortures and punishments of the Court's early history, recalls outstanding scenes from the past, and then devotes the main body of his book to his personal memories of the most sensational trials of this century. Mur- derers, gangsters, financial tricksters, arsonists, spies judged in the secret trials of both World Wars, sexual sadists-he saw them all in their struggles for life or death. In taking the reader behind the scenes, into chambers where the public is forbidden, and into a proximity with the greatest advocates of our time which no ordinary person can ever achieve, the tense drama of these court room battles is brought enthrallingly alive. No thrillers of fiction can match the extraordinary cases that have taken place inside Old Bailey, and few people have been in such a privileged position to witness them as William Bixley.
