Title A name given to the resource John Rathbone Oliver Criminological Collection Description An account of the resource John Rathbone Oliver (1872-1943), Harvard graduate, priest, classical scholar, and physician specializing in psychiatry, was the Chief Medical Officer to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore from 1917 until 1930 and professor of the history of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical School, from 1927 until 1938. Oliver was a great-grandson of the brother-in-law of the murdered physician George Parkman (1790-1849) and to this fact he attributed his initial interest in criminology and criminal psychiatry. In his 1929 autobiography, Foursquare, Oliver says of his collection, “It has grown into a mass of printed and written material—books and pamphlets and autographs—that cover three sides of my largest room…. There is, I believe, no important English or American trial which is not represented in this collection of mine, for the sake of which I have squandered my earnings and have borne the burden of indebtedness to booksellers in almost all parts of the world. And inasmuch as human inventiveness is very limited, a knowledge of what this collection of mine contains makes even the cleverest crime story of to-day seem dull, and shows up the record of every new murder as an old tale already many times told.” The Oliver Criminological Collection covers the late 17th century through the early 1930s and includes trial transcripts, rare pamphlets, broadside ballads, newspaper clippings, journal extracts, prints and engravings, and ephemera dealing with murder cases, executions, prisons, and criminal behavior, generally. Dr. Oliver donated his collection to Harvard to form a key historical component of the Magrath Library of Legal Medicine in 1936. Still Image A static visual representation.

Orton, a butcher in Wagga Wagga, Australia, claimed to be Sir Roger Tichborne, who had been presumed lost at sea in 1854. Although Lady Tichborne, some other family members, and associates—over one hundred individuals—accepted him and initially supported his claim, Orton lost an 1871 trial over the Tichborne inheritance.

Title A name given to the resource A copy of verses on the horrid murder of a little girl at Longden in Shropshire, by a man named Mapp Subject The topic of the resource Mapp, John Lewis, Catherine Woodcuts (prints) Description An account of the resource The John Rathbone Oliver Criminological Collection includes a number of popular English broadside ballads commemorating murders, rare trials, and executions as part of Oliver’s interest in psychiatry and criminal motivation. Catherine Lewis, a nine-year-old girl, disappeared on December 22, 1867; the next day her father found her, suffocated by a shawl and with her throat severed. A neighbor, John Mapp, was charged with the murder and convicted. On the morning before his execution, Mapp confessed to the crime: When I parted with Jane Richards at the Short Lane gate, Catherine Lewis and myself walked together for a few yards. I ketched hold of her hand, and she said, ‘Do you live by Edward Mason’s?’ and I said ‘Yes.’ When I had her by the hand she began to cry, and I believe she shouted out, but I am not quite sure. She ran to the gate and got over it—I suppose she was frightened at me. As she got over it I was close after her, and when I got over it the gate fell, but I did not fall. When I got up to her she was lying under the hedge, and I asked her to let me do something to her. She said she wouldn’t let me. She then told me she’d tell her father. She was crying. I said to her, ‘Well, if you tell your father I’ll cut your throat.’ I then pulled out my knife and I cut her throat. She was lying on the ground, and I was kneeling at her left side. I got up and wiped the knife with some grass, and then wiped it on her pinner. I then undid the shawl and put the brooch in my pocket, and then put the shawl in her mouth. I am not, however, quite certain whether I pushed the shawl into her mouth before I cut her throat or afterwards, but I did put it in. I then got up and turned her head round, and pulled her down the field by her right hand. She was not dead when I started with her, but she was quite dead before I got to the bottom of the field. I put her in the building where she was found. I think the mark on her forehead was caused by the heel of my boot touching her as I pulled her down the field. I did not strike her. I was very sorry after I done it. John Mapp was executed April 9, 1868—he was the last person to be publicly executed in Shropshire—just a month before the end of public executions in England.

Title A name given to the resource John Rathbone Oliver Criminological Collection Description An account of the resource John Rathbone Oliver (1872-1943), Harvard graduate, priest, classical scholar, and physician specializing in psychiatry, was the Chief Medical Officer to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore from 1917 until 1930 and professor of the history of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical School, from 1927 until 1938. Oliver was a great-grandson of the brother-in-law of the murdered physician George Parkman (1790-1849) and to this fact he attributed his initial interest in criminology and criminal psychiatry. In his 1929 autobiography, Foursquare, Oliver says of his collection, “It has grown into a mass of printed and written material—books and pamphlets and autographs—that cover three sides of my largest room…. There is, I believe, no important English or American trial which is not represented in this collection of mine, for the sake of which I have squandered my earnings and have borne the burden of indebtedness to booksellers in almost all parts of the world. And inasmuch as human inventiveness is very limited, a knowledge of what this collection of mine contains makes even the cleverest crime story of to-day seem dull, and shows up the record of every new murder as an old tale already many times told.” The Oliver Criminological Collection covers the late 17th century through the early 1930s and includes trial transcripts, rare pamphlets, broadside ballads, newspaper clippings, journal extracts, prints and engravings, and ephemera dealing with murder cases, executions, prisons, and criminal behavior, generally. Dr. Oliver donated his collection to Harvard to form a key historical component of the Magrath Library of Legal Medicine in 1936. Document A resource containing textual data.

Title A name given to the resource The Tichborne case in a nutshell Subject The topic of the resource Tichborne, Roger, Sir Orton, Arthur, 1834-1898 Pamphlets Description An account of the resource The Oliver Criminological Collection includes a substantial array of pamphlets, trial accounts, and popular ephemera from the sensational Tichborne Claimant case of the 1870s. Orton, a butcher in Wagga Wagga, Australia, claimed to be Sir Roger Tichborne, who had been presumed lost at sea in 1854. Although Lady Tichborne, some other family members, and associates—over one hundred individuals—accepted him and initially supported his claim, Orton lost an 1871 trial over the Tichborne inheritance. He was then arrested on a charge of perjury, and, after a second trial, was convicted in 1874 and served ten years in prison. He died, impoverished, in 1898. Abstract A summary of the resource.
