Mugshots: William Marwood, the executioner

Here are the real William Marwood's eyes, one inert and the other cruel-seeming. And yet he was such a polite gentleman executioner. 

 

A man of science, he spent his career as execcutioner trying to quicken the 'dance of death' at the end of his hangman's rope. Then one day he was asked to hang one of his own acquaintances, a young woman he has been courting, and now accused of a horrific crime.

 

That woman of course was Catherine Lawler, better known as Kate Webster.
