## Caption

In 1914, Margaret Lofty made a will leaving everything to her new husband — and hours later, she was dead in the bath.

She wasn’t the first. Bessie Mundy drowned in her bath in Herne Bay in 1912. Alice Burnham drowned in hers in Blackpool in 1913. Both were married to the same man, using a different name each time. Both inquests called it an accident.

No official connected them. Alice’s father did, after reading about Margaret’s death in the paper.

In 1915, George Joseph Smith was convicted in twenty minutes, and hanged.

Send this to the friend who always spots what everyone else misses.
