The Agony of Murder is a book written by John Davis, who was a prisoner awaiting execution in 1859. It is a first-hand account of his experiences and emotions during his time on death row. Davis describes the fear and despair he felt as he awaited his impending execution, and the psychological toll it took on him. He also reflects on his past actions that led him to this point and expresses remorse for his crimes. The book provides insight into the mental and emotional struggles of those facing the death penalty, and raises questions about the morality and effectiveness of capital punishment. Overall, The Agony of Murder is a poignant and thought-provoking account of one man’s experience with the ultimate punishment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
