Confessions of Lynch the Murderer
Well, here's another garden variety arsehole; convicted of one murder Burns confessed to the hangman he'd killed seven more people.
Why confess to the hangman? Is it an attempt to impress a bloke who's paid to kill people for the government?

His victims were
Arthur Preston
Charles Burgess
