Excerpt from Captain Shannon The year 18 - will be memorable for the perpetration in England and in Ireland of a series of infamously diabolical outrages. On the scene of each crime was found - sometimes scrawled in plain rough capitals upon a piece of paper which was pinned to the body of a victim, sometimes rudely chalked in the same lettering upon a door or wall - this inscription - "By order. - Captain Shannon." Who Captain Shannon was the police failed entirely to discover, although the counties in which the crimes occurred were scoured from end to end, and every person who was known to have been in the neighbourhood was subjected to the severest examination.
