There is a clear reason why John Ellis did what he did in the end if you look into the records from about 1918 onwards he had to execute at one stage almost one a day, there were some involved in the Irish situation, but if you look at the reason for the majority of death sentences passed another pattern is also there the local cost of WWI, girlfriends and wives were murdered by boyfriends, lovers and husbands for a load of different reasons, infidelity, divorce was not easy in 1918 so murders happened by both sexes, most in the method Ellis died himself, it was not your little spot of poison like Agatha Christie, in fact many of her stories she tells are out of The News of the World from major trials of which John Ellis was the final actor. Little wonder then that he would have crack up, some of the execution dates in 1920 - 23 were next day in another part of the UK and some were more than one too, it probably explains the errors made, Ellis was unlucky too in the infamous Byewaters /Thompson execution he did not preform both, Edith Thompson definitely he did and it affected him both I think were innocent.

It is not normal to murder people, legally or not. His soul must be forever tainted.
