"Eugene Aram — Complete" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton depicts the events leading up to the execution of Eugene Aram in 1759 for murdering his business partner. Eugene Aram was an English philologist, who was also infamous as a murderer. In February 1758 a skeleton was dug up at Thistle Hill in Knaresborough, while men were digging to find stone for building. Suspicion arose that it might be Aram's partner, and Aram was the prime suspect.
