Two Peel men, James Moore and Thomas Siddleton, were sentenced to hang for robbery with violence in 1832. Moore confessed but Siddleton protested his innocence, even with his feet on the trapdoor and his neck in the noose. We look at the case and their execution which took place on 22nd October 1832.
Our story in Manx is all about strange goings on on 31st October, so perhaps a week in advance. It's a translation of a story written by an American writer currently based at the University of Glasgow, Alexandra Grunberg. It's called 'Ta Cuirrey Creeoil Erriu'.
