SKU
'Plan of Streets, etc., with Enlarged Plan of Part of West Princes Street, etc.'
A rare evidential street plan from the notorious Oscar Slater murder case. It maps central and north-west Glasgow from St Vincent Street and Sauchiehall Street to West Princes Street and the Kelvin, with an enlarged inset of Queens Terrace. Symbols identify the home of victim Marion Gilchrist, Slater’s lodging, the Sloper and Motor Clubs, Johnston’s billiard rooms and Kelvinbridge Subway Station; measured routes and yardages reconstruct movements discussed at trial. Gilchrist was murdered at 15 Queens Terrace in December 1908. Slater was convicted in 1909 on deeply flawed identification evidence, reprieved from execution and imprisoned until 1927; Arthur Conan Doyle’s campaign helped expose the miscarriage of justice. Drawn by Glasgow architect R. W. Horn from evidence produced in court.
