WOW FUCKwww

It seems that the 63 year old gentleman (František Kočvara) visited a brothel at Vine Street no. 5 in St. Martin’s on the night of September 2nd, 1791. There he spent time in the company of a prostitute named Susannah Hill, gave her two shillings for a dinner of ham, beef, porter and brandy, and following their repast he requested that she remove his testicles with a knife; which request she reasonably refused. The musician then proceeded to secure a rope around a doorknob, kneel, tie the other end around his neck, and, apparently while engaged in intercourse with Ms. Hill, he strangled himself. Hill was prosecuted for the musician’s murder, although in the end the court found her testimony regarding the night plausible and acquitted her. The court records were supposedly destroyed to prevent public scandal, but a secret copy was made with an eye to future monetary gain—the copy is said to have been preserved and kept at the Francis Countway Library of Medicine in Boston. At the time the incident was whispered about, however, and a year after an anonymous pamphlet was published called “Modern propensities; or, An Essay on the Art of Strangeling, & c. Illustrated with Several Anecdoets. With Memoirs of Susannah Hill, and a Summary of her Trial at the Old Bailey on Friday, September 16, 1791, on the Charge of Hanging Francis Kotzwara, at her Lodgings in Vine Street, on September 2” (J. Dowson, London, 1791).
