Murder of Thomas Bates

(

)

... that, though four people testified that he didn't murder Thomas Bates, Oswald Grey was the last person hanged at Winson Green Prison?

Appropriate length, citations, creation date, no issues with hook. IShadowed (talk) 08:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I pulled this hook out of the prep. Article has ugly bare-url ref citations that need fixing. (Also, it's odd that the hook emphasizes his being the "last person" hanged, when the lead-in clause makes it surprising that he was hanged at all. And is there a linkable article about the prison?) --Orlady (talk) 19:06, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Refs fixed and link added. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:34, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Looks OK now. Thanks! --Orlady (talk) 14:16, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
