Claim: Walter Calverley murdered William and Winnie, his two daughters, then refused to plead and was therefore pressed to death.
Evidence: In a drunken frenzy, he rushed at his two eldest children, William and Walter, the former four years old and the latter 18 months (baptised at Calverley on 4 October 1603) and killed them both; at the same time he stabbed his wife, but not fatally.
