MADE BUSINESS OF MURDER
William Burke, lnfar@ogs lrishman,
Also instrumental in Adding
Significant Verb to Language.

Burke and Hare were two notorious
body-snatchers, or resurrectionisrs,
who carried on their infamous trade
in Edinburgh. William Burke was
born in Ireland in 1892, and Went to
Scotland as laborer about 1917. In
1897 he was living in a cheap lodging
house kept by another Irish laborer
named William Hare. About the end
OF 1927 one of Hare's lodgers, an army
peGsioner, died, and Burke and Hare
sold the body to Dr.. Robert Knox.
an Edinburgh anatomist. Hare there
upon suggested body-snatching as
business and Burke agreed. The two
men then started in to entice poor
Travellers to Hare's or some other
cheap lodging house The victims
were piled with liquor and then suf-
focated under mattresses. without
marks OF violence. Doctor Knox took
the bodies and paid up to tli tSGW
for them. At least 10 people bad
been murdered in this way before
Burke ands Here were arrested. Hare
turned kings evidence, and Burke
was found guilty and hanged in Edin-
burgh CT January -2S, 1929. Hare
found Scotland too hot for him and
went to England, where he is believed
to have died, under an assumed name.
The verb ''to burke" meaning to SUIT
focate. to strangle, to suppress, or TO
out out of the way secretly, had it's
origin in Burke's method OF doing
away Nith his victims.
