The bloody tragedy; or, a dreadful warning to disobedient children. Giving a sad and dreadful account of one John Gill, in the town of Oborn, in Bedfordshire, who lived a wicked life. How, coming home drunk one Night, he asked his Father for Money to carry on his Debaucheries, who putting him off till next Morning, he grew so impatient and desparately wicked, that he arose in the Dead of the Night, and cut his Father and Mother's Throats in their Beds. How afterwards binding and ravishing the Maid Servant he murdered her also, and then robbed the House of Plate and Money, and set it on Fire, burning the dead Bodies to Ashes. With the Manner of the Discovery, and being apprehended, what Confession he made before the Magistrates. How the Ghosts of the dead Bodies appeared to him in Jail. Together with his Dying Speech at the Place of Execution. With several other Things worthy the Observation of Young People.
