The bloody tragedy or A dreadful warning to disobedient children : giving a sad and dreadful account of one John Gill in the town of Woborn, 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 desperately wicked, that he arose in the dead of the night : and cut his father's and mother's throats in their bed, afterwards binding and ravishing the maid-servant he murdered her also and then robbed the house of the 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 goal : together with his dying speech at the place of execution : with several other things worthy the observation of young people.
