In Lincoln on the 19 February 1883 fifty year old Anderson, a Lincolnshire coal miner was sentenced to death by Mr Justice Cave at Lincoln Assizes for the murder of his wife at Gainsborough on 6 December 1882. Anderson had cut her throat, and then his own after a quarrel. He expressed deep regret for the crime and despite a petition signed by thousands of local people, he was hanged by William Marwood.
