The grave of English murderer John "Babbacombe" Le

The grave of English murderer John "Babbacombe" Lee in Forest Home Cemetery.
Lee was convicted of murdering the elderly woman who employed him at her Babbacombe Bay home, and was sentenced to hang. He climbed the gallows at Exeter Prison on February 23, 1885, and with rope around his neck, waited for the plunge through the trap door.
But it did not come.
The trap door was jammed, and after three failed attempts, his sentence was commuted to life in prison.
Lee was eventually released and enjoyed brief fame in Britain as the "Man They Could Not Hang."
Then he vanished.
It turns out he boarded a ship with his mistress (abandoning his pregnant wife in a workhouse) and lived out the rest of his life in Milwaukee.
