Biographie[]
Sutton was a member of a dangerous gang later known as a gang from Bank Worthingdon. The group specialized in organizing banks' seizures. In March 1880, criminals attacked Bank Worthingdon. During it, the leader of the Cartwright group killed the bank's caretaker. Soon after, Sutton applied to the police and issued partners. Thanks to his testimonies, Cartwright was hung, and the others got 15 years in prison. Sutton, due to cooperation with the police, avoided prison. However, he realized that Biddle, Hayward and Moffat would be free one day. That is why he changed his name to Blessington and thanks to the money from robberies he bought a house in a rich district at Brook Street. One day he learned that in one of the dorms he was accepted by a young medical student Percy Trevelyan. Blessington decided to use him as a bodyguard when Biddle, Hayward and Moffat are released. However, so that a young student would not realize his role, Blessington offered him a medical practice for Brook Street. In return, Trevelyan was to give Blessington three -quarters of earnings and deal with him. Already after the first view of Blessington Trevelyan discovered that he has some heart problems, but does not require constant medical care. Blessington also had the habit of going for evening walks. Initially, everything was fine, but one day Blessington changed beyond recognition. He was terrified and urged Trevelyan to mount various security because there was a burglary nearby. Trevelyan agreed and the house turned into a fortress. In fact, what frightened Blessington was no burglary but the article saying that Biddle, Hayward and Moffat were released conditionally from prison and left the releases a few years before the planned exit from prison. After a few days, Blessington calmed down a bit and began to go out for his walks again. One day, however, he was terrifying again. After returning from the walk, he discovered wet traces of shoes in his room. He guessed who was the perpetrator, but he didn't want to reveal it to Trevelyan. Instead, he asked the doctor to hire the best detective in London, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes, according to Blessington's wish, appeared on Brook Street, but Blessington also did not want to reveal the truth to him and claimed that he did not know who the burglars were. Then Holmes got nervous and announced that Blessington would not help until he was telling the truth and left. At night, Blessington got an end. Biddle, Hayward and Moffat, after bribing the servant, got into Blessington's house and overpowered him. Then they lit the cigars and began to deal with what to do with Blessington. They finally decided to hang it. Initially, they wanted to construct the gallows themselves, but when they saw the hook from the chandelier they chose a simpler solution. Although Holmes did everything to capture the murderers, they managed to leave England. However, the murder of Blessington was punished to some extent because the ship that his killers escaped sank during a sea disaster a few months later.
