J. of Brighton;” And later… ; “During the time of my stay in prison the Dr. spoke very earnestly about seeing Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, that night by 12 o’clock, not to talk over the past, but to have a mutual forgiveness passed between them. He solicited Mr. J. to telegraph them, which he did; they did not get the telegram until dark, and the reply was that the notice was too short, at which the Dr. seemed much disappointed.” These quotes are from "Prison Scenes" written by Reuben Decourcy after he had visited Dr. William Henry King at the Cobourg Jail on the night before Dr. King was to be hung for poisoning his wife. Decourcy does not give the full name, but says he was accompanied by "Geo. J. of Brighton" and then "Mr. J." telegraphed the Lawson's at the request of Dr. King.
