Political Assassination in England: the Murder of Sir Curzon Wyllie..., 1909. '...drawn...by our special artist, Cyrus Cuneo...From Material Supplied By Mr. D. W. Thorburn, Who Helped To Capture The Assassin. Our drawing was made, as we have noted, from material supplied by Mr. D. W. Thorburn, one of those who witnessed the assassination and helped to hold the murderer until the arrival of the police, and may be taken as representing accurately the scene the moment after the crime, when Lady Wyllie was bending over the body of her husband and the assassin was in the hands of his captors. The crime takes the greater significance when it is remembered how rare is political assassination in this country. At the inquest a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against Madar [sic] Lal Dhingra, "25, a native of the Punjaub, described as an engineering student".' From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
