George Edalji

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Ernest Thompson Edalji (March 1876 – June 17, 1953) was the eldest of three children of Shapurji Edalji and Charlotte Stoneham. His father was of East Indian descent (born a Parsi in Bombay), and his mother Scottish. Edalji became a solicitor in Birmingham, England, during the early 1900s. He proved to be an outstanding student during law school, and won prizes from the Law Society. He wrote the book Railway Law for the "Man in the train", which was "intended as a guide for the Travelling Public".

He was wrongly convicted of the 'Great Wyrley Outrages', but cleared as the result of an investigation by Arthur Conan Doyle. Julian Barnes' 2005 novel Arthur & George (ISBN 0-224-07703-1) recounts the entire episode in great detail. As yet, the only factual account of this case is Conan Doyle and the Parson's Son: The George Edalji Case (ISBN 1843862417).
