This is about James Hadfield who was injured in the Battle of Roubaix and subsequently went a bit mad and tried to assassinate the king of England in order to be put to death, believing that this sacrifice would instigate the second coming of Christ.
At the trial his lawyers pleaded insanity and he was not put to death but spent the rest of his life in the secure wing of a hospital. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hadfield

| Iliketrains – The Deception Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
This is about Donald Crowhurst. He entered the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, a single handed round the world yacht race. He got into trouble early in the race when his boat began to fall apart. He was determined to set the fastest time so he abandoned the race and falsely reported his position without actually travelling around the world. He disappeared before the end of the race and his boat was found abandoned. Evidence suggests that he went insane and committed suicide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst
