Abstract
- This article reviews the case of Alice Wheeldon, who was accused, along with her daughters, of plotting to murder prime minister David Lloyd George in 1917. However, the Wheeldon's were anti-war activists and the prosecution used this to inflame the public against the family. Although the evidence was almost nonexistent, Attorney General F. E. Smith won a conviction against three of the women.
