Added description of [[Harry Oakes]] murder. I am puzzled why there is no mention whatsoever of this on this page. It was one of the most famous trials of the era, Harry Oakes being one of the richest men in the world, and a dozen or more books have been written about it and several movies. Edward's involvement was noteworthy, suspicious even some have claimed, but at minimum worth a mention
One sentence is too short for a paragraph.
