His fellow conspirator and provider of fresh 'meat' for the Edinburgh surgeons' operating tables had earlier been hanged, but fearing the mob's vengeance, the authorities had freed Hare hoping he would vanish forever, little knowing that his name along with the nature of his terrible crimes would reverberate and live on even if his subsequent history did not.
