Samuel Green (1796 – April 25, 1822) was an American serial killer and robber. He has been called America's first "Public enemy Number One" ==Early life== Samuel Green was born in Meredith, New Hampshire in 1796. At an early age, his parents believed him to be possessed by a demon because of his frequent school skipping and would whip him. As a teenager, he became a blacksmith's apprentice where he was whipped for stealing. He was whipped for destroying the blacksmith's garden but did not admit it. He was then sent home and whipped again. In retaliation, Green threw the family dog down a well, contaminating the water, and causing great expense to the family. He was beaten severely for this. He retaliated by slashing the neck of the family pig and was again whipped.〔 The family gave up and sent Samuel to live with family friend Albert Dunne in Newhampton. Green attended school for a while but began skipping again. He then stole a Jew's harp from a shop and Dunne beat him as punishment. Green fled home and his parents, having heard of the theft beat him unconscious. Green was sent to Dunne and then whipped until flesh was flayed off his back.〔 For the last beating, Green set up a trap to kill Dunne. He put an axe, that would fall on his head, and a pitchfork, that would strike him, in the barn door. When Dunne entered the barn, the axe sliced his coat and the pitchfork gave him a slight foot injury. Dunne then tied Green against a barn door, severely whipping and bloodying him for the attempted murder.〔 Afterwards, Green destroyed a hogshed of cider,〔 stole bushels of corn, and tried to burn down Dunne's barn. As usual, he was whipped and beat by Dunne.〔 After a few months, Green became too strong for Dunne, who let him be.〔 Later, Green met another youth named William Ash.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Green (criminal)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
