about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Uppsala County Jail in the castle, winter 1848–1849. A prisoner already sentenced to flogging and life imprisonment for theft attacks those who are to put a new set of irons on him, and a guard, the servant Widlund, is stabbed with a knife and dies after several days of agony. The prisoner is known throughout the city as Dalpelle — the master thief and escape artist from Mora. A real murder from Uppland's legal history: the real investigation, the real verdict, and the last public execution in Uppsala, on 28 March 1849. Everyone involved has been dead for over a hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
