Leslie Hylton: Only Test cricketer to be hanged
May 17, 1955. Leslie Hylton, West Indian pace bowler of the 1930s, was hanged in Jamaica on charges of murdering his wife. Arunabha Sengupta recounts the gruesome details of the crime and punishment.
The charges of spot-fixing and throwing matches in modern day cricket may continue to shock and astound many, but cricket and cricketers have had a long association with more heinous crimes.
On this day in 1955, Leslie Hylton, West Indian fast bowler of the 1930s, was hanged in Jamaica after being found guilty of murdering his wife.
The weirdest Test match
Hylton, a long-serving paceman of Jamaica, took 13 wickets in his first Test series against Bob Wyatt’s Englishmen in 1934-35. He made his debut in the first Test at Kensington Oval, one of the weirdest ever played.
On a pitch severely affected by rain, West Indies were sent in to bat and managed a score of 102. In reply, Manny Martindale and Hylton picked up three wickets apiece and reduced England to 81 for 7 by the end of the first day. With overnight rain making a pudding of the wicket, Wyatt declared at that score. West Indies captain Jackie Grant countered the poor conditions by reversing the batting order and sent Hylton to open the innings. He batted solidly to notch his highest Test score of 19, and eventually top-scored for the side.
Amidst more rain, followed by strong sunshine and wind which made batting almost impossible, Grant declared at 51 for 6. He closed the innings immediately after George Headley fell for a duck — a bold and bizarre move, to make England bat when the conditions were at their worst, although three front-line batsmen — George Carew, Derek Sealy and Charles Jones were yet to bat. In England’s second innings, Martindale picked up five wickets. But, although Hylton made the ball rise awkwardly, his inexperience showed and he was taken for runs by the experienced England batsmen. Wally Hammond sealed the issue with a six over extra cover and England reached the 73-run target with four wickets in hand.
However, West Indies won two of the three remaining Tests to clinch the series and Hylton bowled impressively in the second and third Tests.
Hylton travelled to England in 1939, but by then he was past his prime. He played in the first two Tests and was dropped for the Oval match — which turned out to be the last before the Second World War. He ended his career with 19 wickets from 6 Tests at 26.12. He retired from First-Class cricket the same year and settled into a life of civil service as a foreman.
Sex, lies and murderThe next year Hylton fell in love with Lurline Rose, the daughter of the Inspector of Police in Jamaica. The relationship did not get off to the ideal start with plenty of objections arising from the great disparity in the status of the two families, with the Hyltons being at a distinct disadvantage. At one point, the disconcerted father even sifted through police files to find records of Hylton. However, love won through and the couple got married in late 1942. Five years later a son was born.
Things took a disastrous turn in 1954. Lurline made frequent trips to New York City to cater to her dressmaking business. That April, Hylton received an anonymous letter with explicit details about his wife’s supposed illicit relationship with Roy Francis of Brooklyn Avenue.
