The entry says that Pym was "murdered" by Tilton. Was Tilton prosecuted? Convicted? Acquitted? Can someone who is a specialist in this area of history provide the rest of the story? Thanks. (71.22.47.232 (talk) 18:04, 20 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]
Tilton was convicted of the lessor manslaughter charge. For an amazingly thorough biography of Pimm/Pym, see http://www.menwithcuster.com/51/ Note that there is little doubt that he was born in 1847, and that his only known given name is James. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.139.235 (talk) 01:06, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
