In 1724, housebreaker Jack Sheppard--a "pocket Hercules," his small frame packed with muscle--finally met the hangman. Street singers sang ballads about the Cockney burglar because no prison could hold him. Just before Sheppard swung, he gave an account of his life to a writer in the crowd--Daniel Defoe.
