Fleeing from the scene the murderer was confronted by Moore's neighbour, Charles Collard, whom he also shot dead. Apparently Barthélemy had been wearing a voluminous blue overcoat, with, concealed in its pockets and lining, a dagger, two pistols, 24 cartridges and a boat ticket for the Continent; he was on his way to France to assassinate Napoleon III. Barthélemy had already been prosecuted for being the surviving duellist in the last fatal duel ever fought in Britain, receiving then just three months imprisonment, but after the double murder of Moore and Collard he was sentenced to hang. The overcoat apparently ended up on a wax effigy of Barthélemy in Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors.
