Rush, a delinquent tenant of Isaac Jermy and his son, devised a plan to kill the two men, their servant, and the son's wife and blame the murders on rival claimants to the Jermy estate. He succeeded in killing the Jermys but failed to kill Mrs. Jermy and the servant, who survived to identify him. Popularly known as the "murders at Stanfield Hall," the killings became a national sensation, with a wax figure of Rush displayed prominently at Madame Tussauds.
