joined a Luddite attack on a textile mill in
April 1812. He was injured, detained and
died after being allegedly tortured to give
up the identity of his fellow Luddites.
Booth's last words became a legend: "Can
you keep a secret?" he whispered to the
local priest, who attested that he could.
The dying Booth replied, "So can I."
