Radford Williams, an Englishman, was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged. As a last request, he asked if he might be permitted to spring the death trap himself. He was and he did. George Walker, who worked on a farm not far from where Johannesburg stands today, was on his way to church one Sunday morning in March 1886 when he stumbled over a piece of protruding rock covered by grass. He knelt down to remove the cause of trouble and discovered the main reef conglomerate containing $10 billion worth of gold. Although he stumbled over the richest gold field in the world, Walker died in poverty. Believe It or Not!
