After Barney's suicide Woolf Joel reius,ed to pay the amount on the ground that nothing had been done to execute the plot, 'the quarrel and the shooting of Woolf ensued. [On March 15. 1593, Frank (or Ludiwig) Mcrtheim, a young man, >hot and killed Woolf Joel. Wertheim demanded * sum of £2500, ana Joel refused to give it to him.
