	In 1868, Ashton faced several attempts on his life in a single day. His mistress, [[Mary]], attempted to poison him with an apple, having wanted to escape from his attentions but not having been allowed to. [[Thomas Reese]], his apothecary, attempted to poison him with chemicals to take revenge for the foreclosure of their family farm, which led his parents to live in penury. His business competitor, [[Laurence Hendricks]], shot him in the back because Ashton had sabotaged his business, and one of his employees, [[Eddie]], dropped a wooden crate on top of him.
