True stories: discovery, historical & scientific

This is the story of Tully s great-great uncle Michael, who was hanged for murder more than a century ago. According to family lore, Michael was attacked in a pub accused by his attacker because as an Irish immigrant he was taking work from locals. He pushed his assailant away but the man s head hit a cast iron mantelpiece and he expired. As an Irish Catholic immigrant during an economic depression at a time when anti-Irish prejudice was rampant, he never stood a chance of justice.
