On the flimsiest of circumstantial evidence the two Irishmen were convicted and hung. Several years later another man confessed to the murder. In 1994 Gov. Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation exonerating Daley and Halligan. Now author Michael C. White has brought their story to life in a novel based on their story, “The Garden of Martyrs.”
The town of Northampton, Ma, commemorated the two innocent men this St. Patrick's Day.
“The Garden of Martyrs” by Michael White – The entire, tragic story.
