Description

The document announces the execution of the last Mollie Maguire, Dennis Donnelly. He was the fifteenth executed. The document lists the remaining 14 murdered Mollie Maguires. The Molly Maguires were an Irish 19th-century secret society active in Ireland, Great Britain and parts of the Eastern United States.

After a series of often violent conflicts, twenty suspected members of the Molly Maguires were convicted of murder and other crimes and were executed by hanging in 1877 and 1878.
