Murder of Mr. McGee

This photo was taken by Aleksandr Saenko


On May 16, 1853, a laborer named McGee was lying on the Atlantic and St. Lawrence railroad near Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. He was stupid drunk at the time. Another laborer named Sullivan decided to strike McGee in the head with a pick-axe several times. Sullivan went on the run and I couldn't find if he was caught or not.

I could only find one article on this case.
