However, to date, the Governor has not recognized the trials or executions as unconstitutional. Alexandar Campbell is my great great great uncle (not sure how many greats) and the book "The Molly Maguire Story" by Patrick Campbell also a relative of Alec Campbell, is a great book for anyone looking to learn more about the Molly Maguires.
Far too late to save Campbell and the other men who were executed on the infamous "Day of the Rope", both branches of the Pennsylvania legislature have passed resolutions (House Resolution No. 527, Session of 2005,[9] and Senate Resolution No. 235 Session of 2006)[10] recognizing the trials of Alexander Campbell and the other accused Molly Maguires as being inherently unconstitutional, and charging the governor Ed Rendell to do the same.
oooo that handprint in there is creepy....here's the story...... Many, many years ago an innocent man was accused of doing something he didnt and he placed his hand on the wall and left a handprint saying "here is the handprint of an innocent man". The hanprint stayhed on the wall........even after they repainted, replastered, and rebuilt the wall, the handprint returned in the same exact spot.....OOOO CREEPY!
thats not exactly the full story...the man was an accused member of the Molly Maguires- a group of violent Irish coal miners who blew up coal mines in Pa and were hung for it. but this man claims he was innocent and his handprint is proof
I think that the image of the hand print is actually copyrighted. If they find this they'll probably ask youtube to remove it. Still pretty cool though.
and evil men are still trying to suppress the rights of workers organizing.
Like that squirrelly looking Governor in Wisconsin.
May Campbell's ghost haunt Scott Walker!
