James O'Toole (mobster) - Repercussion of His Murder

Repercussion of His Murder

After O'Toole was murdered, former associate Mullen Gang member Paul McGonagle was sentenced to death by James J. Bulger. Bulger murdered McGonagle with the help of Thomas King and buried him on Tenean Beach in Dorchester, Boston. Bulger drove McGongale's car off a pier in Charlestown, Massachusetts and tossed his wallet into the water. This was to give the impression of what had happened but no definite solid answers. McGonagle's friends were also persuaded that Paul had been murdered by rival mob associates in Charlestown and take a misguided revenge against the McLaughlin Brothers gang, therefore eliminating more of the Winter Hill Gang's rivals.

Famous quotes containing the words repercussion and/or murder:

    The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.
    Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)

    Chinese do not repay friendship with death.
    Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Ah Ling, Murder by Television, when he is accused of Perry’s murder (1935)
