MOLLY MAGUIRES WERE A
BAND OF ASSASSINS
A subscriber asks The Gateway to
give a history of the Molly Maguires
and their aims. The original Molly
Maguires were formed in Ireland in
1843 by Patrick Maguire, for the pur
pose of resisting collection of rents.
Rent collectors were intimidated, and
where that was not enough they were
whipped, ducked, stabbed or shot. A
number of executions took place but
it was difficult to get testimony and
the society disappeared when the evil
it was designed to combat disappear
ed, some ten years later.
The American organization of Molly
Maguires was formed of a band of
coal miners in Pennsylvania. It was
a murder society from start to finish,
and terrorized the coal fields for 20
years. Dozens of coal miners were
murdered and others had their homes
burned. It was organized in 1877 and
was finally broken up by the Pinker
ton’s who placed operatives in the or
ganization until they secured a con
viction. A number of its members
were convicted and executed.
