Avenging of Joseph Dain By GEO T Pardy
In March 1878 two burglars raided the Dains in Toronto, wounding Joseph Dain. Detective John Wilson Murray tracked down Charles Leavitt and Frank Meagher, leading to Meagher's capture in a tense showdown. Meagher was later convicted with Leavitt’s testimony, and Murray's pursuit spanned cities, prisons, and a dramatic railway confrontation.
