Prendergast Hanged for Mayor Harrison Murder
Patrick Eugene Prendergast, a 23 year old newspaper carrier in Chicago, was hanged at Cook County Jail at 11 48 am for the murder of Mayor Carter Harrison.

He sought notoriety through political ambition and failed to win public office before killing the mayor.
