Description

In 1921, Terrible Tommy O’Connor was tried and convicted of killing Chicago police officer Patrick “Paddy” O’Neil. He was sentenced to hang to death in the gallows constructed behind the Courthouse. Four days before his scheduled hanging, O’Connor escaped. The Judge ordered that the gallows that had been constructed within these walls specifically for his hanging be preserved in the hope that O’Connor would be recaptured. Tommy O’Conner was never captured, but the gallows remained standing for over 50 years, until 1977.
