[Headlines are made when an unknown man calls in to the late night WNYC radio show and informs the DJ that there are three dead men "mouldering" in a shallow grave in the basement of a tenement in Hell's Kitchen. In the short ensuing conversation, he comments that they are "men of Ireland."
The sound clip goes viral, as various scholars speculate the man is either a "classically trained Shakespearean actor with mistaken pronunciation" or a nutcase who likes to thee and thou.
Considerable excavation was necessary to unearth the remains, which were undisturbed. The bodies are over sixty years old; three white males, all victims of homicide. Given forensic evidence that is uncovered over the next weeks, they are theorized to be the buried results of gang conflict.
Composed of primarily Puerto Rican and Irish descendents, these gangs and their activity characterized Hell's Kitchen in the middle part of the last century.]
