		Today’s farfetched example comes from the Dublin of 1882, when on May 6 a group of conspirators (including one Dubin city councillor) who were part of a group known as the "Invincibles" murdered Thomas Burke, the British undersecretary for Ireland, killing with him the secretary, Lord Frederick Cavendish.
		The crimes became known as the Phoenix Park murders and were a cause celebre for many years.
		In time, as with most similar crimes, the story was forgotten, and few people today (even in Dublin, I think) could name even one of the conspirators — except for professors of 20th-century English literature and singers of Irish folk songs.
