J. Tucker Hennessy

J. Tucker Hennessy owned an old mansion greatly desired by Governor Smart before he became Governor.  Tucker was shot and killed by either his son or Smart, it is unclear but a letter from his daughter Rachel suggests the son was the murderer.  He was then hung to make it look like a suicide, although this didn’t fool the police.  Smart also purchased the house just before the murder, but Tucker’s signature could have been a forgery after his death.  His daughter feared for her life and would die in a car accident years later and his son attempted to kill the Governor over the mansion two years after that.
