Michael McDonald was married twice, first to Mary Noonan, then to Dora Feldman.
Mike renounced his Catholic faith and divorced Mary to marry Dora.
At the age of thirty-two Dora fell in love with a 14-year old artist named Webster Guerin whom she was insanely jealous over.
Dora became livid when she mistook Avis Dargan, the fiancée of Webster's brother Archie, as one of Webster's girlfriends.
On the morning of February 21, 1907 Dora crept into Webster's studio and shot him through the neck killing him.
During Dora's trial "King Mike" McDonald died of heart failure, but left enough money to cover his wife's expenses and court costs.
Dora was acquitted on February 11, 1908.
On his deathbed McDonald reclaimed his Catholic faith and proclaimed Mary as his only wife in the eyes of God.
Mary and two of McDonald's sons from his first marriage, later joined Mike in the family mausoleum in Mount Olivet cemetery.
