On this date in 1899, James Bulger—father to crime boss Whitey Bulger & State Senate President Billy Bulger—lost an arm. History books say it was an "industrial accident." In truth: At 14, he tried join the navy, walked to RI, asked cops for help, then tried to jump a train home. https://t.co/jdxFU8Pu05
