5. Stanford White was shot by Harry Thaw at the original Madison Square Garden when Thaw became jealous over White's previous affair with Thaw's beautiful young wife, Evelyn Nesbitt. I believe the shooting took place in the 1890s, but I may be off on that. It was one of the most sensational crimes of its time and was portrayed in the 1950s movie "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing."
13. "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead"
