THIS is A DEAD LINE FOR COPS
NO TRESPASSIHG UNDER
PENALTY OF DEATH.
THE CAR BARN GANG.

And that they meant this In good
faith was shown by the fact that with
in a week two policemen were stoned
and beaten in that territory.
Contemporary with the Car Barn
gang and the Humpty Jacksons, and
just about as bad, was the gang con-
trolled by Tanner Smith. The activi-
ties OF this outfit have added interest
now because OF the fact that Smith
whose real name was Thomas Smith,
was shot and killed over card game
in the Marginal Club about n week
ago. About 1910. and for two years
thereafter, the Tanner Smiths were a
thorn in. the side Of the police. They
used stilettoes to a large extent, and
several policemen were badly injured
in encounters with the thugs. This
gang was finally broken up after Ar
thur Woods became Police Commits
s!oner and started his crusade against
gangsters Smith WAS sent to prison
for a year and several others of the
gang also got prison terms.
When Smith got out of prison he
saw the error of his ways and re.
formed. although the police declare
that 1t was the influence Of his sister
that made him a decent citizen once
more. Smiths sister was loyal to him
throughout his career as a gangster
and she used to tell the police thai
eventually she would get her brother
out OF the company OF his evil as
sociates and get him started on Tho

carried two guns. one under his hat
and the other strapped under his
hump. And in the Brooklyn Bridge
district was the gang controlled by
"Yaley Yake" Brady, while further
uptown there were such gangs as the
"Morans," under the leadership Of
Mickey Moran, and the old San Juan
negro gang, which held forth in the
district north of Columbus Circle and
west to the North River. Hell's
Kitchen had half dozen gangs, all
vicious and criminal, while Manhattan
Vile, Chelsea. Yorkville and the
Greenwich districts were alive with
bands of ruffians, although they never
approached the power of the Kellys
and the Gophers and the Eastmans
and some of the others.
Some OF these gangs continued for
years unde.' their old names. while
others under new leaders acquired new
titles and in many instances became
known to the police as new gangs.
But there were so many OF them that
II is impossible to chronicle al, Of
their names excepting those Of the
most important. let alone attempt to
tell of their doings and the doings Of
the various members. BY 1910 many
of these gangs had disappeared, or
had changed their names, or had been
broken up by the police. In that year
! the gangs that gave the police the
most trouble were these, as listed by
! the detective bureau, with the number

This resulted in great many broken
heads, but the method was SO effica-
cious that the gangs We're practically
broken up. assisted by the activity Of
the Central Office detectives in arrest
ing many of the leaders. 1t is worthy OF
note, in fact, that every time the pa
trolmen were allowed to use their
clubs freely in dealing with the gang
sters the gangs have been curbed.
There have been few gangsters with
nerve enough to stand up to police
man in fair combat, even though they
were armed with n blackjack.
During 1909 and 1910 the Car Barn
gang and the Humpty Jacksons were
perhaps the most dangerous OF these
gangs. The Car Barn crowd was par
ticularly vicious and cowardly In Its
attacks upon the police. They never
waylaid copper and gave him fair
hight; 1t was their custom to hide on
the roof tops and greet the policeman
with a shower of bricks and stones. II
one of them found it's mark and

but when he was brought TO trial he
seemed to be so very young and he
looked so very innocent that the court
gave him but a year in Elmira, which,
as he expressed 1t with scorn. he
could do standing on his head" The

how he was going to turn out after
