Madden ILL at Sing Sing
Former Gang Leader Operated
Upon for Internal Injury

OSSINING, N. Y, Sept. 11.-Ownie
Madden, former leader Of the Gopher
gang on the West Side, and recently
operated upon for an internal injury
is in a critical condition in the hos
pital at Sing Sing. Madden was sent
up five years ago after being convicted
of manslaughter. He has two years
to serve. His injury was due to an old
gunshot wound.
Madden was convicted on June 2,
1915, for having instigated the killing
OF Patrick Doyle in Forty-frst Street
saloon in Manhattan. He ordered two
men to shoot Doyle as the elimination
of gang feud.
Margaret Everdean, former sweet
heart, turned against Madden in the
trial. Later the girl recanted.
Madden was shot in a dance hall
fight, in 1912. Doctors told him he
couldn't live, but Madden refused to
reveal the name of his assailant.
Warden Lawes says the gang leader
has been q model prisoner.
