Beach, Fla.
Croker was born at Black Rock.
near Cork. Ireland. November "a,
lS4l. His father same to America
when Richard was child. For few
years tho family lived in Cincinnati,
but soon returned to New York.
As youth he was employed as
a machinist in locomotive building.
Some OF the physicah strength de.
vclopcd in this work he employed III
number OF prize fights in which il
was reported that he was principally
victor. He became member and
soon leader OF band OF unemployed
youths or political hcelers known as
the Fourth Avenue Tunnel Gang.
This leadership gave him his first
political recognition and he quickly
developed into ward politician:
soon becoming Tammany leader OF
one OF the assembly districts OF New
York City.
Charged With Murder.
A charge of murder preferred
against Croker in his early ventures
into politics almost terminated his
political career. Croker went TO the
polls in his district and protested
against the stuffing of the ballot
boxes by another political leader.
While he was arguing James Nc
Kcnna, one OF the hcnchmen Of the
other leader, was shot and killed.
Croker was indicted and tried, the
jury disagreed and the case was SUBJ
scquently thrown out OF court. CroS-
er denied that he. did the shooting
and the man who did it afterward
confessed. 1t was characteristic OF
Croker that although he knew the
name of the man who did the shoot
ing. he would not reveal it.
One Of the odd phases Of Croker's
career, in view OF his subsequent rec
ord as Tammany- chicftain,. was his
assertion that he went into politics to
put a stop to the robbery Of the city
by Boss Tweed and his band Of plum.
derers.
1T was a shocking state Of things"
Croker declared. Il consulted hon
est John Kelly and went on the war;
path against Tweed and we downed
him. We. reformers and indepen-
dent democrats took over Tammany
and made the old sink Of corruption
the headquarters of reform"
Married Twice.
Croker was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Elizabeth Frazer
of New York. They had nine chill
dren, OF whom three died when
young Richard Croker, jr., his Oldest
son, is a New York business man.
Another son, Frank Croker, was kill
ed in an automobile accident at
Ormonde Beach, Fla. One of his
daughters was married to Count
Louis San Martini of Naples.
The first Mrs. Croker was sensi-
tive to the publicity and criticism un-
der which Croker lived and, when
he went to England for his turf CAM
paign. she made her home in south
ern France. Her death occurred in
Austria in 1914.
Within year. Croker. who was 73.
married in 1914, Miss Beula Benton
Edn1ondson. known as the Princess
Sequoyah. daughter OF a Cherokee
and member OF the Cherokee tribe,
but an educated woman devoted to
philanthropic work. At that time
Croker maintained home in New
York, but spent his time either at
Glencairn OF at his home at Palm
Beach. t

Speaking at Bennett, Bynum said:
