Skills

Skills are active or passive abilities of goblins and non-goblin enemies. Every goblin can learn skills of their breed by spending skill points, which are gained by leveling. Each level gives 1 skill point, with the Level 1 skill point automatically invested in the attack skill for basic Goblins, or a random active skill for the other breeds. Skills have 1-3 tiers. Upgrading to the next tier costs a skill point and replaces the previous tier.

## Memory and Affinity

Every non-enemy goblin has a memory slot, where they can slot in any learned skill from any of their other breeds for free. The affinity slot is similar, but requires learning the breed's Affinity ability, and requires the slotted ability to have effects corresponding to the affinity's elements. The starting skills for breeds that the goblin meets the level requirement for, but has not been unlocked by combat, can also be slotted in as a memory or affinity.

## Unspent Skill Points

Unspent skill points grant one of two bonuses, depending on the breed. Damage focused breeds gain +5 Power per unspent point, while defensive and healer breeds gain +10 health per unspent point.

Humpty Jackson

**Thomas "Humpty" Jackson** (1879 – 1951) was a New York criminal and last of the independent gang leaders in New York's underworld during the early twentieth century. Reportedly well read, Jackson was said to be an admirer of such writers such as Voltaire, Charles Darwin, Leonard Huxley and Herbert Spencer as well as various Greek and Latin texts. He was, however, known to be a violent man who regularly carried three revolvers, including one in his derby hat and another secreted in a strange-looking small sweaty holster under his hunchback.[*citation needed*

## Biography

He was born in the Manhattan Gas House District in November 1879 to Irish immigrant parents. Although little is known of his early life, Jackson uncommonly possessed an educational background despite his reputation as a ruthless criminal whose gang numbering fifty men included street thugs such as Spanish Louie, Ni\*\*er Ruhl, the Lobster Kid, and a six-foot-tall killer known as "The Grabber"

### Criminal activities

Based in an old graveyard located between First and Second Avenues bound by 12th and 13th Street in Manhattan, Jackson was said to give out assignments from blackjacking to murder for hire to his followers while sitting atop a tombstone. Although involved in organizing and planning, specifically armed robberies, burglaries and looting of warehouses, Jackson rarely participated in the criminal activities. However, on the evening of May 21, 1900, Jackson stabbed New York City policeman William J. Tynan five times. Tynan and his partner had been looking for Jackson because he was suspected of having stolen a gold watch and chain. The two policemen managed to arrest Jackson despite Tynan's having been stabbed. In 1902, Jackson fired four shots at Detective Edward Reardon, for which he served 30 months in Sing Sing. Reardon arrested Jackson again in May 1907 for robbing young women. At his arraignment, Jackson complained to the magistrate that he was being hounded by the detective, stating that "Reardon is dead sore on me and gave me my bit. My only crime is that I'm popular." As of 1905, the Humpty Jackson Gang was considered among the "big four", along with the Cherry Hill and Five Points Gangs, which dominated the Lower East Side.

Jackson once boasted in court that he'd been arrested "over 100 times." At least four of these arrests resulted in convictions. In January 1909, he was arrested for grand larceny, pleaded guilty to avoid a life sentence as a habitual offender, and was sentenced to four and a half years imprisonment.

### Later life

Released from Dannemora in 1912, he left the criminal underworld and began a small business. In 1932, while living in retirement as a pet store owner in East Harlem, he was interviewed by *Collier's Weekly*, in which he was referred to as the one-time "King of New York gangsters", as well as the *New York Times* three years later.
McGlory's Armory Hall

**McGlory's Armory Hall** is a nightlife establishment owned by Bill McGlory, located at 158 Hester Street.

## Description

It was described by a journalist for the *Cincinnati Inquirer* as having “a beastliness and depravity… compared with which no chapter in the world’s history is equal.” It very quickly became a popular underworld resort, frequented by thieves, pickpockets, and procurers throughout the old Fourth and Sixth Wards for nearly two decades. Armory Hall was often the scene of barroom brawls and gang violence. Drunken customers were robbed, many times by the female regulars who flirted with the victim beforehand, and then dragged from a table by a bouncer and thrown out into the street. Once outs ide, the victim would be searched by for anything of value and was usually stripped of his clothes.

Armory Hall was entered from the street through a double doorway, which led into a long, narrow passageway with its walls pained “dead black”. Fifty feet down the unlighted passage was the barroom and from there the main dance hall, furnished with chairs and tables, which accommodated up to 700 people. The music played in the dance hall included a piano, a cornet and a violin. A balcony ran around two sides of the hall with small box seats, some containing secret compartments, separated by heavy curtains reserved for wealthy patrons. These were usually out-of-towners who were known as big spenders in the city’s many resorts and clubs. Private exhibitions were held in these boxes “even more degraded then the Haymarket” and McGlory, as an added attraction, employed half a dozen half young males as waitresses “dressed in feminine clothing and circulated through the crowd, singing and dancing.” (see Gay Culture) They were “painted like women” and spoke in high, falsetto voices. As well as the many prostitutes and “serving girls” working in the dance hall, the concert saloon was widely known for encouraging homosexual activity among its patrons. McGlory also held athletic events at Armory Hall and charged 15 cents to attend these promotions.
Cherry Hill Gang

**The Cherry Hill Gang** was a New York street gang during the late nineteenth century.

Formed in the 1890s, the Cherry Hill Gang were known as the "dandies" of New York's underworld. Often wearing dress suits and armed with metal-weighted walking sticks, gang members were able to attack and rob wealthier victims surprising those who would have been suspicious of other poorer gangs of the period.

Throughout the decade, rival gangs would attempt to compete with the gang's success. One incident in particular occurred when, after the Batavia Street Gang announced hosting a party at New Irving Hall, the Cherry Hillers planned to arrive in expensive wardrobe. Not to be outdone, as hosts of the party, the Batavia Street Gang robbed Segal's Jewelry Store on New Chambers Street of 44 gold rings. The following morning however, shortly after selling the rings at a local pawn shop, over a dozen gang members were arrested by police while being fitted for suits at a tailors shop on Division Street, and spent that night in The Tombs while the Cherry Hill Gang and others attended the party.

By the early 20th century the Cherry Hill Gang was regarded as the most vicious gang in the city. Their main rivals were the Whyos, but they fought just as vigorously amongst each other. Many Cherry Hillers such as Yakey Yake Brady, Monk Eastman and Bill "The Brute" Sanger formed sub-gangs of their own and feuded constantly over turf and power.
Bob Fitzsimmons

Bob Fitzsimmons

**Robert James Fitzsimmons** (26 May 1863 – 22 October 1917) was a British professional boxer who was the sport's first three-division world champion. He also achieved fame for beating Gentleman Jim Corbett (the man who beat John L. Sullivan), and he is in *The Guinness Book of World Records* as the lightest heavyweight champion, weighing just 165 pounds when he won the title. Nicknamed **Ruby Robert** and **The Freckled Wonder**, he took pride in his lack of scars and appeared in the ring wearing heavy woollen underwear to conceal the disparity between his trunk and leg-development.

## The Jefferies / Fitzsimmons Fight

In 1899, Fitzsimmons fought James J. Jeffries at the Coney Island Athletic Club near Brooklyn, New York. Most people gave Jeffries little chance, even though at over 15 stones (95 kg) he massively outweighed his opponent and was far younger, but Jeffries lifted the World Heavyweight Championship from Fitzsimmons with an 11th-round knockout.
The Essex Market Police Court

The most exotic legal proceedings may have taken place in the long-demolished Essex Market Courthouse, which stood on Essex Street between Broome and Grand Streets from 1856 to the early 1920s. During that time, those Lower East Side pushcart operators unfortunate enough to be brought before a Magistrate for peddling without a license were likely to find themselves in the Essex Market Courthouse. Though they made their livelihood *hondling*, the pushcart operators, because of language barriers, often retained one of the many colorful members of the Essex Market Bar Association to negotiate their fines down to $1.00 or less. Thus, members of Essex Market Bar Association, such as its dean, “Rosey the Lawyer” (né Hyman Rosenschein), needed to be equally proficient in both Yiddish and English. President James Garfield’s assassin, Charles Guiteau, in a prior legal career, had practiced there. The Essex Market Court House was razed in the late 1920s to make way for Seward Park High
Jack Sirocco

**Jack Sirocco** (1882–1954) was a New York City gangster involved in labor racketeering and strikebreaking. Originally a lieutenant in Paul Kelly's Five Points Gang, where he was the immediate boss of Johnny Torrio, Sirocco defected to the rival Eastman Gang, which he led in its last days.

## Biography

Sirocco, known as the main rival of gangster "Dopey" Benny Fein, was an early member of the Five Points Gang, but later defected to the Monk Eastman Gang during the gang war in the mid-1900s. Sirocco remained with the gang as manager of the Pearl House dance hall with Johnny Torrio and the satellite James Street Gang, until 1911 when he and Chick Tricker left wounded Eastman leader Jack Zelig behind during a failed robbery. Attempting to gain control of the gang both he and Tricker refused to post bail for Zelig. However, due to Zelig's political connections, the charges against him were later dropped. Upon Zelig's release Sirocco and Tricker planned Zelig's death, sending Eastman member Jules Morrello (or Julie Morrell) to murder Zelig. Zelig, however, was informed of the attempt by Ike the Plug and killed Morrello during a party at the Stuyvesant Casino Hall on December 2, 1911.

This would begin a civil war between the two Eastman factions that would last for nearly a year until Zelig's death in 1912. Sirocco and Tricker tried to lead the Eastman Gang after Monk Eastman briefly returned to lead the Eastmans, but by that time the civil war had destroyed what was left of the gang.

Sirocco later formed another gang, hiring out to strikebreakers and labor sluggers, competing with rival "Dopey" Benny Fein as the two struggled for control of labor slugging in New York's East Side during the early 1910s. In November 1913 the two gangs clashed as Sirocco's gang, hired by the Feldman Hat Company as strikebreakers against union workers protected by Benny Fein's gang, quickly escalated into a major gunfight in which Fein lieutenant Max Greenwalt was killed (most likely by Sirocco member Red Murray although other sources state that Greenwalt was killed by Johnnie Dike in a gunfight on Broome Street).

Benny Fein planned an ambush to eliminate the Sirocco gang as they were attending a local dance at Arlington Hall on January 9, 1914. However the ambush turned into a major battle lasting several hours and, while neither gang suffered any casualties, Deputy Court Clerk Frederick Strauss, apparently investigating the battle, was killed in the crossfire [3]. In the ensuing scandal and the police crackdown, Sirocco disappeared from New York's underworld soon after the incident.
Charles "Red" Farrell

**Charles "Red" Farrell** is a longtime burglar and pickpocket and a member of The Hudson Dusters, Farrell would be in and out of prison from 1883 onwards.

By the time of his ninth and final arrest in August 1922, the 71-year-old thief was one of the oldest pickpockets operating in the city and was sentenced to six months imprisonment for "jostling".
Yakey Yakes

## The Yakey Yakes

The **Yakey Yakes** was a 19th-century street gang, prominent in New York's underworld.

## History

### Murder of Rival Jimmy Brennan

Rivals of the Cherry Hill Gang, eight members were arrested in connection with the murder of rival Jimmy Brennan on the night of January 11, 1905. One of the gang members, Thomas "Nine-Eyed" Donegan, later admitted to have taken part in Brennan's murder, shooting him three times. However, members Robert Ginan and John Dalton ("Kid" or "Brady") were held in custody while the others were released under subpoenas. Two others thought to be involved included Edward Lynch, who was found earlier that night with a gunshot wound in the leg, and John Sullivan, arrested in Jersey City for carrying a loaded revolver also suffering from a gunshot wound which had shattered his jaw.

Oak Hill police initially charged William Budd and James Galligan, who an eyewitness identified, ambushing Brennan at Catherine and Madison Street and killing him.

Adolph Simon Ochs

**Adolph Simon Ochs** is an American newspaper publisher and former owner of The New York Times . In 1896, at the age of 38, he again borrowed money to purchase The New York Times, a money-losing newspaper that had a wide range of competitors in New York City. He formed the New York Times Co., placed the paper on a strong financial foundation, and became the majority stockholder In 1904, he hired Carr Van Anda as his managing editor.  In 1904, Ochs moved the New York Times to a newly-built building on Longacre Square in Manhattan, which the City of New York then renamed as Times Square. On New Year's Eve 1904, he had pyrotechnists illuminate his new building at One Times Square with a fireworks show from street level.
Yiddish Black Hand

**The Yiddish Black Hand** or the **Jewish Black Hand Association** was a criminal organization and extortion ring that operated on New York's Lower East Side during the early 20th century, led by Jacob "Johnny" Levinsky. Around 1906, Levinsky, with Charles "Charley the Cripple" Vitoffsky, and Joseph Toblinsky, began an extortion ring from their hangout at a Suffolk Street saloon, delivering anonymous letters signed as the "Yiddish Black Hand" threatening to steal or poison the horses of local pushcart vendors and other businessmen, usually fellow Jewish immigrants.

This method had been used in New York City by Neapolitan Camorristi, Sicilian mafiosi, and other Italian immigrant criminal gangs who preyed on fellow Italian immigrants as the Black Hand. Within three years, the ice cream manufacturers' association created a commercial fund from which they would annually pay off the organization.

By the end of 1913, having gained a virtual monopoly in their criminal activities, the three reorganized their criminal organization with Levinsky concentrating on extortion in the ice cream trade, Vitoffsky focusing on job offers between rival dealers and manufacturers of seltzer and soda while Toplinsky cornered the produce market, truckmen and livery stables.

Although the three often worked independently from each other, they did work together when hired out for specific jobs such as assault, theft, and murder for hire. A member who had turned informant provided a description of their rates:

* Shooting, fatal - $500
* Shooting, not fatal - $100
* Poisoning a team - $50
* Poisoning one horse - $35
* Stealing a horse and a rig - $25
David Lamar

David Lamar

**David Lamar** is a con man known as the Wolf of Wall Street.

## Biography

David Lamar was born circa 1877. (various birth dates can be found; his 1934 obituary reports he was 65 years old)

## Criminal career

He appeared in New York City about 1893. In the 1890s "..he had a Fifth Avenue house and was known for his trotting horses, his diamond studded walking stick, his appearances as a man about town."

In 1899, Lamar claimed one of his most famous victims was 25-year-old John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Working through George Rogers, secretary to Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller, Sr., Lamar convinced the younger Rockefeller to buy stock in U.S. Leather, using money he had borrowed from his father. As Rockefeller Jr. was buying, Lamar was selling, and the younger Rockefeller lost nearly $1 million.

On July 9, 1903  when his coachman James McMahon appeared in court to testify against Lamar on an assault charge, McMahon was stabbed and beaten by members of the Eastman Gang as he entered the courthouse and he was unable to testify.

His obituary noted two brazen swindle attempts in which he hired two men as "hold up experts" in suits he brought against the U.S. Steel Corporation and the Great Northern Railroad and the Northern Pacific Railroads; his "experts" were exposed as frauds.

A 1913 profile of him remarked that he appeared to be wealthy at times and *broke* other times. That same year in New York, Lamar was indicted and charged with impersonating Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer.

During 1915, Lamar acted as an agent for Franz von Rintelen, a Captain in the intelligence wing of the German Imperial Navy who operated covertly in New York City. Lamar promoted strike action and work stoppages in munitions factories by means of the *Labor's National Peace Council*. From offices at 55 Liberty Street, Captain von Rintelen spent US$500,000, much of which went to Lamar, whose reports of his success were greatly exaggerated.

For impersonating a Congressman, Lamar was sentenced to two years to the Federal Atlanta Prison in May 1916. In October 1916, while serving his Atlanta Prison sentence, he was working as a tailor.
Batavia Street Gang

**Batavia Street Gang** was a New York independent street gang based in the Fourth Ward during the 1890s. Affiliated with the Eastman Gang during the turn of the 20th century, they were rivals of the Cherry Hill Gang throughout the previous decade. During one incident, five members of the gang were arrested for breaking into Seigel's jewelry store in order to purchase costumes for the Sullivan ball at New Irving Hall in an attempt to out do their rivals, who were known to be "dandies", and had announced they would be attending in extravagant evening clothes.

Stealing a gold watch from Seigel's jewelry store, Duck Reardon and Mike Walsh organized a raffle with the Sullivan Association at Coyne's saloon and, arranging it so that fellow gang member James Leary would win the watch. However, as neither the income from the raffle, nor the watch failed to raise enough money to purchase suits for the other gang members, their leader Duck Reardon, and several others, smashed in the front window of a local jewelry store and stole 44 gold rings ranging from $3–$45 in value.

After reporting the robbery to police, detectives from the Oak Street Police Station arrested several members of the Sullivan Association including Reardon, Arthur Hassett, George and Jerry Leary and Chuck Conners (not related to the ward boss of the Bowery and Chinatown), as well as tug boat hand Mike Walsh, who had purchased one of the stolen rings from Reardon (reportedly while they were trying on suits at a local Division Street tailor shop).

Held at the Center Street Police Court, the five were tried before a Magistrate Cornell who ordered Reardon, Hassett, Connors and Walsh to pay $1,000 while George Leary was charged $300 for stealing the gold watch. However, no charges were brought against Jerry Leary and he was later released.
Trinkets

Every goblin can have 2 trinkets equipped, which provide power (bonus damage and healing) and health. The rarer trinkets can also provide a passive or modify active skills.

Each trinket has a prevalence, which determine how often it spawns naturally, and a quality, which serves as an indicator to how strong a trinket is. Quality determines how much reputation the item is worth when giving and taking from a town's hoard, and the minimum level of reputation required to take it from a hoard. Quality is indicated by color, and the different tiers in order are Common (white), Uncommon (green), Rare (blue), Wonderful (purple), and Unique (orange).
Crazy Butch Gang

**The Crazy Butch Gang** is a gang of pickpockets and thieves, lead by Crazy Butch.

## History

In the early 1890s the gang began a "snatch racket", where a gang member would purposely drive his bicycle into a pedestrian and begin an argument. As a group had gathered to watch the argument the other gang members would pickpocket the crowd. Then they would meet back at their headquarters on Forsyth Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side to divide up the money.

The gang was allied to the Eastman Gang who were at almost constant war with the Five Points and Humpty Jackson Gangs between the late 1890s and early 1900s as they were incorporated into the Squab Wheelmen, an ally of Monk Eastman's organization. The gang broke up when Crazy Butch was killed by Harry the Soldier in a gunfight over a female shoplifter known as the Darby Kid.

James Jackson Jeffries

**James Jackson** "**Jim**" **Jeffries** is an American professional boxer and World Heavyweight Champion.

He was known for his enormous strength and stamina. Using a technique taught to him by his trainer, former Welterweight and Middleweight Champion Tommy Ryan, Jeffries fought out of a crouch with his left arm extended forward. He was able to absorb tremendous punishment while wearing his opponents down.

A natural left-hander, he possessed one-punch knockout power in his left hook, and brawled his way to the top of the rankings. He is perhaps most famous for being United States "Great White Hope", since the nation expected him to come out of his retirement to beat the African-American boxer Jack Johnson, who was at the time the Heavyweight Champion.

Jeffries stood 6 ft 1+1⁄2 in (1.87 m) tall and weighed 225 pounds (102 kg) in his prime. He could run 100 yards (91 m) in just over ten seconds, and could high jump over 6 feet (180 cm).

On June 9, 1899 in Brooklyn, New York he defeated Bob Fitzsimmons by knockout to win the Heavyweight championship of the world.
Kid Jigger

**Jacob Siegel** (fl. 1900-1910), also known as **Kid Jigger** or simply **Jigger**, was an American gunman-turned-gambler who operated one of the most successful stuss parlors in Manhattan's East Side during the early 20th century. He was one of the few gamblers not under the control of the many street gangs active in the city, supposedly due to his reputation, and generally ran his operations free of interference from more powerful underworld figures.

In May 1910, he was confronted by Johnny Spanish who attempted to intimidate Siegel into making him a partner. When Siegel refused, Spanish said that he would return the following night to *"bump youse off tomorrow night"*. Indeed the following night Spanish returned with his partner Hyman Benjamin and confronted Siegel as he was leaving his Forsyth Street headquarters, between Hester and Grand Street, and called on him to fight. Spanish then pulled out his revolver and shot at Siegel, who ran off retreating into his stuss house, which instead hit 8-year-old Rachel Rooten which was playing across the street. Siegel later served as the principal witness against Johnny Spanish and Hyman Benjamin, although Spanish later fled the city.

Siegel appeared as a minor character in the 2003 historical novel *And All the Saints* by Michael Walsh.
William Busteed

**William H. Busteed** (1848–?) was an American gambler and underworld figure in New York City at the start of the 20th century. The owner of a successful Broadway gambling resort, he was one of several men who rivaled "Honest" John Kelly, a leading political figure in Tammany Hall, as well as other prominent gamblers such as Sam Emery, Dinky Davis and John Daly.

Paresis Hall

Former cite of Paresis Hall. To the left of the Village Voice building

**Columbia Hall**, commonly known as **Paresis Hall**, was a brothel and gay bar in New York City in the 1890s. Located on the Bowery near Cooper Union, the Hall was managed by James T. Ellison, and took its common nickname from a general term for syphilitic insanity. The building contained both a bar and a beer garden on the ground floor, with two floors of rooms above that were rented out. One was permanently held by the Cercle Hermaphroditos, an early transgender organization, who stored clothing there due to the illegality of and public hostility to dressing in women's clothing. Paresis Hall was particularly renowned and reviled even at the time, and was a common target for both police activity and religious protests. Despite this, evidence suggests it was active until at least 1899.
Blackwell's Island

## Blackwell's Island Jail

**The Penitentiary on Blackwell's Island** is a jail on modern day Roosevelt Island. . Blackwell's was the name that for nearly two centuries identified what is now known as Roosevelt Island, whose aerial tramway cable-cars gliding over the East River can be seen from the Queensborough Bridge. The cigar-shaped 120-acre isle beneath the bridge extends 1.75 miles and is 750 feet across at its widest point.

## History

About the time DOC became a separate agency, Blackwell's housed a population of approximately 7,000 \_ inmates and patients. Visitors needed agency permits to come across by the ferry that made the round trip from East 26th St. twice daily. Department steamboats transported inmates between the Tombs and Blackwell's Island.

The Penitentiary stood 600 feet long with a projecting wing on the north side. The main building was constructed with gray stone taken from island quarries. It rose four stories high in a castle-like design and had 800 cells in four tiers back-to-back in the center of the structure. Scandals in the early 1900s, involving charges of inmate overcrowding, drug-dealing, and favoritism, prompted surface "reforms," including a change made by Aldermen on April 12, 1921, to a more pleasant-sounding name: Welfare Island.

Nevertheless, the Penitentiary remained in place even though the language of the law creating DOC clearly had sought eventual removal of inmates from Blackwell's to Rikers and Hart Islands. That transfer didn't happen in earnest until scandals in the 1930s led to real reform during the administration of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. In January 1934, LaGuardia's reform Correction Commissioner, Austin H. MacCormick, led a raid on the Welfare Island penitentiary to expose conditions. This brought about the removal of all inmates to Rikers Island, where new facilities were just being completed. Welfare Island was turned over exclusively to the care of the aged and the ill.
Vagabond Hurricane

The so called **“Vagabond” Hurricane** struck New York City on the morning of September 17th, 1903, having already devastated multiple communities along the Eastern seaboard. The storm raged for only four or five hours but left a trail of destruction in its wake. A large number of merchant ships and recreational yachts were sunk, damaged, beached or otherwise destroyed off the coast of Staten Island. Basements throughout Brooklyn were flooded. Windows across the city, including those of the Flatiron building, were completely blown out. Roofs were torn loose from their buildings and church steeples came crashing down to the street. It was described as the worst storm to hit the city in ten years.

Jules Morell

**Julie Morrell** or **Jules Morello** is an American freelance gunman associated with the New York Eastman Gang around the start of the 20th century. He was hired by Jack Sirocco and Chick Tricker to murder Eastman leader Jack Zelig, who had been engaged in a gang war over control of the Eastmans. However, upon being informed by local saloonkeeper Ike the Plug to whom Morell had bragged *"I'll fill that big Yid so full of holes he'll sink !"*, Zelig lured the unsuspecting assassin to a Second Avenue dance hall, the Stuyvesant Casino, where the Boys of the Avenue were holding an annual grand ball on December 1, 1911.

Morrell, who had become intoxicated while drinking at Ike the Plug's saloon, staggered in to the dance hall at around one o'clock and began yelling for Zelig as he walked onto the dance floor. Suddenly, the lights were turned off. When the lights came back on seconds later, Morrell had been shot and was lying dead on the dance floor.

Remaining in hiding for two weeks, Zelig was eventually arrested by detectives in New York's East Side but released shortly after. In 1912, Zelig himself was murdered while riding a trolley car.
Frank "Goo Goo" Knox

Frederick Schmidt as Goo Goo Knox on The Alienist

**Frank "Goo Goo" Knox** is a West Side gunman, and a member of The Hudson Dusters.

## Biography

### Death

He was killed by John Hudson in what police suspected was a dispute over bootlegging. He was believed by authorities to have ceased criminal activities for two years before his body was found on the sidewalk of 52nd Street. Hudson later died of a morphine overdose at Bellevue Hospital under mysterious circumstances
Louis "Louie the Lump" Pioggi

**Louis "Louie the Lump" Pioggi** is a New York criminal and member of the Five Points Gang, known most prominently for the murder of Eastman Gang leader Max "Kid Twist" Zwerbach and Vach "Cyclone Louie" Lewis. He appears in newspaper accounts and public records as **Louis Poggi**.

## Life and crime

Although newspaper accounts report Pioggi (spelled *Poggi*) was employed as a clerk in a Coney Island hospital with no criminal record, Pioggi apparently became associated with members of the Five Points Gang during their decade-long gang war with the Eastman Gang.

On the night of May 14, 1908, Pioggi was confronted by Zwerbach and Vach Lewis over a Coney Island dance hall girl, Carrol Terry, and eventually forced to jump out the first-storey window of a saloon. After returning to rival Five Points Gang leader Paul Kelly, Pioggi returned to the saloon and lured the two into the street where they were ambushed by members of the Five Points Gang and gunned down.

During his trial, Pioggi claimed Zwerbach and Lewis had confronted him with members of their gang at his hotel with the intention of murdering him. Forced out into the street, he went on to say he then shot both before they were able to get out their pistols. His lawyer, John S. Bennett, issued a statement to the court that for the safety of his client, Pioggi would choose not to stand trial and plead guilty to manslaughter as his testimony might incriminate certain figures of the city's underworld. Bennett's claims were further supported by Edward Reardon, formerly of the District Attorney's office, and Thomas Fitzpatrick, brother of slain gangster Richie Fitzpatrick, but apparently neither man appeared at the trial.

Pioggi was later sentenced to one year at Elmira Reformatory, and following his release, he was charged with violation of the Sullivan Law in April 1912 and jumped bail. Shortly after this, one of Pioggi's friends, Charley Torti, was accused of shooting arch-rival Jack Zelig on the steps of the Tombs on Pioggi's orders in June 1912. On the run for three years, Pioggi was eventually arrested in Times Square by detectives of the District Attorney's office on July 28, 1915. At his arraignment, he was imprisoned in the Tombs without bail to await his trial.

His World War I draft registration card from June 1917 shows that Poggi, then living at 910 Jackson Avenue in the Bronx, was employed as a bartender at 8 Baxter Street in the employ of William Casazza.

In June 1923, Poggi and another man were arraigned for the shooting death of Charles Cassazza, in the Poggi's Cafe Royale at 8 Baxter Street.

Poggi's World War II draft registration card, from 1942, shows Poggi listed as an unemployed bartender, and residing at 333 Madison Street, with a mailing address of Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's Island.
The Black and Tan

**The Black and Tan** is a popular Bowery basement bar located on Bleecker Street, owned by Frank Stephenson. It was one of the first saloons to cater to African-Americans and was a competitor against neighboring establishments such as Harry Hill's gambling resort and Billy McGlory's *Armory Hall* among others. He is also credited for opening the city's first and oldest "undisguised" gay bar, *The Slide*, also on Bleecker Street.

While the establishment was popular among African Americans, the *Black and Tan* was frequented almost exclusively by white women who appeared "to have been quite abandoned". It has been speculated that the establishment served as a meeting place for interracial matchmaking and its clientele including Native Americans, East Indians, Chinese, Malaysians and Lascars. News reports of the time, however, reported "that non-whites were just as likely to be cold-cocked and fleeced as visiting farmers from upstate". Four bartenders served drinks over a long counter, and behind each was a long dirk and bludgeon which often used against unruly customers. In the hours before closing, much like other resorts of the era, were "enlivened with the cancan and licentious displays". Crazy Lou, a former dance hall girl and Bowery character, was a regular customer and had a reserved seat. She would continue to visit the bar, staying from midnight to 2:00 am, until her mysterious murder. Stephenson continued to set a glass of whiskey on her table for a month after her death and would not permit anyone to sit there until after 2:00 am.
Short Tails Gang

The Short Tails Gang in 1890

**The Short Tails** also known as the **Short Tail Gang** for their distinctive short tailed jacket coats were an 1880s-1890s Irish gang located in the Corlear's Hook section of the Lower East Side on Rivington street in the vicinity of Mangin and Goerck streets of Manhattan, in New York City. The Eastman Gang were also headquartered around Corlear's Hook and may have had its beginnings as a break away gang of the Short Tail Gang. The Short Tails along with rival gangs the Daybreak Boys, Patsy Conroy Gang, Swamp Angels, and Hook Gang worked the New York City waterfront plundering ships of their cargo on the East River

Never numbering more than a few hundred members, the Shirt Tails, like many other gangs, disappeared shortly before the American Civil War (although they did participate in a coalition of gangs under the Dead Rabbits and fought against the Bowery Boys during the New York Draft Riots), with its remaining members dissipating or joining other Irish gangs.
Bowery

## The Bowery

The **Bowery** (/ˈbaʊəri/) is a street and neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The street runs from Chatham Square at Park Row, Worth Street, and Mott Street in the south to Cooper Square at 4th Street in the north. The eponymous neighborhood runs roughly from the Bowery east to Allen Street and First Avenue, and from Canal Street north to Cooper Square/East Fourth Street. The neighborhood roughly overlaps with Little Australia. To the south is Chinatown, to the east are the Lower East Side and the East Village, and to the west are Little Italy and NoHo. It has historically been considered a part of the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

## History

By the 1890s, the Bowery was a center for prostitution that rivaled the Tenderloin, also in Manhattan, and for bars catering to gay men and some lesbians at various social levels, from The Slide at 157 Bleecker Street, New York's "worst dive", to Columbia Hall at 5th Street, called Paresis Hall. One investigator in 1899 found six saloons and dance halls, the resorts of "degenerates" and "fairies", on the Bowery alone. Gay subculture was more highly visible there and more integrated into working-class male culture than it was to become in the following generations, according to historian George Chauncey.
The Bowery Lodge is one of the last remaining flophouses on the Bowery
From 1878 to 1955 the Third Avenue El ran above the Bowery, further darkening its streets, populated largely by men. "It is filled with employment agencies, cheap clothing and knickknack stores, cheap moving-picture shows, cheap lodging-houses, cheap eating-houses, cheap saloons", writers in *The Century Magazine* found it in 1919. "Here, too, by the thousands come sailors on shore leave, – notice the 'studios' of the tattoo artists, – and here most in evidence are the 'down and outs'". Prohibition eliminated the Bowery's numerous saloons: One Mile House, the "stately old tavern... replaced by a cheap saloon" at the southeast corner of Rivington Street, named for the battered milestone across the way, where the politicians of the East Side had made informal arrangements for the city's governance,  was renovated for retail space in 1921, "obliterating all vestiges of its former appearance", *The New York Times* reported. Restaurant supply stores were among the businesses that had come to the Bowery, and many remain to this day.
