what you're just doing what sexual in your phone. We will know that if they want to see the podcast, this
percent, even go to all things coming to you to page where we have about
dynamic performance as by us.
I wasn't centralizing as being an idiot, your sexual assault,
I was, I was singing metallic, more hours, no leeway linking like here.
It was a priority.
Rather it was a pretty rising Ratan eyes.
I have listened the show. What do you mean
of Zaire as the zone that I thought we were about.
it would do we fight, we know each other and on fair offer our began time, gotcha yeah, so
friend, I really like you
land that eighteen in seventy five K law year of our Lord Jesus Christ,
This ever since
brought to you by Jesus there for you to save you
you know after hearing the other ads and his he just doesn't seem to offer a promo code or waiting on some money and super he's just super into basic, simple stuff he's like keep it super Rio and keep it really quick, and it's not really a market for that yeah, alright, Edward,
Eastman was born in college
call hook section of lower Manhattan. I never heard of that. You really corps
Lears Corlears Hook, say: ok, what's his name had heard of them now Edward Eastman,
His mom was Mary is Father was Samuel. He was a veteran of the civil war. Ok,
Samuel is now working as a Wall paper hanger, a great industry,
Time John Colonel
I'm here
so they lived on the lower side for these five years.
Before that we know they ve been in California,
they had one sign Willie, who was three in eighteen: seventy, but then he didn't show up anymore censuses, so we're going to make
someone he died, ordered you know
ran all had three went off on his own career,
by the time Edward reached fires, dad left Samuels out Guy get stuff
leaving Mary to raise the kids on our own. The family then had a move in marries. Father George
He was living on the Upper EAST side,
grandfather was sixty nine and work in a dry goods, store, sure for dry, stuff, yeah
he might see was not unaware errors and Cherokees and why out get Edward
The three sisters Lizzy, I didn't Francine. The family had clearly spend some either so California,
and you'll died when Edward
fourteen, ok,
mean he he does data to remain in the lower east side all that time and he died of consumption in the house of rest for consumptive. So he was in the right place to die with it right. Yeah
What should we name it? Well, let's really, let's call it on the nose. Has me
Mary had already been saying. She was a widow for years. She was already like gaze debt. Ok, so is just
up as under the bargain, yet
Edward Super Animals, Kay
and and really he was in a pigeons really
it. Pigeons, ok, he's underwrite city, yeah, yeah,
It was very common for kids to catch pigeons or steal them and then sell them back then sell a pigeon who you selling
Pigeon to a pigeon guy who is buying a pigeon and the land, or you can just go pick up a pigeon early bankers such as that
deposit. You couldn't just pick up a pigeon to catch it and I don't think it's easy to catch a pigeon. You ever tried to catch a pigeon when you're a kid now.
Rising rocky. Do it? Ok, so that's a chicken.
What
I know people want them so think people, but people wonder people doing what the pigeons have. You ever seen like one of those movies where there's a guy on a roof and then the guy goes up to talk to them and there's a bunch of pigeons in a cage. What yeah that that's? What's going on,
I think that's Agora, very Meda, but you're. Just people are just domesticating the pigeons yeah. I think you keep
keep pigeons and its opinion collection eat out now have motto: roof,
image. Again, you are you've, got no idea, sometimes,
What comes up like hey, I Anita needs, help or John will. The idea there like a
so the kids who caught pigeons recalled pay.
Chasers sure, Sir Edward's, a patient, chaser, great mountain good crew, know then start
keeping some patients for himself in a cruelly constructed cage on the roof of his building. Okay, so don't act like you have been validated by something you knew was coming, or else he pigeons in New York in the fucking basement or in your bedroom, as everyone puts around the room every scene, you are talking like Trump. Have you seen the movie as oh you mean these documentaries called fictional movies? Yet don't
just yourself or anything, nor we. You are out of your mind and out of line
So
oh, he used to lure them with other.
The June day, so he'd have
pages and another patient pages and then catch him. Ok
good could a trap up to forty pigeons a week
Doing this and make money could sell them for ten to twenty five cents. Each an effect
The worker made a buck fifty a day, so he could actually make a decent living as a pigeon. Changes have to be eating. The pigeons,
Yeah me, maybe, if you're selling a pigeon, these people are not
taking pigeons like just look for a pet
the shooting them or their loading them in some capacity might be yeah. They live eating. I think they're eating it
is often do stealing in fighting alot. Ok, we'll Hobbes shirt,
worse depression. The country had seen hit in eighteen. Ninety, three thousands out of work to who was shown the term breadline was created. Ah that's nice yeah. It is nice
thousand beggars and ten times as many homeless, we're in New York City, along with the street kids
previously discussed gangs, of course preyed on the street kids and their control lower Manhattan, okay, Edwards ground.
rather try to keep him on the straight and narrow and at one point set em up with his own pet store in Brooklyn. Ok, he loves you.
should we talk about those pigeon excuse pigeon when he likes cats, also
all animal I like this guy,
just a little worried
but then you don't grams died
and things when another direction, boy
being a small pet store? Honor did not suit Edward. He wanted more.
He was soon hanging out with a gang of pimps and thieves, who are known as the Allen Street cadets. Okay,.
Edward used irish names like William Delaney? He that's what he was going
algeria- ok because
it's better to be
I saw suddenly late
it's a whim, Delaney it because there are so many irish gangs down there that it helps to be irish. Also,
move. Is there some, so their authentication tests were pretty weak? Obviously
Did you say your name her?
That's an irish name right, as you are a major area about that,
My name is Tom: Peters
shit and there is some,
more. Thank you is jewish by domain is not just now,
I mean episode, is fake character is not jewish. Sorry! Okay, for I have been a lot of people who said he wasn't like. He was he's probably process
so what
I didn't go in order to establish a lot of people go into them.
so also another reason to be Irish, Tammany Hall right you're connected with the politicians of your gangs, you're irish yeah. You can get that pigeon pill that interest easier here.
He also went by William Murray and sometimes monkeys, men and other names. But monk is what is known ass? It s. People refer to amass
Even I rarely is that now sure, yet it I'll make sense
because there's nothing weird. He was now known to police, but because
as he is different names they always they. They thought he was
delay near somebody else like that. Catch me that they remain there's no way to the union.
my dear I just go like with which you now kid Frank, Frank, O Neill. That was the best. I remember in high school a couple times those places where the parties it get busted and they caught before. I had idea and the council be like what's your name, but if it's just like the best and solve it later as yet
That's all life was the ad sounds great
once when he was arrested. He actually said his name was Edward Eastman, but a cop in the station jumped up and yelled quote. I know him his name's, William Delaney, that monk and I took that, as
so he was arrested for many minor offences like stealing pigeons,
and you weren't allowed to steal pigeons our summers pigeon, you can steal it's not anyone else's. Pigeon know that here, that's catching opinion. Beware! Germany! I steal you with this. Eliza said that this is very, very good. If I can just go up on the roof there are,
building as talking about pigeon roofs,
my God, married in
teen, ninety six or nine March, two,
yeah nice room right,
He was trying to mugs. First series arrest came in eighteen. Ninety eight he was caught with burglary tools.
he told the cops. His name is William Murray and that
the name he went.
To jail under four three, my okay, so
so Edward. Doesn't it already hanging out in jail
So much is small.
five feet: five inches taller and one hundred fifty pounds. Ok,
that's normal for them right a great.
this records, the average gang members, five for three inches tall and wait a hundred and twenty two hundred thirty five pounds. So what
happened to us since then. Have we just like what they were eating good back then nicely and then and then, in times of, like of economic. You know, recession.
They would even less so right.
If there was a malnutrition, pens also now grown, we eat so much and there's so many antibiotics, yeah, probably just like yeah or we're all much bigger than they were actually took a pic because characters get super in a peaky blinders, and I was when I was doing this research. I came across a picture and I took a picture and I sent it to her and she's like look at how tall they are and then because of that it was the police and they're all five three,
invite for its prey. You needed scale.
So
maximum here.
Add messy hair.
He wore a he wore a derby, ok,
those two sizes to small. So so he look like
some sort of like you so wishes perched on the top of his head, like a monkey like a car,
a monkey right like a carnival
he's got a little baby had on GO baby had an he had gold cap teeth.
He liked to hang out in the gangs club without a shared on or in torn up
so this guy is ok, it's quite a look.
Oh geez he's got a real mush face. I mean
that's probably not yet, but he got into a lot of fights. So that's what happened to his face swollen is tight, looks tiny tat from a description of monk quote. He began life with a bullet shaped head who
describing, as I think I think that means that
you know. Sometimes, when you come out of the old who hold your baby, that's gotta, who gets its debts.
legal term legal terms.
Yet these in court. I came,
they? Who and sometimes you get a little of appointing action and if you lay the goddamn, don't turn him over. It stays pointing
Well, that's. Why isn't helmets eyes that their dirt
I guess
shape that head so the I. I know that, but words also that you know you can get that. That sort of you know back of the head like a coffee,
If you're, not careful, you gotta rotate them. Who is watching these children where they are just like? Oh, we forgot about it for days now he's a plank of wood. I dunno. If they knew to rotate them back, then I mean who knows? Who or or his parents didn't care. You know yeah. It feels
I like that, I say begin with a bullet shaped head and during his turbulent career, acquired easier to get a bullet shaped kit out of the hull. True just fires out, he acquired yet the catcher's Mitt
they would go join us in our countries,
the acquired, a broken nose and a pair of cauliflower ears. That's what I'm saying he had heavily veined sagging gels, a short bull, neck, plentiful plant,
plentifully scarred with battle marks as where his cheeks? Ok,
so you see he's got a lot of yeah. Yeas laid looks like a fighter yet
and he was he- was about ass fighter monks, fighting reputation, Latin him, a job working as a sheriff in me,
Silver dollars saloon; ok, so
in a saloon instead of a balanced or you would have a sheriff of your bar. Well,
We ve got a whole police force sheriff
Did you know these were not the same thing as a share of now? Its bid is
More have a bouncer okay, but with totally ready to do whatever they wanted. So I guess exactly like a sheriff a sheriff or a bar share, like our sheriffs in L, a have actually gang tattoos right there in sheriff gangs. Here, that's cool yeah. It's really good good!
and
So this, where he became super well known monk,
walk around for foot locus, which is a police state
I have a kind of wood locus words. I think that set which is harder than any other kind of what right and it's almost his size, the item as big as him
he had a black jack in his pocket and brown.
Knuckles on each hand. What is a black jack? That's
like lead, I think I'm pretty sure it's the leather thing, that's like full of like
ladder whenever Sona can just cracks on them. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that others do
they came to it. He also was very good using a beer bottle
we had to improvise shipper bottle.
rich. Guy kicking the crap out who is bad with using a beer bottle in a fight. He is not that easy, I feel like. I could pick it up really literally,
for each guy he kicked the crap out of he would carbon notch in his please stick. He would also
beat up anyone who he heard have been cruel the animals. This guy
it. This is another. One of these guys were Adam like doing around key poky, I'm in on a mountain. I don't know. What's going on, I like I do like that, for
especially in this era. This is when people were like. Cats are here
kick in,
oh in this era. Those Emma today now get lured on this era. Monk
it was up in the sheriff world and landed a job at New Irving Hall, which is a much bigger, much more popular place. Dances held there with a lot of like lower belly criminal types.
He quickly got a reputation as the most brutal sheriff around. He was even
worse than eat, em up Jack Mcmanus, who worked at suicide hall. What just? What did you just say to me, sir, by your tongue,
what is his name Edam Jack need Jack MIC man. They would eat em up.
like a jack in the box parties need the fuck out of here K. He waited to us at all sure know. Now
because so many women jump out the value to kill himself. What yeah? Ok,
Why bad parties meagre? How did they get up there with the pigeons on the roof dummy attributes?
for on the job market heard so many people who need to go to the surgeons ambulance.
Drivers shudder referring to the accident ward at Bellevue Hospital as the Eastman pavilion weight because he sent so many people area, while ok
on the night. He hit forty nine victim
not in his knights Dick he just went up
cracked, an innocent guy standing at the bar to make it an even fifty know how it is. You are so eager to get. Pin number you don't want to wait. Annoying late or maybe late at night, like this one, is going to close down three days since he'd gotten someone in the house gotta go to fifty yeah. I mean he been one, fifty for so long. Sarah bathroom here, I deserved it,
monk became someone young man growing up in nor manhattans. Looked up to share the
who became part of his crew or the assistance at the hall and then others came. They imitated his speech and his mannerisms organic.
The School of EAST monk of monk, Eastman criminals and brawlers was born a school,
so they just want to be like, and so he was shown on the ropes cheese that he's like their god. They would
Anyone anywhere for anything more
resigned from his job and because
again later, so he went forth
we went for TAT. I get benefits all right. Ok,
I tell you. I got a bunch of kids who can do I like his job as a sheriff was not in his mind, close enough to being sort of like a gang person. What
we can now, but now you can make money like real money because of me,
it is a gal out of the gang and you can send them out to the crime. Okay, so he'd send them out.
park endemic loud and yet so this a real Oliver situation has got going Ba he's fucking these building a business love you do like Oliver. He sent them out to pay
pocket and steal all the city. They also work as lookouts runners and bodyguards city is asking for tributes from criminals,
operating on what became his turf tributes being money right? Ok,
This territory now stretch from the Bowery to the EAST River Kay.
At this time the older gang some people may have heard of were gone, the dead rabbits, the plug uglies, the wires the wires. I have a picture that we've heard of the plug uglies before right. Pedigrees have been in a lot of stuff, that's the wives of bayous and they were badasses. They don't look very
I don't know they look scary and anybody have a lot of these people just look scary in general, so these three gangs had merged and turn into the five points gang
urging the guys we gave no agreement,
We re it. So there
it's around fifty smaller gangs. In the area who owed allegiance to larger gangs, okay, so the big
As with the gophers, the gas houses, the Hudson Dusters and now the estimates sure. If a game
war broke out. The smaller gangs would fight under the banner of a larger gang,
ok. So you had just kind of like auxiliary gangs, and you have a smaller gang networks under you sure, and if you need reinforcements, you call in the smaller get right one and that their independent right, but they will there sort of independent contractors ceremony. I will join your gang during times of need. Yes, K. Shirt makes total saga
in nineteen hundred senses. Monks job was listed, as quote salesman birds. What of a flat here, the cheeses?
the census was just like a now select one of the jobs we offer to fill the senses, and so you
put handlers large pigeons, smear pigeon. Guy doctors lies beater
well, he had opened a new pet star on Broome Street,
don't reality. He refused to sell any of the animals
he had
five hundred animals and birds in the shop, not a lot.
Ted store owners recognised the cruelty of the business enough to be like there, never leaving the three great admiration attack in as many as possible. I may like that's like why I can't like, if I go to like a shelter or we don't go to bed Sorbonne I used to like I would
are you just like. I want to take everything with media. This is, if I were to own a pet shop than trying to like they can't leave their my friends and by the way I don't have many more. I live in my bed store this far.
I saw, but if the pets are as a friend,
that's why he's not selling anything, because it's just a way to you know bring money through to the pet shop
I was cows headquarters in carrying out their snake is full of money. The hell is this.
he's? Guinea pigs, it just for our heroine data of a real, oh boy,
ass. The street was a public school one day, monk decide to source shooting out the windows of the school. Sorry, sir,
we're need a little more context of Pazienza just because his move is dramatic. Ok, where he was just bored he's
then his pets Doria decides Hill
shooting across the street at the windows of the school, I
you, twenty years ago that sounded a lot crazy. It still
sounds crazy yeah, but now
Let's say I went there yet
the head, mistress reported quote: bullets rain through the schoolrooms and the children were in a panic. What I'm look out, I don't know.
so. The head, MRS runs out and starts yelling at monk,
I'm impressed yeah, I'm just say he responds quote: you're all right, you're, a good sport,
call the cops, and he did as I asked him
so he she yelled at him and he was
you're, all good! Look at you with your yellow day, nay, shooting sorry you're right,
he's a nice guy, YO super nice guy for sure the butt
say he is sure the easements kept expanding, causing more more friction with other gangs on their borders. Mercosur.
Very good diplomat and built alliances with rivals and as the expanded he delegated crimes to his lieutenants, though he still like to quote beat
What guy once in a while, I
it's my hand in ye, know for sure you're going to get bored. Well, it's tough. I mean it's all paperwork at that level. Are you not alone
we supposed to do just like sit around and delegate and do pay for your stories about these guys. Flogging strangers. Can you imagine not being a guy? I don't even yeah
might also been sitting at. Like ninety nine to say he was like I've. Gotta get I've got to go,
some of the names of the smaller gang. Here we go now on fire under the Eastman were them
Are these the baton
yeah the street gang the Lolly Myers there we go the red, onions they're. Here we go and this
glass, wheelman. Why tat
It did. Did the names even makes sense in that area to people or where people are
what a squab? What does it say
Bob Wilman? What the hell's squab squad, so the squad wheelman were run by crazy Butch. What is happening,
Monkey now ventured into another business bike. Rentals.
think buddy when parliament either bikes. Now
and least to stay,
good graces of monk. The smaller gang members had to rent at least one bike. A week sure
whether they could write it or not. Right, so that's. In other words, what we would call a bribe the right
The scrub wheelman were actually named in homage to monk.
Squabs or pigeons, and women are bikes that are they formed a gang named for him.
It's quite an homage. That's pretty fuckin sweats call yet
lab wheelman crazy, but show why he was nickname crazy one night when he attacked these squab wheel, own poolroom, sure so he's.
he's the head of the Squire women crazy, but she
And he goes to the squire women and he had TAT all the squire women any any attacks them quote by way of tests
their valor and settling definitively in event of trouble. Who would stick and who would duck sure so he
is crazy. Yeah, ok,
Butch over six. Others burst into the pool room. Shooting there is
sixty Wheelmen inside almost all flood one.
I jumped out a window and broke his neck. That guy
that's embarrassing. It was a test you, mass boy. Now I was getting playing along and move anything now. My extremity ease
but you will find that state and I now, but by also praise you guys, yeah, there's, not a prank. That window is not real glass
and the ground is mired yeah. I needed an ambulance. We are worthwhile.
A brothel lawnmower, unama gang anymore
ok, I've heard
Squabs flagman heads areas, hilarious, yeah, all right, I'm gonna head did his light out.
In my mind's eye, but
soon was sent away for burglary for got a year sentence, so that he's in trouble for it yeah right
monk, always kept his true identity, hidden any constantly move. She was never really telling him and he everyone thought he was a bunch of different names spread. He said
switching headquarters around from saloons and pull rooms and even wants to a graveyard he's trying to keep them.
Cops or no one is excellent. Understanding is that yes rise in caves and re eating, lender readers and a whole wet. How do we do it? The reader? That's! What's it always saying? Is this year there? That's that
Is this thing I ever heard of Irian Jaya?
are the really like dip them in water. Now he would like tape, but he will have a bag of Doritos that he would pour some water in the back. What in the fuck does that even mean
I understand or criminal, you know,
say what you will I to me,
That's where I go with this man is not of this world.
Have you ever tried it just because you now, because if you do
If you David, you be like every other details like I'd better than all the other citizens. Yes they're, just
eating Blaine Doritos they're, not putting water in their bags near
if they would just get soggy, and you can pick them up. Hey dude, I'm not the guy who's saying this is a gimmick, shake it up and then drink it. Like a nutshell, know, that's also what that helps you get. There is no this eat both are crazy for what I
I've read, is that he would just here to act like this one, the. U S had captured him.
This is after you, it wasn't like he was just then the palace, like trade, unremitting, catch him, the human. We kill them. Yes, but there is they had a month. They put him other high. So this is when he is there,
during his trial. When he's like jailed now,
Finland was never jailed. No, no! No Saddam Hussein,
Oh some senior Jesus question.
known and wait
was he in prison for so whose
in you not enough to on too they and given him giving them Doritos, they were like bribe and with the readers, you're sayin other likes it. I'm look play ball baby. Will you another bag of the reader
cereal GO baby. What fucking world?
It is it's. It was a different time. I mean this. Is the world you're describing is worse than the world? The world of the story and the world we live in now is worse than both yeah. Okay,
so this case switch in locations. You sleeping graveyards, the gang started Workin for Tammany Hall, stealing ballot boxes voting over and over and working as quotes, luggers sure, meeting people who just beat people
who didn't do what they wanted, guys who would come to vote and they're going above the wrong guy? They would probably slug that guy right. So until that guy's brain got in the position, it was supposed to that's right and he saw the light and voted for him. It was your home right. The way for a bag of Doritos,
and are doing all this just? Can they gave the game more immunity from the law,
five pointers are doing the exact same thing: okay, mugs
greatest enemy was the five point leader Paul Kelly, Paul.
was italian but took the name Paul Kelly,
for the same reason monk to delays in its counterpart.
his real name was APOLLO and Tony viscerally. That's a time now that Swedish aka Kelly
from being a professional boxer to a gangster and soon ran the five points. Gang Paul was good
with great hair and dressed impeccably. He spoke for life,
which is total opposite of monk. Okay. How are we going to look at this ganglia? I mean, I guess, that's. Oh yeah, you like that shit
That's it! That's not! That's! That's a nice looking man
the two actually like each other personally positive monk
he's a soft, easy gone fella, but as a gang of cowards bind him second story: men, flat robbers and a mall, Buzzer's air.
buzz right, mall, buzzer! Look that up. I guess wow.
I'm sure it has added. While you know what I mean, I'm Malta's Emma while Molly
oh mall, and what is that to her? What feels like.
sure small, the ammo allow more more
Bosnia, indifferent.
More
All buzzer
I'm gonna go.
at admit on April, unable thirteen Nigeria one to five point gang members, Peggy and James Donovan Peggy's, a guy
The brothers obviously shirt.
they came into the silver dollars loom? We're monk was drinking,
Peggy shot at monk he missed hitting
Gerald SAM Samuel Franklin, but a
pocket watch, that's really happens. New
oh there's backstory in that and that that back eyes movie, my grandpa gave me this
did keep it I didn't want to, but two weeks ago, two centres goes: there keep it, and now it's
if my life
YO slightly wounded, but not totally worried. I had no idea what fucking time it was from then on nobody there.
Time is flawless, Slayer.
Now is saying for prostitute, o interesting,
some miles a sex work, more buzzer, more buzzer
but there was a buzzer. Maybe
they have sexism or maybe,
inches or maybe the amazing, a pimp he's talking yeah, that's kind of what I was thinkin media. Ok, there's
I points skies did they have hats.
Asimo yeah. That guy does not there's one guy. It feels like it showed up for the picture, an asshole and a half day at his ties. All I can do every day was had to that's true. I.
So monk after the shooting happens, monk runs out in the street and the Donovan's chase him and they catch him and then
He pressed his gun against monk, stomach and shot twice Jesus monk than
perhaps on the sidewalk and James shot him behind the ear holy Shit
police arrived James
twice at one of the copse. Before other cops, tackle them
I got away monk,
how still alive.
Days in very wounded, started to walk board. That's not
good time. The walk goes going further. What I say is strong evidence of eyes up.
I gotta, go you're vegetables, whereas zoo by making. I wish there were loose lives of israeli walking either is like you know,
I can make use of the threat to stagger so sure I gotta go. He heads too,
Guph nurture governor hospital about a mile. Ok, you seem like a mile to the hospital, yet he plus,
the holes with his finger watch. Lousy sticks, aiming anger of yeah is damning, he's barely fingering at zero. The boy put the finger
like here and now, but with his tummy there's holes there. Now that shouldn't be there he's giving himself a jack, Horner Belike, that's right, he's been.
bowling ball, and yet is absolutely bawling Balikh itself,
perform surgery on him and remove the bullets. He was not what about the fingers of the figures. They could not get. Ok he's not expected to survive, so he gave his statement and named as attackers. Ok,
two days later, the narratives report
that Edward Eastman, who lived at one or one first street, had died a good address, yeah sure, but he wasn't actually death now.
He was in critical condition, or he was four weeks and he survived
when he realized he was actually gonna. Live he recanted his death bed Stepan and said he would not testify against whoever shot him streak of yeah, squealer sure and life. Yet
at these squealing daddy's with everyone else dead at threat? They are.
So a week after he got out of the hospital, a woman learned a five pointer out of a bar where he was shot and killed. Police said monk had gotten his man, okay,
the five pointers and the EAST men's battled for territory. They had street fights. It was this
as a quote: vicious fight for supremacy, the greatest and most bloody of a generation and the three Lois Wards of the city, several gang
where's your killed. The disputed territory between the Bowery was
In the Bowery and a bar impel street,
If the chinese immigrants in opium guns that's area, there
four years ago, so carry
it would send patrols into the territory? With these
Actions to beat up or shoot any one from the other gang, ok,
so there were a lot of small battles which turned into one huge one. In September. Nineteen o too so a five point
rob and beaten one night and then the next night and Eastman gang member was beaten so badly. He died
murdered
from what I have read in the Lion King Andrew
yeah,
Ok, so
we have another nope, and this is all in the territories.
It is predominantly like the chinese section yeah, so they're happy about this influx too they're like oh, that's, cool yeah, and there are immigrants. There's no really chinese gangs, yet just like most of the opium dens for the the the white guys, don't smoke right
there you go man I would be so into the opium dyno good. Lord now he'd have to peel me off of those chicks around
so sixties men's the next night go into Chinatown splendid Zagreb,
Looking for five pointers. They had pistols knives and slung shots,
Why should I think? It's like a really big slingshot at the like fucking top, throw
Rex within she could just fire another guy. It remained this long shot. Let's go boys,
one group medical,
I pointers at White and Walker streets and they shot and through bricks at each other. They kept
In writing. Although empty Broadway there, the remit
the police who started fighting both gangs and they stop the right. But the fight
started again and white and demonstrates the cops, rushed down and put an end to it. They conflict
thirteen guns, six knives and three blackjacks. So please,
patrolling the area in groups of five pounds.
on the knots of fighters at every opportunity in sending them to prisons in groups and that finally stopped. Ok, briefly,
five days later. Ok, the fighting for it up again and thirty. Five five corners attacked a pool room that was an Eastman hang out. Monk was there came the
fighting went on for ten minutes. Three gang members were put:
out of the second floor windows. One was in
gang member who died from a fractured skull. That will tell you that
he has- and oh you know way, ten minutes in fighting. That's fucking, crazy or hours yeah. It's really exhausting yeah using road
ass the movie right. I've lived, roadhouse yeah, me Jack, so it's like that here come at me with it. I've seen rode out the cards
arrived and arrested twenty nine people? They found
again, so once the the would will run and everyone just throw the gun on the ground that we found another one, there's a gun. For you know some places have scientists on the faces and cue officer. Peanut shells
the the dead rabbits used to play, pool
guns to intimidate me. Well, that's a
game, where you really have to be aware and shooting of all our behind you
monk
others were arranged the next day. The prosecutor describe them, as quote a disgrace to the city was, you know,
but monks attorney was an Ex assemblymen who said there are just quote: innocent boys arrested without cost gentlemen. There they like either twenties
just a bunch of young misguide entry and swallowed. It might look. Monks, moist mashed, potato head monkey over. You sorry use my mom.
I now during this time the Eastman's were also fighting with the yucky aches sure I was going to ask where the Yankee eggs were Yankee eggs.
they were gang who, following independence, funding under the five points. Ok, there are also much smaller gang. There were led by big Dave, Bernstein sure they
nightly battles, one eyed big day was shot a few minutes after he had gone
I talked a monk
will he wouldn't name anyone quote anyway. I'll settle my own scores. The doctors there were like good, ok
but they are just sleep will see when we guess can also take your fingers out of your heart. I care not to get him out. That's how
you do it in the city, their songs.
Course. These myths then shot into big Dave saloon from the outside
to a Yankee eggs were seriously wounded. Nineteen year old kid twist.
the used to I love is fierce. There's solo stuff is great. Kid
was low.
Kid twist was Lieutenant Eastman gang. He was arrested and he said
yeah in self defense, sure and
No witnesses would come forward a counter his story, so he was released cheese. That's a great! I mean that it is a good code. If you are these guys yeah, knowing what hours fine,
then an Eastman name, Patty, the snake was beaten by a group led.
I bill argument. Mc Cannon needs
new sitting on gold
He didn't. It is a way through the parties.
Patty, which is a fun games to plan the school. I love Patty, snake Patty, snake Patty. The snake was beaten by a group led by bill argument. Magnum keep bet sterile.
Did you get that name? How'd you get that day right bill settled, usually what'd. You request. He asked me if I'm someone down on that certainly is a higher bill asked for
who told you? I wonder if I can be reviewed in two minutes ago. You ordered two minutes. I wanted to buy a problem.
I mean what you say, I have a problem.
Bill. I don't away you're angry this guy just brought you bear my agreed anybody right now, I'm not angry at anybody. You ve pushing back on everything intervention you're pushing you are you're, you're pressure Variant Haven.
This country bill we still on for tonight, yeah
interesting twist. You think you're going
or take the achilles
and so at the hospital Patty the snake told the cops quote: ain't no squeal or I will attend to the matter myself. You know who would always tattle was PT the squeal or Peter this griller. I didn't know there was a wide range of names and contact information. What fans want to hear how boy are sitting the day is over fellows
Think we gotta get rid baby.
squeal. What's the prime of shit radio here guys, there's no problem, then. First of all, your name is really bad here, but
only got it on account of the way I act Euro Squealer, why
but you're the one who stand that guy two weeks ago. That's a good example of what you shouldn't be doing in the gang.
Ok, now that I know better, what are you doing? Oh, what are you whispering? Nothin?
just was nothing: let's have a meeting once popcorn
They just was invented. I maybe
how can see you guys later
you're, not going anywhere yeah her eye,
There's a good mean no hay,
everybody right? Don't you contact information he Jimmy,
yeah, but you won't take care, is no brambles
oh you did a view
who these bands that may
I do
So when Patty Hospital, two days later, he
he went to wait at bill, the arguments place, sure
a bill argument shut up, petticoat Presty revolver to the base of his skull and blew off the top of his head Jesus Christ, whose are you are now well bill,
nobody bills. Bill's done.
Please started now making raids to stop the Yankee Jake's and the east winds from fighting
now some of the pool rooms were set up. Like labyrinth so
Cobb's cops broke through the armored doors of one. They found themselves in a room with three doors. What they were
welcome police officers
this time, the Jews, so they broke through the first door.
and they found themselves in a room with three doors. Man who money was trip around here low, but do we take? Must
say we did take mushrooms, okay, but we'll be fine. Some tells me with
take another out will be ok, they back
up and tried the second door and found a room with three doors is now a bill
going crazy is going. What the fuck is, this three? Ok, they went.
I can tried the third door and found a room with three doors: fine,
a cop realized. They were over the poorer and he said
Actual than actual floor, they jumped up and make your
say, get our door. You gotta improvise
so
the fighting led the Tammany politicians to crack down. They were worried that an all out war would break out and an appeal
The voters who are pretty indifferent to gangsters killing each other at this point, so they like ours,
she's gonna gangsters, but then, if it saw a war than other people start getting hurt. Okay, so
politician Tom Foley had to sit down with the gangs. Now Tom Foley said, you've got to be a little nervous for that intervention. He's the guy over on the right, the guy who
It's he's wearing a weird bird had yeah
so by them.
that yeah, that's a real that that pictures- those already I met him hall, guys look at them, but your pricks here,
It says it down, he said. While he understood there would be beatings and murders every now and then, as part of the business say, you make an omelet. Sometimes you gotta kill a guy right. We understand, gentlemen, yes, and
and warfare would cause everyone trouble in the fighting. Didn't stop tell me how it stop protecting the gangs, some monk and care,
agreed to end the war Kay.
Tom fully then went out because the reporters are waiting outside because they know the meanings happened, assure and he goes out- and he says quote
representatives. The of these rival factions have been given their words in Serbia.
presented of these of these rival. Factions have given their words that they will never more be bad, that's nice.
What they said right, what an
era. Having a politician come out to talk about how the negotiations between gang factions is gone.
and
an hour without I'll. Take your questions. What the fuck is happening. What I don't know
a thing, ok, etc.
when I came out of my mouth sure yeah, I said: Giggs write it down and we'll be good. That's not out of this operate suck. It will be in the future. Okay, yeah
so
Representatives of these rival factions haven't given their words that they will never more be bad, thus ending the necessity of calling out the police deserves to quell riots and disperse gangs with our pistols, clubs and other weapons.
after the deal was signed,
They went to New Dorp Staten Island to seal the deal with a chowder K. So just
regular com.
adding chowder moments boys and to make an official
let's all her big bowls of charter,
anyone get boys it's time for a bowl clams in liquid,
about to make an official. Once we go to the clam signing
Kelly Monk in a bunch of their followers drank and eight and then headed back on the ferry at midnight? Everyone in their own chowder say
government have they marched through the streets and south very with a brass band fully had paid for
leading them sure there
Hundreds of five pointers started, shooting them revolvers into the air. Here we go so this is the day of the announcement of the russian economy drunk the day of the proclamation, as this is the piazza. This is celebrating the peace announced after the chowder summit. They shouted EVA, have blocked the stage with a brass band hired by one.
the Tammany all rise and
now shooting into the sky shooting into the sky.
And here we are again
as they got there
territory. Fifteen Cobb's tried to restore order. They were badly beaten by the mob. This is again,
the day
The announcement of the end of the day, the shirt
some monk set up a prototype. The mafia would use for generations and the Ark Protection rackets,
wasn't just a legit businessmen there
I wasn't just legit businessmen and that he he did the protection.
He forced thieves, brothel loners gambling has owners
gamblers all the path and the timing
got a cut of everything. So this is the right, the mob, the mob.
Well being that you are the marble as I like to call it that you are like hey give us money and you get you won't they had heard via live your life yeah right. Ok,
I
so
determining hairdresser happy. They got money coming to ensure these guys.
upham, in votes by nineteen hundred monks gang had twelve hundred men in it. That's it that's a hefty.
we're again, especially in this era, twelve hundred twelve hundred they work
then, some clothes drank Topshop booze and had money to burn
Gang United, different types of gangs to further their collective interest, others,
other gangs pay tribute and could be called upon for battle. He had his lieutenants read up reports of the crimes they carried out. Ok,
we're very organise. He's
the first gangsters take advantage of labour disputes. He took money to stop union organizers and be
two leaders after he would off.
Take the money from both sides right, sometimes
She would send a gang members to literally work both sides of a strike as gang members, his he would have guys cracking heads of union guys and also
in the end fighting back right. Ok, don't worry
what's the upside he's? Getting money can and BO said, got it right.
But aren't you like hey, I think we're getting screwed like once. He starts beating your side. Yes, now
right. Ok, it's a ban would get by means of one
I'm payment has now taken on recurring. That's all
Margaret pay off the cops, but one occasion he did not and the cops rated is headquarters they took out
two wagon loads.
brass and is a is that a metric weighing system yeah waiting he metric wings assure they took out
It sounds like a gang member. By the way, what I'm sure was am wagon loads? Hey. How are you not carry this? I could, but I don't have my gear
two hours of brass knuckles, slung shots, blackjacks, nice pistols and other weapons
two agone, those weapons, sure
as monks power grew, he moved the business is business added, lower side and he started collecting debts doing personal vendettas, scaring off businesses and silencing witnesses uptown. So it's quite a portfolio yeah he's killing it yeah. It's versatile one of his lieutenants prices,
flash on the cheek with a knife, a dollar ten dollars,
interesting shot in the leg. One dollar to twenty five dollars inches thick, so both could be purchased for a dollar potentially yeah. If it was the right situation, a well shot in the arm five to twenty five. Okay, so now we're getting up, throwing a bomb five to fifty still possible for five
dollars to get someone to throw a bomb murder.
ten dollars two hundred dollars. So for double the bomb throwing price you could potentially get a murder out of threat. So,
the reason the prize redemption is, in my view, on the lower. You say you don't have a lot of money, but if you're on
if Europe Uptown, you have the cash to pay
quite a sliding scale
because the court's paid off one cop quote Monk Eastman was arrested thirty time, but we never got him dead rights and how to let him go
Am I love continued as he grew more power for all powerfully, collected, more pigeons and cats. He now add,
five hundred pigeons and a hundred cats, so fucked up,
start you think about it. I mean. I know that this point are not a pet storing and is fucked up tat star
I mean essentially is pet store, has rival gangs inside of it gets a nightmare it with the pigeons. With a cat I mean the cancer winning
pigeons aren't doing shit yeah. I guess it's that, but it's not great for the patients, it's not great for the pigeons, but they have numbers, they do have numbers, but they have flight. Okay, yeah I agree
my money on the cat.
now as much as they are by the truce. With the five points, they were still fights happening here in their most between individual gang members.
but on September, fifteenth makes three fighting flared up big time between the two gangs.
Or do you Eastman certify with eight men, the bar, then they
for the Bowery and started more fights, some five.
there's decide to rate and Eastman hang out. The hang out was
I quote. Fifty foot crevice
between two rows of tenements, too great
but to hang out a great name for a joint to a crevice
a crevice than I thought. We will call it that
which were really more of a crevice? Hey you guys?
I found a great spot for a it's. A big, ditch shake guys. We go to the gourd so
So there's the hang out both sides
pull that guns started, shooting each other. A five point I was killed
more and more gang members join the shoot out.
police arrived and both sides shot at them. The street.
Lights were shot out to the cops couldn't see by midnight,
a hundred gang members were shooting at each other Jesus. So this point
Foley like
guys not the play a member, this summit child, you guys, show need our listen. I understand what's happening, we need to get more chowder down the we re now guys we,
Do you know where child and we ate it out a bread bowls? We mention the deal. Alright, hey,
This affects everything the guy
first came shot eight times the gophers came.
Hell's kitchen sure
started. Shooting at both gangs. Interesting one of the gophers would later say quote a lot of the guys was popping at each other. So why shouldn't we do a little poppet ourselves, a it's pretty much the gopher mentality, if you think about it, sort of just like well today, why not fuck it up
please be able to gather a large enough group to head in and as they did gang members through bricks at them from rooftops
the battle then moved enraged along
miles of streets. While the path of this
action and number of casualties was huge, but by that so that people are getting shot
that's right and not gang members rights, just people,
a descent and then finally, they just disappeared in the night and went their own ways. Okay, the dead and wounded were laying in the streets in some cases for hours a five point or died at the hospital from
a gunshot wound and strangulation Winchester where you gonna have a head, your bets Covey basis right, but I
dying from a gunshot from this through
water gang members were locked up, a monk was one of them.
if the name Joe Morris and Joey Morris, he said he was the he was just a passer by just walking by just the I was singing a gun
Then I found I picked it up to tell you. I'm Sherman hidden,
face a lot, but I was sent him Siberia, wow.
Millie flakes gotta face like a frying, PAN, Israel, flat flap
the police would not cannot find one witness. So
two miles
of shooting people getting shot yet again,
but no one is cast, but if you ve watched two miles of the just a war
I knew you'd like now, good God, I've,
me talking about. It results in more street murder, some good
and then the Tammany Hall lawyers came to help. Everyone was let go, but
but so crazy, even Tammany Hall had to deal with it. They threatened to take away above gangs. Protection protection wants
Antonia monk had a face to face. Meeting peace was declared again. What
a vast soup. Do we want to know tat the tears with after Tom
I organised a ball and their monk
they shook hands in the middle of the dance floor, while very
schoolroom, contrary right, ok, but the
the commissioner was finished. He met with these sit inspector, an assistant d, to see what they could do and they said
making rates paid charge.
Six crept cops with neglect of duty, interesting
That's how you know someone Syria
The night after the battle of the five pointers we're holding a fundraiser for the wounded gangsters bills, the gang is holding a fundraiser yeah. Isn't your ability to raise funds pretty much just to go rob? Well? Maybe the community should give back for all the help they receive fair point.
They wore black badges with silver printed letters. That said quote we mourn our loss. Interesting
yes, sort of sweet
cops came to the fundraiser and started beating heads the inspector jump.
table and yelled quote the Paul Kelly Association is dead from now on. The pall care care right. Okay,
The way the inspector told the press quote, I think we have succeeded in putting the Paul Kelly Association out of business yeah. That's right, yeah! Exactly we want to do. Is Neville Chamberlain the moment and that's right right as soon as you feel like it's over mission accomplished, Dun Dun Dun put up the banner the next day, Paul
El, the funeral for one of the dead, five pointers and
Thousand five pointers. Marched to Brooklyn
wow. Obviously he wasn't not a business. The cops hit, the Eastman necks they staked out their hang out.
The cops war disguises they wouldn't be recognized in their uniforms. Re has garbs, oh they headscarves and slouch hats. I don't know and just as true
conductors, Motormen, butchers, printers and straight cleaners, some warfare,
mustaches and fake beards, jeez wow that that that air I mean the fake beard in this era must be a nightmare. It probably was just like a horse tail here like where are you I'm growing it out yeah? So I always forgot about the old mustache before I have a sip of this ale.
then they charged in and started beating me Eastman and made arrests anonymous capital reporter. The gangs were quote
You get a dose of their own medicine. They are going to be beaten within an inch of their lives by the police whenever the slightest excuse is offered so ensure the good guy on the cup right, ok, just buy items, sure cool congrats. Yes,
but all the gang members were released.
the courts, because the courts are all bought off right thanks.
Calm down a bit because an election was coming and Tammany Hall needed com, though
Ellie and an Eastman lieutenant challenge to show it to a boxing match in the cellar below a bar. I, like this Kelly, was outweighed by eighty pounds.
Kay and he be delivering, should ever the guy. Now this
was incredibly events and upsetting to the east means, and they now wanted revenge. There's a fair fight,
Oh man, I got be not right.
The election was over the fighting, so
again, an even worse
beaten, had his nose, broken and and and
you're better off
Jesus you had taken here, man
they'll, do everything you can you gotta get in there you gotta fight, you get a stab.
Like if I lose an ear in a fight at so I'm retiring from fighting, there's the cops look at them boy.
Monk, told Kelly
to exact rep retribution on his own man, or he would ok,
Tammany Hall help peace talks again
time they agreed to settle their differences in the ring. Ok,
Paul Kelly and Monk Eastman we'll have a barren knuckle fight. The winner would get the disputed territory holy shit. We what come on Israel,
I was dying,
they held the fight one night in the Bronx. Everyone took the train up and walk two miles to the site: the Rep
from a rival gang who had no affiliation with either. I love that it's like,
While he is a gang member, he doesn't care.
either one of our gangs? That's right! You don't have a choice and from this
Rabbits, okay, yeah! You could call it buddy Tokay
inviting died.
Tell you what I you know when you're out there take a couple of pews, a pigeon and a cat gimme a couple of fear. Coal charges killed, pigeon
You gonna forget fat. Kid awesome
It's a says: you got associated the animal feline, that's autism tell you,
remember, make his counter.
but shorter than mine. Ok, do there's another cabinet
sell by you, hey Buddy, it's ok! It's ok! Now
This is a dog I'm talking here: mom
was stock ear and five inches taller than Paul Kelly, so Paul Kelly was forfeit too.
the poor Kelly was started out as a boxer before returning gangsters, ok, boss,
tat, a corner man sure a cut me
a command economy. Him each round went on until one father was knocked down. Ok,
The coroner man had a minute to wake up as guy or the fire was over a k, a minute, a minute
so city prominent yeah, both mugging
Well he went down multiple times but were able to keep fighting the fight went on for close to two hours holy shit yeah, it's not great. It's really bad. This is a bad thing. Wow yeah they
I only both collapse from exhaustion but kept trying to hit each other from the ground. Okay. So how does that work? The I don't care, it's kind of sleeve fight Mm Mm, a kind of thing right and then lay there were pulled.
I am, the fight was declared a draw so desired me right.
So it means that nobody winds in the end the disputed territory still up for grabs. Ok,
Sorry you some some said it was fix, but they had a sad,
I bet I will. They also show the two hours some assurance I've ever seen,
in nineteen o four monk in a buddy Chris Wallace saw Shit
This guy come out
Jack's, all night restaurant.
He stand on the street and the guy takes out of money in stark, starts counting well, so this man is asking to be Ryan, yelling raw me so much money
and while I saw two guys standing near by about two rob him, so they stepped in and robbed him first now, which is the nice thing to do yet step in and you
at the crime. That is wrong with the bad guys. Do your hometown yanks advantage,
they take the guy's money, but the other two guys you weren't robbers turned out there are pinkertons,
who had been hired to keep an eye on the junk. I who was a rich kid one of weird,
situation, that is to yeah so the pig,
I just started shooting in ok, they're Pinkerton right.
Mugen Wallace pulled out their guns and shot back no one's in each other, because a monk I'm all right,
They ran and shot as they went as the pig
hence chased it shot back, but
The only damage that occurred from the shooter was when monk ran out of bullets and threw his gun at a Pinkerton and it smashed through the window of a star and onto a tea cup set.
oh, no, my de madam
while there was no doubt the English are upset, oh yeah, well aware you could do or do one, but it was secretary tobacco, good t, shirt.
You ve crossed her line. They come
happened to be there in a hitman, come ahead and knocked him out. K monk woke up in jail
and, as usual, he didn't give a shit. They figure about sound right. The problem, though, was the pinkertons
it would not take money to change.
The story,
and they wouldn't be intimidated. That's a problem here
So all of a sudden, he had a high bail slapped on that. No one could pay Magua charges
tended murder, first degree and assault
and then he got hit with another charge. You're trying to kill a guy to exert earlier, and also a ruined Catherine found. Another fell under geek up, there's more with full sources, shy of fourgette. Now
nope.
Monk was found guilty of assault. In the first degree, he got ten years in sing sing while
when he heard the sense he was
concerned about his pigeons. I like
can't. I can't not love honest man. He asked the girl,
allow him to remain in the tombs until he could find someone to take care of his five hundred birds and the judge was like alright. This is a
at a time. I don't care what it
as he was being taken to prison, a crowd of five thousand gathered to say goodbye kid twist.
Tried to run the east means, while monk was imprisoned, but he was shot dead on May fourteenth,
Louis the lump. Let's leave elaborate the cheese
Who is a five porter? They fought over a woman
I was never able to take advantage of monk being gone. Ok what you think you would then
they are completely take over right,
our two attempts Kelly's life in nineteen o five. Once you a stab in the back,
now the time he was shot three times
even though he was wounded. He was seen quote running down the Bowery Hatless in the direction of the Occidental hotel. What is this? What's this plan? What's wrong with that man, he does that yeah right, that's what everyone is talking about is about is as bleeding as he's bleat he's been shot three times the good Lord have does heart. Hopefully someone shoot em, all good. Someone has probably add related Kelly's info.
Once became less and less pleased came under more pressure to crack down on the gangs. The five point- five
its headquarters was shut down. The gang
decline. They move from five point two midtown Kelly,
They ve been further Uptown China Hoddan Sixteen Street and started working as a labour organizer. He became by
president of the long, Sharm its association and changes name back to
APOLLO a vessel really sure he get one for north
as crime and one in labour. Ok is, what's nice them
not very rare,
is raising the guys who started at least two guys monk got out in June. Nineteen o nine. There is no one waiting farm. My came out of prison,
to farmer there who offered work boy more eager replacement.
after you like pigs, ear, you got a job
is there anyone else here, just shoot me.
So, when I went in, I was so popular. It just seems
one bed. What's the deal you pigs, I've answer that question one bit me over the pigs,
thus did did you did people think I'm getting out later.
No one here, but me your friend piglet
Your name again is pigment.
We're eyes are open, so that is particularly troubling are used.
Leaping. Are you
oh, my god you're the pig. Aren't you
They told me about guys, like you inside
job. Don't you look dude, I'm not pig banging you, ok, no one!
I'm not playing slam pig. I've heard about this game. Now right, fine, come on getting a trick. You consider from with big day
and he said, take the job he reported to of a job yeah. He walks outside had and there's just shut up. He walked outside and there's a fucking farmer waiting for him. He, the first thing he says is: do you want to come work for a simpler time at just two simple? Also
the good that x cons, Google jobs. I just look. I think he needed Zapruder gymnasia just
quick an option, some options, but he's
it's on parole and he needs to have a job. A reporter that parole officer Dave. If a dude is just got. I've got to pick mask on his part of anonymous. Okay, alright, so he takes, he meets a guy, the first guy he meets he's like yeah yeah. Let's go to your farm and it's up he has to. He has to see his parole officer of the state
that's all it works on. You know. There's not any problem with this.
In September, he went to a hospital for quote some internal trouble, which is causing me agony. Monk did yeah okay, when his clothes were off. The doctor asked him if he had been in a war because of all the scars sure
I said: yes, a half dozen whores on the lower east side. Eh hey, I got still got the funnies after his parole
he headed in the Ark pigeons are gone. Sure is category.
No one wanted to have much to do with the old
answers. No, he was,
he knew were gone or in jail or dead tenant
didn't give a shit. He had no power
started selling opium and then doing opium cops
old scores by beating him up all the time people
constantly were informing on him.
his people hate him from back in the day. I'll just lie: imitation still
married again Kay,
she was just twenty he's like forty case
the cops crackdown on gangs again because there is another flap of fighting and monk- was a big name for the poor
so they arrested him our opium charges and he got eight months when it was really
the cops set. If he came near New York, they would beat him daily and who is awaiting outside of
the prison. When he came out
The pig manner was yet another. Was it somewhere?
It just like live up in the mountains, and I need it.
I hope we count rocks well.
You gotta go Asians that a job here.
A shorter. How does that pay a page in rocks? You get to keep all the weird shape.
