quently mentioned because nil the gunmen
uho arc implicated In tho murdor of Police
man George A ISpplej, aro known as the
Frotr Hollow Musketeers. One who Is not
familiar with that section of tho Bronx
In New York which Is called Krog Hollow
Imagines, from what he has read, that It Is
a collection of dives and caves In which
hide gunmen who havo epeclal fixed prices
for the number of persons they aro to
' get " He pictures the sharp crack of re
ohcr shots coming from some dark alley,
a cry and a groan as tho lctlm gasps his
last.
FILLED-IN SECTION OK LAND
Frog Hollow Is a ftlled-ln section of land
on tho north bank of the Hnrlem RUer,
about flo blocks square, and tho center Is
149th street. It Is filled with tenement
houses, but tho rcsldentH there Insist upon
calling them apartment houseB Bo that as
It may, these abodes aro filled with the
families of hardworking Italian laborers,
with here and there the offlces of nn Italian
physician or dentist, whose fcoclal rating In
the community Is cry high The streets
are black with urchins, who know no other
playground except the freight and engine
yaids of tho New York, New Haen nnd
Hudson lllvor ltallroad Some of the llttlo
Frog Hollow boys can tell jou exactly how
mnnv 'pr(rlp trains uhlzz bv each day.
Ask them If they know anything of the
Frog Hollow Muskctters and they stare at
you In amazement.
NAMED FUOG HOLLOW 30 YUAIIS AGO
The section was given Its peculiar name
about thirty ycara ngo, when the Bronx was
considered n suburb A large hollow cov
eted with acres of marsh land was filled
with Innumerable frogs. Farmers living
In that Uclnlty became bo tired of the
nightly concerts of the bullfrogs that they
banded together and filled In the land Soon
shanties nnd brick huts sprang up and nn
element of the Bowery type took possession
of tho land
Humans formed a band, the solo purpose
of which was to march Into somo peaceful
community nnd practice vandalism They
soon became the terror of residents for
miles around. When the nlarm was spread
that the Frog Hollow Musketeers were com
ing the farmers took down their rifles and
emulated the famous Minute Men
Then n more lucrative Industry arose. A
band of wlhte slaers was organized In one
of these dles. A leader was appointed and
he chose his chief lieutenants. They In turn
recruited agents from among tho gun
flghters and began a wholesale traffic In
souls. Girls were lured to places In tho
vicinity of 149th street and Morris avenue
From there they were sent to arlous cities.
Then, In 1914, a joint campaign to clean out
tho BCttlement was organized by the police
under tho leadership of Captain Andrew
Wines and the Bronx County dctccfUcs
under leadership of Francis Martin, tho
present District Attorney. The leader of
the gang is now serving a sentence of thirty
years In Sing Sing; one of his lieutenants
was given twenty years, and eight or ten
others are patiently waiting for their ten
year sentences to expire.

nen. These men were formnlly Introduced
i l po"ce a year ago, when a gang of
which they aro said to have been members
started a fight In a coffee houso conducted
on 149th street near St. Ann's aenue by a
man named Negbauer. Because he ob
jected to men of nuch character patronizing
V e ihey Btartcd t0 destroy It.
The restaurateur fired a reoher at one
of the ruffians and killed him Instantly. Ho
was later arraigned before the Grand Jury,
but because of tho dead man's criminal
record the bill was Ignored. Negbauer sold
his place, and then tho gang again began
to frequent It.
Such Is their reputation that eory time
a detecthe passes the coffee house he looks
in to see If any of the gang are around. If
they are, he goes In and searches them for
weapons. Those Musketeers on whose per
sons revohers hae been found had ample
opportunity while In prison to study tho
New York laws against carrying concealed
deadly weapons.
That they profited by their legal knowl
edge was borne out on tho aiui.imy morn
ing before the raid on tho Flnlcttcr Club.
At 1'30 n. in. Detective Flaschettl was
passing the coffee house, when lie saw
eighteen or twenty men gathered there.
Falcone and the rest were among them.
They were searched as usual, but no
weapons wcro found on them. They later
congregated In a saloon near 165th sttcet
nnd Third aenue,
According to the confession of Bed (alias
"Whltey") Burkhart, that is where they
met and started for Philadelphia Tuesday.
The police Bay that these coffee-house pro
prietors try to discourage such fellows from
gathering In their place, but aro fearful of
tho vengeance with which theso toughs
threaten them.
Slnco the Uppley murder Detectives
Clark, Bonano, Casso and Flaschettl, of

VISIT TO "JIMMY TIH3 FLASH'S" HOME
Let us take a little journey through the
Bronx to sea the homes of theso gunmen.
We, will leave tho Bronx County Jail, nt
Tremont and Arthur avenues, and go to
the address given by "Jimmy the Flash,"
Or Ilugglo Falcone, as his home. He gave
44: Hast 142d street as Ms address, and
said that ho boarded there. The boarding
mistress answers the knock on tho front
door.
"Well, what do ye want?"
"Does 'Jimmy the Flash' live here?"
"No, he ain't been here for eight months.
Where Is he? I got a lot of letters ad
dressed to Jimmy under the name of Jim
Leo. If you see htm, tell him to come up
and get them."
Our next stopping place Is an apartment
houso at 7G1 St. Ann's nenue. In tho
vestibule we find a setles of pushbuttons
with names of tenants over them. Wo
search for tho name of Burkhart and find
It. A touch of tho button Is answered In
a few minutes by a tick-tack as the door
is automatically released by some one up
stairs. Three flights up, nnd we gropo through
a dark hallway, A knock on tho door Is
answered by a kindly Invitation to enter.

Wo hastily say good-by, and ns. wo
