Wickedest Man in New York Allen Taken to Sanitarium
NEW YORK Oct 12 The famous public figure known as the wickedest man in New York has been committed to a sanitarium as he nears 70. He had a life marked by defiance of police and a controversial career in dive operations and poolrooms. Despite arrests, he never served prison time, and his charitable acts included funding funerals for hundreds of poor families. He honored a fierce reputation yet remained unconvicted in the courts, with a tragic note in his past involving the shooting of his partner Edward Malloy in 1870.
