Leader of Chicago Bunko Men Dies After Long Illness
Dickie Dean, blamed by police for pioneering the so called explosion front and the turning of the Masonic Temple scams, dies in Chicago after a long illness. A North Side native and once part of the Market Street gang, Dean shifted from confidence games to shell operations and slot machines before taking a city hall job as laws ended his constable years. His activities helped trigger a citywide police crackdown that dispersed the gang after Detective Luke Coller’s arrest attempt on Randolph Street.
