Clip joints and crimes haunt New York nights in 1913
A 1913 report recalls a Dallas captain of Harvard crew lured to a Hell's Kitchen clip joint, leading to a police escort and arrests. Four crooks confess, the joint is wrecked, and three men await trial while a fourth is released for lack of evidence. The piece also recounts a near-by speakeasy theft, a taxi driver’s lost earnings, and a vicious busker incident. It closes with a critique of trout and a street-patrolling driver insult.
