Gangsters,
train robbery, forgery and prostitution—these misdeeds are more often
associated with New York City or the Wild West, but make no mistake, Syracuse,
New York, has housed its fair share of vice and sinners. A riot prompted
politicians to make Syracuse a city in the first place. A man who billed himself
as “Dillinger the Second” once walked ’Cuse’s streets, and a notorious gangster
boasted of his desire to retire in Salt City. At the end of the nineteenth
century, neither law enforcement nor fervent clergy could stop rampant illicit
gambling. Local author Neil MacMillan tours the city of Syracuse, unearthing
tales of its most infamous residents and their dastardly deeds—from strange
murders to bounty jumpers to vandals.
