Ninety-four years ago tonight, a Sunday, a large group of guys
and dolls were lining the stairwell of a lower eastside building waiting
to get into the night club that occupied the third floor. As the band was preparing to play a couple of shots rang out and the throng of people ran
out into the streets. One man, Michael Dimesci, ran across the street
and dropped dead with a bullet in his heart.
Frankie Uale
The
police sent officers to all the hospitals in the area to see if anyone
else showed up. Within the hour Brooklyn mobster Frankie Uale stumbled
into one with a bullet wound to the lung. Uale said he just happened to
be walking by the club when the shooting took place and had no idea what
it was about. Police later asserted that they believed the Brooklyn
Mafioso was the intended target and that Dimesci may have been an
innocent bystander.
