Excerpt from The American Metropolis, Vol. 3 of 3: From Knickerbocker Days to the Present Time; New York City Life in All Phases
In the house still standing at Number 100 Mott Street the notorious bank burglar Johnny Dobbs kept a place. There he took the proceeds of the Ken sington Bank robbery, and there it was divided. For two days a great package of money was secreted in the wall behind a mirror. This great criminal, who handled at least two million dollars of stolen money, was found dead in a street gutter several years ago.
