The notorious Welch gang, introduced in yesterday's blog post, merit another mention in the newspaper some eight years later. By this time, some notable members of the gang had already been tried, convicted, and sentenced, among them gang leader, Jack Welch who was serving his time in Michigan. Of special note is the location of their hideout, in the vicinity of Brighton Beach and the use of the slang expression signifying that the gang had "blown" the town.
Wow And I was a member or the 3rd St. gang that was notorious for running around in the Tissue Mills warehouse back in the 60s.
