Josh Hines

"Big" Josh Hines was a gangster from the early part of the 20th century who was a member of the Whyos street gang. Gang chroniclers Herbert Asbury (author, "Gangs of New York") and Luc Sante (author, "Low Life") credit Hines as being the first man to hold up a stuss parlor. [Asbury, Herbert.
