Death in a Bronx Gutter.
New York -- While stunned spectators look on, an unidentified policeman is shown making notes over the body of a man identified as Eugene Giannini, 42, a Bronx hoodlum with a long police record. The body was found in the gutter in front of 221 East 107th Street. He had been shot in the back of the head and police think the body was dumped into the street from an automobile. Investigating a report that shots had been heard earlier in quarters of the Jefferson Major Athletic Club, police report that blood was found on the floor there during a subsequent investigation. (1952)

"dew yew want FRIES with yer KETCHUP!!!heh heh
A hard life for those who choose that life. Who can say how many men he sent to a similar fate. A "half-assed wiseguy" who died the way he lived.
I don't think 221 West 107th is in the Bronx. (Mr. Giannini was off his home turf, it seems.) That address is in El Barrio, the oldest Puerto Rican neighborhood in New York.
(Sorry--I meant to type "East." 221 West 107th is over near Amsterdam Avenue.)
