Notes
Morris Markus, a former pawnbroker and receiver of stolen property from "Madame Mandlebaum, the notorious fence," now owns a saloon and dance hall; it is also a local hangout where thieves gather. His wife, Rachael, a released Sing Sing prison inmate, is "an expert at picking pockets, and it was said that she had a school in which she instructed young crooks in her art" (p. 14). The University of Rochester has entered its service copy of The Thugs of the Tenderloin ..., microfilmed by the Library of Congress, under W. I. James.
