Jimmy Kelly (saloon keeper)
Giovanni de Silvio or Jimmy Kelly (fl. 1900-1914) was an American saloon keeper, political organizer and underworld figure in New York City during the start of the 20th century. He was the owner the Fourteenth Street saloon ''The Folly'' as well as the popular ''Mandarin Cafe'' in Chinatown, located in the notorious "Bloody Angle" along Doyers Street,〔Batterberry, Michael. ''On the Town in New York: The Landmark History of Eating, Drinking, and Entertainments from the American Revolution to the Food Revolution''. New York: Routledge, 1998. (pg. 218) ISBN 0-415-92020-5〕 and was a hangout for politicians, gang leaders and other noted criminals of the era. His cafe was also the scene of several violent incidents, especially during the Tong War, which included, in 1910, the fourth attempted suicide of Chinatown character John "Dippy" Rice 〔"His Fourth Attempt To Die.; " Dippy" Rice Calls His Sweetheart on the Telephone and Shoots Himself". New York Times. 25 December 1910〕 and the 1912 murder of Hen Ken Yum, the latter a high-level member of the On Leong Tong and a lieutenant of Mock Duck.〔"Mock Duck Dealer Slain In His Bunk; Wounded in Previous Tong Encounter, He Had Been Hidden in 13 Doyers Street". New York Times. 15 July 1912〕
He himself controlled a small gang of thugs-for-hire and was an ally of the Eastman Gang, particularly Jack Zelig, but later became involved in an underworld rivalry with Chick Tricker and Jack Sirocco.〔Asbury, Herbert. ''The Gangs of New York''. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927. (pg. 308) ISBN 1-56025-275-8〕 For several years, he feuded with Tricker and Sirocco over control of Chinatown's graft and was the main competitor of their establishment ''The Flea Bag''. He became a major political organizer for Tammany Hall, successful in taking power in Chinatown following the arrest of Monk Eastman in 1904, and was eventually awarded control of the district by Tammany politicians. Both Tricker and Sirocco resisted Kelly's attempts to take over but were forced out after a police raid led to the close of ''The Flea Bag''.
==1905==
In May 1905, he was assaulted in the Bowery near Great Jones Street by members of the Five Points Gang under Paul Kelly. Although he received only minor injuries, bouncers from ''The Folly'' and ''New Brighton'' began fighting each other resulting in three men being stabbed and the murder of "Eat 'Em Up" Jack McManus. Both Kelly and Tricker were both assaulted in separate incidents shortly before McManus's murder, Kelly being stabbed in the back with a stiletto on First Avenue near Fourth Street.〔"Eat-'Em-Up M'Manus Killed In Gang Feud; End of Notorious Bouncer, Formerly of Suicide Hall, Bowery Bands' Deadly War Shootings and Stabbings the Outcome of Rivalry Between the Kelly and the Five Points Adherents". New York Times. 27 May 1905〕
