2 unusual facts about Bottoms Gang


Bottoms Gang

One of the only survivors of Bad Jack's Williams' inner circle was 25-year-old Frank Hussey, who was a rarity in that he was one of the city's only gangsters to have attended college; he majored in political science and business at St. Louis University.

During one 1906 speech at the House of Delegates, Hussey approached brewing magnate August "Gussie" Busch in order to convince to stop holding up the passage of a bill.
