Legends of LIC: Thomas M. Quinn
|
This monthly column by Bob Singleton, executive director of the Greater Astoria Historical Society, showcases the characters that have contributed to our community throughout time.
It was midnight, June 1, 1912, and a little drama was being played out in the warden’s office in the old Long Island City Courthouse. The principal actors were Thomas M. Quinn, Queens County Sheriff, and Patrick Whitney, the New York City Commissioner of Corrections. Quinn had before him ponderous volumes of prisoner records, rolls of keepers, the vendor accounts who supplied the jail, and several large bunches of keys.
