Joe Bruno's Mobsters - Six Volume Set - Plot & Excerpts
After the funeral, Sharkey and Dunn traveled separately to a saloon owned by Charles Harvey, called “The Place,” located at 288 Hudson Street. By the time Sharkey had arrived, Dunn had already imbibed a few rye whiskeys at the bar. Sharkey ordered a rye himself, and after he knocked it down in one gulp, Sharkey demanded his $600 back from Dunn. Dunn told Sharkey he was tapped out himself, and he couldn't repay the money. Sharkey immediately drew a single-shot Derringer pistol, and he pointed it at Dunn's chest. Dunn screamed, “Don't shoot, Billy! I'll pay you as soon as I can!” Sharkey would have none of that. He bellowed back, “You better pay me now!” Before Dunn could reply, Sharkey fired the Derringer point-blank at Dunn. The bullet pierced Dunn's heart, killing him instantly. Sharkey fled the scene of the crime, but he was captured a few hours later in a boarding house on Washington Street, near Perry Street.
