- Reports of the labor troubles in the port of New York were Heard to-day in the Fifth avenue court, Brooklyn, when Frank Madden, former pugilist and Business Agent Local No. 856 of the International Longshoremen's Association, was charged with the murder of Dennis J. Meehan, an alleged gangster who was slain while he slept on Wednesday afternoon in his rooms at No. 452 Warren Street, Brooklyn. Madden, thirty-three, who lives at No. 440 East 147th Street, the Bronx, pleaded not guilty. At the Time Meehan was slain, he said he was in a conference in Manhattan on the subject of the strike of coastwise longshoremen. The police say they have learned that on the day before the killing, Meehan went to Manhattan and talked with several people in a plan to “break” the strike.
