At the January 1915 murder trial of Harvey Callahan,the defense introduced into evidence this expense report which William "Scance" Chambers had submitted to the Plain Dealer shortly before the trial began. The defense contended that the entry labeled "Chian Bunch" referred to money which "Scance" had paid to the Cheyenne Gang to help him exact his revenge against Leader employees for their attack upon him just four days before Gibbons was shot and killed. The Cheyenne Gang was the name of an Irish Street gang that operated in the Gordon Square neighborhood, possibly for generations. At one time in the late nineteenth century, it was known as the McCart Street Gang. | Creator: Cleveland Public Library, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
