his activities at the Stag Cafe, Dan was also involved in illegal gambling, and was later involved in the 1912 murder trial of Charles Becker. The Stag Cafe was purchased from Dan the Dude by Chick Tricker, a one time leader of the Eastman Gang, who renamed it the Cafe Maryland. It later became the location of a gangland shooting referred to by Herbert Asbury as the "Ida the Goose" affair. A fictional character of the same name, played by Arthur Stone in the 1928 silent film Me, Gangster, may have been loosely based on him.
