"Dapper" Danny Hogan (1880-1928)

Known as the Irish Godfather of St.Paul , Dan ran the Green Lantern Saloon and was the leader of the underworld until he was murdered.Dapper Dan stepped behind the wheel of his Paige coupe and turned the ignition. A bomb located beneath the floorboards detonated and blew off his right leg. He slipped into a coma at the hospital and died nine hours after the blast. He was given a funeral worthy of Prohibition-era Chicago before being buried in Calvary Cemetery.Hogan's death was especially notable because it was one of the first instances of death by a car bomb. The most likely culprits in his assassination were rival mob figures. Too the left is Danny Hogan's house.
