Hole-in-the Wall

The Hole-in-the Wall was a saloon on the corner of Dover and Water Street in New York City, New York.

History

In July 1863, during William M. Tweed's reign as the American Templars' Grand Master, the Master Templar and Assassin hunter Cudgel Cormac worked undercover as the saloon's bartender. As part of Tweed's plan for the Tammany Hall organization he led to enact legislation and take some power over the city, Cudgel witnessed and helped the Bowery Boys, Daybreak Boys, and the Roach Guards gangs agree to a truce and bolster the upcoming Civil War draft protests. Cudgel then met Tweed's slave-servant Abraham, who gave him a message that told him to hunt down an Assassin in the city and intercept what he sought.

Arming himself, Cudgel told the bouncer Gallus Mag to tend to the saloon while he escorted Abraham to Skinny Joe, whom he demanded to take Abraham back to Tweed's house. However, when Abraham saw his daughter Eliza was gone, he returned to the saloon, despite the toll on his body. There, he spoke with Mag, who stated that Eliza came and left after telling the events that happened earlier that day. Abraham left to go back while Mag wished him luck in living through the next day.

Behind the senses

Historically, the Hole-in-the Wall was closed down by the New York police inspector Thomans Woolsey Thorne after Slobbery Jim killed Patsy the Barber in an 1855 bar brawl.
