Summary
Jack was no stranger to being beaten by cops and their off-the-clock buddies, but it got worse after the strike. They knew Jack’s face and Snyder seemed to have plenty of friends outside jail.
They knew Crutchie’s face, was the current predicament, and Crutchie required damn near 24-hour protection from the enforcer-type newsies at this point. Jack could defend himself, and for what it was worth, C could absolutely hold his own in a fight. But against multiple cops? Not even Mush stood a chance of making it out without help.
Jack was the newsie whose drawings shut down the refuge. Crutchie was the kid who everyone seemed hellbent on saving. They were targets #1 and #2.
They were selling in the snow, shouting headlines about killer storms and human-eating squirrels when all down the block they heard an ear-splitting whistle, followed by Albert yelling, “Jack, Mush! Get over here, it’s C!”

Summary
"It wasn’t the fear of “Jack Kelly: Faggot” getting all over the city, but the taking of that fear as a sign that had Jack on his way. Kloppman had been caring but staunch in telling him to find a new living soon, or he would have to kick him out soon after he turned eighteen. His newsie career was at its end. Davey had just been there drunk on New Year’s to really give him that swift kick, and put him on his way. Maybe it was left over from the nuns; how big Jack was on signs.
On January 3rd of the new century Jack Kelly hopped a freighter and lit out for the West."
A non-linear character study of Jack Kelly, centered very much on the historical setting and context
