Description
Club operator is shot down Bartender faces murder charge In the gaudy world of bright lights, hot-cha and late spots he was known as Frank Little; but the name under which he is being buried today because he gave a bartender back his job, the name that a marble-cutter will carve into stone, is Frank Schifeno. He died on the banquette of Dauphine Street, with the shards of the bullet-shattered light that had burned over a doorway at Number 311 still tinkling to the sidewalk about him. That was nearing 1 this morning, the hour when the little mazda alleys that ape New York's big mazda lane begin to dim their incandescents, for on weekday nights custom is slacking off. Frankie Little had been seated on a stool back of is bar in what was known as the Little club at 240 Dauphine Street; not the gaudy Little club of prohibition days, where wreaths of cigarette smoke curled up toward garish ceiling decorations while the customers sat about a postage-stamp dance floor and drank what was quaintly called Scotch; just a small barroom on Dauphine Street. New Orleans
