James T. Ellison born (c. 1861-1920s), better known as Biff Ellison, was a New York City gangster affiliated with the Five Points Gang and later a leader of the Gopher Gang. He was noted for his propensity for physical violence as well as a dapper appearance that led The New York Times to describe him as "looking like a prosperous banker or broker" and contemporary chroniclers as "smooth-faced, high-featured, well-dressed, a Gangland cavalier" and "a fop in matters of dress".

- James T. Ellison born (c. 1861-1920s), better known as Biff Ellison, was a New York City gangster affiliated with the Five Points Gang and later a leader of the Gopher Gang. He was noted for his propensity for physical violence as well as a dapper appearance that led The New York Times to describe him as "looking like a prosperous banker or broker" and contemporary chroniclers as "smooth-faced, high-featured, well-dressed, a Gangland cavalier" and "a fop in matters of dress". Ellison was closely associated with gangster Jack Sirocco during the wars against the Eastman Gang during the early 1900s. In addition to running protection rackets that reputedly gained him a handsome annual income of somewhere between $2,000 and $3,000, Ellison owned or managed several bars and gambling establishments in New York City, including the gay bar and brothel Columbia Hall (aka Paresis Hall) and an illegal pool hall occupying the basement of Ellison's residence at 231 East 14th Street. His nickname, Biff, was a period synonym for "punch" or "hit", and it was coined in response to a youthful fight in which Ellison, then working as a bartender, knocked unconscious a customer who refused to pay for a beer. He was also known as Young Biff, Fourteenth Street Biff, and Biff Ellison II to distinguish him from Frank "Biff" Ellison (1850 — 1904), a minor Manhattan society figure who had been convicted of assault in 1893 and sent to Sing Sing prison. Biff Ellison appears as a secondary character in the 1994 novel The Alienist by Caleb Carr. Carr describes the gangster as homosexual and makes him the central figure in a colorful scene at the gay bar Columbia Hall. (en)
- James T. "Biff" Ellison (1862 – 1920 circa) è stato un criminale statunitense. Fu uno dei primi gangster di New York ed un membro, con aspirazioni di leader, della Five Points Gang. In qualità di veterano della banda, fu molto vicino al suo leader (o Cirocco) durante la guerra con la nei primi anni del Novecento. Il suo nome incominciò ad avere importanza nella banda quando aggredì l'ufficiale di polizia Jeremiah Murphy da Sharkey's, un negozio sulla , e lo colpì così duramente da farlo finire in ospedale per quattro settimane. Ellison fu, così, condannato per aggressione di primo grado nel 1902. Il 23 novembre, 1909, Ellison ed altri tre uomini, tra cui e Jimmy Kelly cercarono di ottenere il controllo della gang tentando di uccidere il leader Paul Kelly mentre questi si trovava nel suo club a New Brighton bevendo con le guardie del corpo e . Sebbene Kelly fosse riuscito a scampare all'attentato, la guardia del corpo Harrington fu ucciso nello scontro a fuoco. Fu condannato dalla Corte Suprema di New York omicidio di primo grado l'8 giugno 1911. Al processo, in cui membri della banda quali Pat Hogan e George Wetzel testimoniarono contro Kelly, circa 50 membri della "James Kelly gang" e 75 della Five Points Gang facevano da spettatori. In dubbio sull'influenza della loro presenza, furono in seguito costretti ad allontanarsi. Durante il processo, Ellison fece delle minacce ad un pubblico ufficiale riguardo Hogan e gli altri accusatori dichiarando che non avrebbe avuto pace "..finché quegli accusatori non avrebbero avuto la loro" se fosse stato trovato colpevole. Morì in un manicomio negli anni venti (la data della sua morte non è certa). Ellison è uno dei personaggi secondari del romanzo del 1994, di Caleb Carr. (it)
