Peter H. Matthews (1873 – July 21, 1916) was an operator of policy games in New York City. In 1915, agents of Charles Henry Parkhurst's and 45 police officers raided his gambling operations and rounded up a number of persons connected with this crime. Many were known associates of the previous policy king Al Adams. Among them, Matthews and two other ring leaders and were arrested, held in bail of $10,000 (in 2005 dollars, more than $184,000) each, and tried. They confessed, were convicted, and were leniently sentenced. In 1916, Matthews died at a city hospital on Blackwells Island, probably while serving his sentence at the penitentiary there.
