Dutch Schultz
Dutch Schultz (born Arthur Simon Flegenheimer; August 6, 1901October 24, 1935) was a New York City-area German Jewish-American mobster of the 1920s and 1930s who made his fortune in organized crime-related activities, including bootlegging and the numbers racket. Weakened by two tax evasion trials led by prosecutor Thomas Dewey, Schultz's rackets were also threatened by fellow mobster Lucky Luciano. In an attempt to avert his conviction, Schultz asked the Commission for permission to kill Dewey, which they refused. When Schultz disobeyed them and made an attempt to kill Dewey, the Commission ordered his murder in 1935.
==Early years==
Arthur Simon Flegenheimer was born to German Jewish immigrants Herman and Emma (Neu) Flegenheimer, who had married in Manhattan on November 10, 1900.〔Manhattan Marriage Book, #18593〕 He had a younger sister, Helen, born in 1904. Herman Flegenheimer apparently abandoned his family, and Emma is listed as divorced in the 1910 census.〔U.S. Census 1910, Borough of the Bronx, Supervisors District 1, Enumerator's district 1597, sheet 2〕 (In her 1932 petition for U.S. citizenship, however, she wrote that her husband had died in 1910.〔Petition for citizenship, Emma Flegenheimer, District Court for the Southern District of New York, #236144〕) The event traumatized Schultz, and he always denied his father had left them.〔http://www.NewYorkCityGangland.com〕 Schultz would drop out of school in the 8th grade to help support himself and his mother. From 1916 to 1919, he worked as a feeder and pressman for the Clark Loose Leaf Company, Caxton Press, American Express, and Schultz Trucking in the Bronx.〔http://www.NYCGangland.com〕 He then worked at a neighborhood night club owned by a minor mobster, and began robbing craps games before turning to burglary. Schultz was caught breaking into an apartment and sent to the prison on Blackwell's Island (now called Roosevelt Island). A photograph of Schultz at age 18, during his incarceration, was published in the 2010 book "New York City Gangland."〔
The prison staff soon found their new prisoner to be unmanageable and transferred him to the work farm in Westhampton, New York. He managed to escape, but was recaptured and two months were added to his sentence. He was paroled December 8, 1920.〔
Flegenheimer went back to work at Schultz Trucking and was soon associating with known criminals. When they asked his name, he told them he was "Dutch" Schultz. (Dutch is a corruption of "Deutsch", and does not refer to the inhabitants of the Netherlands.) With the enactment of Prohibition, Schultz Trucking began smuggling liquor and beer into New York City from Canada. After an argument, Dutch left Schultz Trucking to work for Schultz's Italian competitors.
