He refused to let his face be televised, so the cameras focused on his hands when he testified during the Kefauver hearings in the early 50's. Q. August 6, 1902, Arthur Flegenheimer was born in the Bronx. Under what name did he become famous?

Originally posted by The Iceman: Q. The would be assassin of Frank Costello. A. Vincent "The Chin" Gigante. Luckily for Costello, Gigante's aim was no better than his later act of dementia. Q. Shot to death in a drugstore phonebooth in 1932, this mob killer was supposed to have killed Lucky Luciano on "The Night of Sicilian Vespers".

Originally posted by Don Sonny Corleone: What day was Jack Zuta killed? A. July 31, 1930. Q. February 14th holds a special place in Mob folklore. In 1929 it was made famous for the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. In 1936, one of the shooters of "the Massacre", "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn was shot dead. What mob boss died (in prison) on that date in 1969?
