Murder Inc. hitman Harry Maione...



Item # 715228

April 03, 1940

NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, April 3, 1940

* Murder Inc. hitman Harry Maione
* District Attorney William O'Dwyer


The front page has a two column heading: "Maione of Murder, Inc., Offers To Talk; O'Dwyer Won't Listen" with subhead. (see images)
Complete with 44 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.

wikipedia notes: In 1940, Reles became an informant for the State of New York. He then implicated Maione and Abbandando in the horrific slaying of Rudnick. According to Reles, the men supposedly killed Rudnick and started stuffing him back in their car. Suddenly, the "corpse" started coughing. To finish him off, Strauss stabbed Rudnick 63 times with an ice pick and Maione buried a meat cleaver in his skull.
