Before he was gunned down in the Palace Chop House in Newark, New Jersey, in October 1935, Arthur Flegenheimer, alias Dutch Schultz, was generally considered New York's Number One racketeer.

His room was guarded around the clock, and a police stenographer was stationed at his bedside in the hope of learning who his assailant or assailants were.
