Its in the Bag

One time Legs Diamond associate Dominick "Wicky" Bifano was found trussed up in a burlap sack in the back seat of a car on this date back in 1932. Prior to his bagging he was shot through the head. Bifano was with Eddie Diamond in Denver back in 1928 when gunmen Joe Piteo and Gene Moran were sent by Dutch Schultz to kill Eddie. Both men nearly escaped being machine gunned.

What Bifano was up to following the death of both Diamonds is unknown but he was well dressed and the recent recipient of a manicure. It was assumed that the foes of Diamond finally caught up with him.
