Rumble (seat) In Harlem

On this date in 1932, two dead gangsters were found stuffed in rumble seat on 114th Street in West Harlem. According to the Daily News, the gangsters, Wilfred "Wolfy" Burke and Augie Marino, were members of Vincent Coll's gang and wiped out as Coll's enemies finished cleaning out the Mad Dog's confederates.

Burke, 34, had been shot six times. Marino, 33. a total of seven. Both men were accused of shaking down Harlem speakeasies. Supposedly they targeted those that did business with Dutch Schultz or Ciro Terranova's gang. This in of itself, would be enough for a death warrant regardless if they were members of Coll's gang or not.
