What is a life-guard to do after beach season? Twenty-five year old Arthur Siegelman decided that bootlegging was the way to go. Arthur was a new comer to the underworld who, after a short stay, vanished and was never heard from again.
Siegelman had no former training in crime and thought bootlegging would be a good way to support his widowed mother and six siblings. He was wrong. Needless to say the neophyte gangster did not last long where the gun and knife rule. What he did to seal his fate is unknown but he disappeared on this day in 1932 and his body was never found.
"He must have done something. They don't kill you for nothing." - Chicago Gangster Ted Newberry. Rubbed out January 7, 1933
