Mad men
On this date in 1927 Sam Raplansky, a thirty-year old member of a
gang called the Madison Street Boys, was hanging out at the mobs HQ, the
Madison Street Boys club, until about 10:00 pm when he left for a
while. At around midnight Sam returned to the clubhouse, which was
crowded with various club members including his brother Harry.
While in the hallway somebody came up to Sam and shot him in the face twice and once in the body.
Rushing into the hallway, Harry and other gang members found Sam and carried him outside to a cab for a rushed trip to the hospital. All was for naught however as
Samuel had been killed instantly.

I heard he was be3hind in his dues. He was probably shot by the club treasurer.
Gotta pay your dues or you're gonna sing the blues.
