American. Murdered. Benjamin Siegel, born in Brooklyn in 1906, hated his nickname, that derived from his volatile temper. He was on the path to organized crime from a very young age, demanding protection money from pushcart vendors.... Luciano ordered to have Siegel killed. On June 20, 1947, as Siegel ast in Hill's living room, he was shot three times in the head... http://www.gangland.net/bugsy.htm The fact that some in attendance at the Franconia meeting - Big Greenie and Bugsy Siegel - were eventually murdered did not alter the interfaith feelings of the combination. Bugsy might well have appreciated the fact that his murder was approved by a combined vote of, to use his words, 'yids and dagos.' http://www.tarquingunnell.co.uk/MafiaPage-JewishMafia.htm
