"Dutch" Schultz, who
years of age, was born in Man hattan's Yorkville. He left gram- mar school after the sixth grade, became a printer and pressman, then a roofer, a trade he abandon- ed when he was 17. He then took up crime as his career, serving his apprenticeship under the late Juck "Legs" Diamond, and subsequently became a big "noise" in the beer racket.
Tarrified by the Government's pitiless drive against the nation's mobsters, ho went into hiding two years ago, but gave himself up at Albany on Thanksgiving Day last pear after he had been threatened "for a ride" by rival gangsters.
In the course of his infamous career, Schultz amassed a huge fortune, running into nearly a million dollars.
