Described in a 1932 Bureau of Investigation letter as 'the third member of the Purple Gang doing a life sentence' in the murder case involving Irving Milberg and Harry Keywell, and in a 1939 FBI letter as sent to Marquette prison for the 'Collingwood Massacre'.

The family and role lines quote the 1932 Bureau letter. The 1932 letter does not name the killing; the 1939 letter calls it the Collingwood Massacre. No court record of the case is filed here, and no filed record gives his birth or death.
