হেড ইঁদুর মৃত্যু

William T.”Willie” Egan took over “Egan’s Rats” on the death of his older brother Tom in 1919. Thomas “ব্যাল” Kinney and his childhood friend and brother-in-law Tom Egan formed St. লুই’ criminal organization in the late 1800s. Both Kinney and Tom Egan were saloon keepers and Democratic politicians. They employed “the Rats” for political slugging and other criminal activities.

Thomas Kinney died in 1913. Tom Egan died at 44 years of age in 1919. On the death of his brother, Willie Egan took over leadership of the Rats. Born on June 1, 1884, the thirty-five year old Willie Egan was not as respected as his older brother.

The leader of a criminal organization must ruthlessly hold onto power because there are always younger gangsters who want to be boss. <বিঘত bbox_x = "663" bbox_y = "693" bbox_w = "12" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = " 1916, a feud occurred within “The Rats” that left Thomas “Skippy” Rohan dead in Tom Egan’s saloon. The killing violated one of the cardinal rule of the Rats. You did not fight in the bosses’ saloon.

Tom Egan settled the issue before it became an all-out war but after his death the old feud erupted. Within two years, it would claim the life of his younger brother and cause Max Greenberg to leave St. লুই.

Greenberg came to the Rats from Detroit, Michigan. He was responsible for several murders and taught the Rats bank robbery. After he was sentenced to Federal prison, Willie Egan and Thomas Kinney’s brother Michael secured his release. Greenburg repaid Egan by trying to undercut his bootlegging operation.

মার্চ 11, 1921, Willie Egan repaid Max Greenburg by attempting to shoot him. Greenburg was only wounded but his friend, lawyer and Democratic politician John Sweeney was killed. অক্টোবর 31, 1921, Greenburg got his revenge.

Willie Egan should have been suspicious when Greenburg very conspicuously left town on a noon train for New York with his lawyer. He apparently drew enough of a crowd that numerous witnesses watched him leave.

Later on that evening about 9 বিকাল, Willie Egan was standing in front of his saloon at 1400 ফ্র্যাংকলিন এভিনিউ, when a black sedan pulled up and shot Egan multiple times. Two drivers and a plumber, উইলিয়াম “Dinty” Colbeck, took Egan to the hospital but Egan’s car ran out of gas. Colbeck did own a plumbing shop but he was Egan’s chief lieutenant. He took over the Rats upon Willie Egan’s death.

সর্বোচ্চ Greenburg সংক্ষেপে শহরে ফিরে আসেন. কখন “Dinty” Colbeck took over, Greenburg ভাল জন্য নিউ ইয়র্ক ফিরে. তিনি নিহত হয়েছিল 1933 অজানা হত্যাকারীরা দ্বারা.

The Rats would continue as an organization until 1924 when Colbeck and the other leaders drew long federal prison sentences for robbery. Most organized crime then moved to the counties on the Illinois side of the St. Louis Metro area.
