Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    Organized Crime Figure. He was a Jewish gang leader and labor racketeer in New York City, New York during the 1920s. He gained control of the labor rackets in 1923 when he had Nathan "Kid Dropper" Kaplan murdered outside a Manhattan courthouse. On October 16, 1927, Orgen was walking in front of 103 Norfolk Street with his new bodyguard Legs Diamond, when a black touring car pulled along side him, guns a-blazing. Orgen was killed and Diamond severely wounded, but he lived to die another day. Orgen was buried by his estranged father in a huge cherry-wood coffin, lined with white satin. On the top of the coffins was a silver plate that simply said, "Jacob Orgen - Aged 26 years." Actually he was 34 at the time of his death, but his father considered his son dead eight years earlier, when he could not convince Orgen to get out of the rackets.
