Dutch Schultz(bornArthur Simon Flegenheimer; August 6, 1902– October 24, 1935) was aNew York City-areaJewish-Americanmobster of the 1920s and 1930s who made his fortune inorganized crime-related activities, includingbootleggingand thenumbers racket. Weakened by two tax evasion trials led by prosecutorThomas Dewey, Schultz\'s rackets were also threatened by fellow mobsterLucky Luciano. In an attempt to avert his conviction, Schultz askedthe Commissionfor permission to kill Dewey, which they refused. When Schultz disobeyed them and made an attempt to kill Dewey, the Commission ordered his murder in 1935.

Gangland legend has it that, still suspicious of Luciano after the Weinberg betrayal, Schultz soon went before an emergency meeting of the MafiaCommissionand asked permission to kill his enemy, U.S. AttorneyThomas Dewey. While some Commission members, includingAlbert AnastasiaandJacob Shapiro, supported Schultz\'s proposal, the majority were against it on the basis that the full weight of the authorities would come down on them if they murdered Dewey, and they voted unanimously against the proposal.Bonanno family bossJoseph Bonannothought the idea was \"insane.\" Schultz was furious at the vote, accusing the Commission of trying to steal his rackets and \"feed him to the law.\" Schultz left in a rage, and the Commission decided to kill him to stop the Dewey hit.CalabrianimmigrantAlbert Anastasiawas ordered to arrange Schultz\'s elimination, and he sent Jewish mobsterLouis Buchalterto handle it.

At 10:15p.m. on October 23, 1935, Dutch Schultz was shot at the Palace Chophouse at 12 East Park Street inNewark, New Jersey,which he used as his new headquarters. Two bodyguards and Schultz\'s accountant were also killed.

Schultz was in the men\'s room whenCharles WorkmanandEmanuel \"Mendy\" Weiss, twohitmenworking for Buchalter\'sMurder, Inc., entered the establishment. Accounts vary as to what happened next, specifically regarding the order in who killed Schultz and his men. Workman\'s later account of entering the bathroom to find Schultz either urinating or washing his hands suggests he managed to slip past Schultz\'s men and that Schultz was either shot first or else Workman and Weiss opened fire at the same time.

Workman fired at Schultz twice. One bullet struck him slightly below his heart, and ricocheted through his abdomen before exiting the small of his back. Schultz collapsed onto the floor, and Workman joined Weiss in the back room of the restaurant. Both men then fired several times at Schultz\'s gang members:Otto Berman, Schultz\'s accountant;Abe Landau, Schultz\'s chiefhenchman; and Schultz\'s bodyguard,Bernard \"Lulu\" Rosencrantz. Berman collapsed immediately after being shot. Landau\'scarotid arterywas severed by a bullet passing through his neck, while Rosencrantz was hit repeatedly atpoint blank rangewith00 lead buckshot. Nevertheless, both men rose to their feet and returned fire, driving the assassins out of the restaurant. Weiss jumped into the getaway car and ordered the driver to abandon Workman. Landau chased Workman out of the bar and emptied his pistol at him, though he missed. Workman fled on foot, and Landau finally collapsed onto a nearby trash can.

Shortly after Workman fled, Schultz staggered out of the bathroom, clutching his side, and sat at his table. He called for anyone who could hear him to get an ambulance. Rosencrantz, who had collapsed while chasing Workman, rose to his feet and demanded the barman (who had hidden during the shootout) give him five nickels in exchange for his quarter. Rosencrantz called for an ambulance before he lost consciousness.

When the ambulance arrived, medics determined Landau and Rosencrantz were the most seriously wounded of the men and took to the hospital immediately. A second ambulance was called for to take Schultz and Berman. Berman was unconscious, but Schultz was drifting in and out of lucidity, as police attempted to comfort him and get information. Because the medics had no pain relievers, Schultz was givenbrandyto relieve his suffering. When the second ambulance arrived, Schultz gave one of the medics $10,000 in cash to see that he received the best treatment. After surgery, when it looked as if Schultz would live, the medic was so worried that he would be indebted to the mobster for keeping the money that he shoved the money back in bed with Schultz.

Otto Berman, the oldest and least physically fit of the four men, was the first to die, at 2:20 that morning. At the hospital, Landau and Rosencrantz waited for surgery and refused to say anything to the police until Schultz arrived and gave them permission; even then, they provided the police with only minimal information. Abe Landau died ofexsanguinationeight hours after the shooting. Meanwhile, Rosencrantz was taken into surgery; the doctors, incredulous that Rosencrantz was still alive despite voluminous blood loss and ballistic trauma, were unsure of how to treat him. He survived for 29 hours after the shooting before succumbing to his injuries.

Before Schultz went to surgery, he received thelast ritesfrom aCatholicpriest at his request. During his second trial, Schultz decided to convert to Catholicism and had been studying its teachings ever since, convinced thatJesushad spared him prison time. Doctors performed surgery but were unaware of the extent of damage done to his abdominal organs by the ricocheting bullet. They were also unaware that Workman had intentionally used rust-coated bullets in an attempt to give Schultz a fatal bloodstream infection (septicemia) should he survive the gunshot. Schultz lingered for 22 hours, speaking in various states of lucidity with his wife, mother, a priest, police, and hospital staff, before dying ofperitonitis.

Although Schultz\'s empire was meant to be crippled, several of his associates survived the night. Martin \"Marty\" Krompier, whom Schultz left in charge of his Manhattan interests while he hid in New Jersey, survived an assassination attempt concurrent with the Palace Chophouse shooting, and no apparent attempt was made on the life ofIrish-AmericanmobsterJohn M. Dunn, who later became thebrother-in-lawof mobsterEdward J. McGrathand a powerful member of theHells Kitchen Irish mob.

Charles Workman was eventually convicted of Schultz\'s murder and sent toTrenton State Prisonto serve a 23-year sentence. Upon his arrival, Workman requested to see WardenLewis Lawes. Workman wanted to be housed in the same cell block as several of his old friends who were incarcerated there; his request was not granted. Emmanuel Weiss was electrocuted for an unrelated killing in 1944 on the same evening as Louis \"Lepke\" Buchalter.

Last words and posthumous eventsThe headstone of Dutch Schultz inGate of Heaven Cemetery

Schultz\'s last words were a strangestream-of-consciousnessbabble, spoken in his hospital bed to police officers who attempted to calm him and question him for useful information. Although the police were unable to extract anything coherent from Schultz, his rambling was fully transcribed by a policestenographer. This includes the famous:

A boy has never wept...nor dashed a thousand kim.

But the entire text (linked below) is much more rambling, for example:

You can play jacks, and girls do that with a soft ball and do tricks with it.Oh, Oh, dog Biscuit, and when he is happy he doesn\'t get snappy.

One of his last utterances was a reference to \"French Canadian bean soup\" (French Canadian pea soup is a popular dish that is still produced as canned goods by many food companies).

Schultz\'s last words inspired a number of writers to devote works related to them.Beat GenerationauthorWilliam S. Burroughspublished a screenplay in novel form titledThe Last Words of Dutch Schultzin the early 1970s, whileRobert SheaandRobert Anton Wilsonconnected Schultz\'s words to a globalIlluminati-relatedconspiracy, making them a major part of 1975\'sThe Illuminatus! Trilogy. (In Wilson\'s and Shea\'s story, Schultz\'s ramblings are a coded message.) In his 1960 anthologyParodies,Dwight Macdonaldpresents Schultz\'s last words as a parody ofGertrude Stein. In the novelBilly Bathgate, the protagonist used clues from Schultz\'s deathbed ramblings to locate his hidden money.

After Schultz\'s death, it was discovered that he and his wife had never gone through an official marriage ceremony, and the possible existence of another wife emerged with the discovery of letters and pictures of another woman and children among his effects at the hotel where he was staying in Newark. This was never resolved, as hiscommon-lawwife refused to talk about it and the mystery woman never came forward. Two other women also called at the morgue to receive his effects, but their identities were never established. Though he was estimated to be worth $7million when he died, no trace of the money was ever found.

By receivinglast rites, Schultz was permitted interment in the Roman CatholicGate of Heaven CemeteryinHawthorne,Westchester County, New York, although, at the request of hisOrthodox Jewishmother, Schultz\'s body was draped with atalit, a traditional Jewish prayer shawl.

Several actors have played Dutch Schultz in films:Vic MorrowinPortrait of a Mobster(1960),Vincent GardeniainMad Dog Coll(1961),James RemarinThe Cotton Club(1984),Dustin HoffmaninBilly Bathgate(1991),Bruce NozickinHit the Dutchman(1992),Lance HenrikseninThe Outfit(1993), andTim RothinHoodlum(1997). In the 1959The Untouchablesepisode \"The Dutch Schultz Story\", Schultz was played byLawrence Dobkin.

The building that housed the Palace Chop House was torn down in 2008.

Schultz\'s lost treasure

Shortly before his death, fearing that he would be incarcerated as a result of Dewey\'s efforts, Schultz commissioned the construction of a special airtight and waterproof safe, into which he placed $7million in cash andbonds. Schultz and Rosencrantz then drove the safe to an undisclosed location somewhere in upstate New York and buried it. At the time of his death, the safe was still interred; as no evidence existed to indicate that either Schultz or Rosencrantz had ever revealed the location of the safe to anyone, the exact place where the safe was buried died with them. Gangland lore held that Schultz\'s enemies spent the remainder of their lives searching for the safe. The safe has never been recovered.

Treasure hunters meet annually in theCatskillsto search for the safe. One such meeting was documented in thedocumentary filmDigging for Dutch: The Search for the Lost Treasure of Dutch Schultz.
