Biography
Dutch (Flegenheimer) Schultz has Jewish Roots.
Dutch (Flegenheimer) Schultz has German Roots.
Dutch Schultz (born Arthur Simon Flegenheimer; August 6, 1901 – October 24, 1935) was an American mobster. Based in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s, he made his fortune in organized crime, including bootlegging and the numbers racket. Weakened by two tax evasion trials led by prosecutor Thomas Dewey, Schultz's rackets were also threatened by fellow mobster Lucky Luciano. In an attempt to avert his conviction, Schultz asked the Commission for 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.
He was shot in the liver and lingered for a few days in a state of delirium. He uttered some strange phrases before he died, such as:
“A boy has never wept…nor dashed a thousand kim.”
- “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.”
William Burroughs wrote a screenplay called The Last Words of Dutch Schultz which attempted to make sense of some of these phrases. The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson also made extensive use of Schultz's last words.
