No doubt. I remember. Both Martin (Buggsy) Goldstein and Harry (Pittsburgh Phil) Strauss were convicted of murdering "Puggy" Feinstein and were sent to the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison, Upstate NY. All courtesy of their former good friend and fellow Murder Inc. member, Abraham (Kid Twist) Reles, who had turned canary.

The follow up was Reles getting thrown out of a window, (while being "guarded" by policemen,) at the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island....which was famously reported on by local newspapers as the "Canary who could sing, but not fly." lol
