According to Joe Bonanno's book A Man Of Honor, & Lucky Luciano, Salvatore Maranzano hired Mad Dog Coll to kill Lucky Luciano. That's why Luciano moved on him 1st.
There could be some truth to that, it lines up. Bumpy Johnson wanted to kill Shultz, Lucky would always tell him no because they had business. So it makes sense that Mad Dog would want to kill Lucky so when Shultz died, it’ll be no revenge
The pharmacy where he was killed is a diner now. Every time I walk by I think of this. Also, in the Warner Brothers film the roaring twenties Cagney sets up a guy that’s out to kill him to get into a phone booth that was meant for him. This was a reference to the way Coll died.
James Anastasia. 23rd and 8th ave . The pharmacy was called London something because of the large apartment complex that was built around that time that is still there called London Terrace. One of the first massive apt buildings in the world its covers a city block. Google it .

In London at the same time in history, there was large communities of Irish, Eastern European Jews and smaller numbers of Italian immigrants living in the poorer areas. The same situation existed in places like Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, etc and many other places around the English speaking world.
Rao's restaurant is still in east Harlem on 114th after decades and caters to celebrities who "own" the tables. also, Rao's tomato sauce and meatballs are available at your local grocer. America, what a country.

Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll (born Uinseann Ó Colla, July 20, 1908 - February 8, 1932) was an Irish American mob hitman in the 1920s and early 1930s in New York City. Coll gained notoriety for the alleged accidental killing of a young child during a mob kidnap attempt. Coll was born in Gweedore, an Irish-speaking region of County Donegal, Ireland; his family emigrated to the U.S. a year later. Coll was a distant relative of Northern Ireland Member of Parliament Bríd Rodgers. When Vincent was not quite one year old his father, Toaly, decided to move the family, his wife and seven children to New York in search of a better life, though after settling in the Bronx in 1909, they remained trapped in poverty. Five of Vincent’s six siblings died before he was twelve. His mother died oftuberculosis in 1916, worn out after years of trying to provide for her children. Vincent’s father Toaly had simply run off years before and was never heard from again. After his mother’s death, Vincent's surviving sister tried to raise him in a cold-water flat when Vincent was eleven, Coll was raised in The Bronx by an elderly woman who took him in as her own. At age 12, Coll was first sent to a reform school.[3]After being expelled from multiple Catholicreform schools, he joined The Gophers street gang. Run-ins with the law were almost inevitable. Vincent soon developed a reputation for being a wild child of the streets and began the first of several stints in Catholic Reform School before he reached his teens.
My mother's side is from Armagh! Ulster's! Still Irish, but Scotsmen! This topic though won't do anything but take a person to a whole new world of history that has almost completely been forgotten! I'm sorry for the Irish, but it didn't just happen to the Irish, it was the Ulster Scott's! Slave trade, genocide, the rebellion, 9 year war, potato famine! on and on caused by Britain originally! Then Scotland, then Whales! It's a shameful history! I just had to add that!
My grandfather would constantly change the subject when asked about him; we like to assume that everyone's got crazies in their family tree, right? .... right?!
Stupid? No. Fat? Sure. Lying*? No. I just forgot they commented. So, thank you so much for reminding me!! The world needs more people like you---to keep people on top of things in such a nice way. "lol" My great-grandfather's (on my dad's side) direct cousin. My dad, and his brother and sisters, were very curious--especially since the family was so hush-hush. So they traced it back, professionally. Thank you for asking. And, again, great video(s)!
Alexandra, thanks for the info. Do you have anything of his? BTW, I have no idea who this guy is or why he is calling you names. I blocked him from posting any more comments on my site. At least I think I did. On behalf of all honorable men, I apologize!
Bloodletters & Badmen Ah, he doesn't bother me. I truly appreciate the apology, but you really didn't have to. Kind of surprised he has nothing better to do than comment on youtube about things he doesn't/can't know about. Haha. Anyway, finding items of Coll's: that's my family's next and current step. I am not too directly involved in the search, as I do not live near enough. But I will say when I say my family is "hush hush" about him, I mean: NOTHING, eerie-silence-nothing. So my Colls are not too confident to find anything hidden somewhere (anything we did have, has probably been gotten rid of). Apparently, my family's looking into less direct familial routes... like his brother, Peter, or even Vincent's biological mother... but they all seem like long shots to me.
There's an English folk/rock band called Mad Dog McCrea who wrote a great song about Mad Dog Coll. The song is called, 'Bang Bang Shotgun'. It's on their first album.
I'm Irish, and my wife's family are from Donegal although she was born in Galway. Vincent was her cousin. the house he was born in still stands today as a pub.
Clu Gulagar played Coll on the old Untouchables series with Robert Stack, I think it's pretty much the best depiction film of the true lunacy of the mad dog.
I love the move Mobsters but whoever was the actor who played Cole had to be one of the worse actors in history. thank you for this, I have been looking for a truthful depiction of him!!
I still view this apparent war between two factions as a coup d'état by a group of young ambitious gangsters who killed their way to the top of the organization.
Bloodletters & Badmen It's comical mistake you can laugh about. It doesn't make the rest of the video worthless. Maybe you can even see it as a test. If no one notices it than you may wonder how much attention the viewer really has. Off course you don't know how willing to comment people are so they may notice but don't comment.
That is my point, it wasn't a mistake. It was the only public domain footage I could find, ergo, I did it on purpose. With my limited budget (which is zero) it is not easy to find overlays to back up the narration. On some of these guys, I have one or two known pictures to use. It isn't easy coming with visuals (as I'm sure you can image. But thanks for the feedback.
There was an Untouchables episode in 59 "Vincent Mad Dog Coll". Season 1 episode 6. The psycho is at war with Dutch Schultz and kidnaps and tries to shoot a Ky Derby contender named Enchantment because Dutch had a 100 grand on him. At the end they disclose how Coll met his untimely death in a phone booth.
@@CoreyT127 As much as I love Leone, "Once Upon a Time In America" was a mess. It was like he couldn't decide what to leave in & what to leave out, so he just left everything in. But "Mobsters" was a cartoon show. A bad cartoon show.
Vince was a dead ringer for my cousin Papo. Shot down in cold blood in the streets as soon as he left Prison. RIP Papo. Also buried in St. Raymond's Cementary in the Bronx. Clu Galager was great as Mad Dog in an episode in The Untouchables.
I'm Seth Coll, a direct descendant. This is so weird for me to watch this. By the way, the correct pronunciation of our last name is "call," people pronounce it "coal" all the time.
Have you visited his grave? I've visited it a couple of times, the most recent being last month. It's in St. Raymond's (old) Cemetery in The Bronx, NY and is worth a visit to contemplate how a man of once such feared notoriety is now as anonymous as the thousands of others who he was laid to rest with.
He has a few amazing relatives around ireland and scottland these days , I got to meet my cousins about a year ago when they came to NY , awesome people
Dude, you're doing a brilliant job. Like I said, at the end of the day, I retire to watch BLOODLETTERS AND BAD MEN. I still think that there may be a few left that I've not seen. Again, brilliant work, pal. Keep them coming if you can.
I'll volunteer to get your coffee and help in any way in return for you teaching me any tech skills. Btw, I actually met and had coffee with the late Henry Hill at Borders Books on the 3rd Street promenade in Santa Monica, CA. True story, man.
Well, I'll tell you. I was introduced to him simply as Henry. The thing is that the guy who introduced me to him told me beforehand which Henry I'd be meeting. It's like when you meet a Rock Star or Movie Star out here in Hollywood. If you have half a fucking brain, you just roll with it and say hi, nice to meet you. One doesn't fawn over or ask stupid questions, right??? I mentioned that I was born in NYC and lived on Park Avenue and in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. as a boy. That's when he invited me to sit with him. We had coffee and made a little small talk about the east coast vs. the lifestyle in L.A. He was living locally in some apartment in the city of Santa Monica. We were both on "the wagon" for the moment at least, and we're attending the same AA meeting, which was a small, intimate affair on the second floor of an Italian restaurant. Henry was laid back, demure, even friendly. We hung for maybe an hour.
Vincent Mad Dog Coll was BX finest or most infamous. He ran the streets of Brook Avenue. People to this day still talk about him. Rao use to give pennies to children to be around him. 🥶 hearted way to protect him. Why Vincent s main racket was kidnapping other gangsters. That's hardcore they say his assassin was none other than BABY blue eyes Sigel.
The actor @ 1:51 is John Davis Chandler. I remember seeing him in a lot of movies/TV during the 60s. He was always the heavy in westerns and "teenage delinquent" movies. He gave me the creeps! What an A-1 bad guy (to me) who died in 2010. I kept waiting for something like a mobster/brothers movie with him and the fellow creepy actor Klaus Kinski as his bloody thirsty brother. The above movie about Coll I think is his very first acting role.
Del Stanley Chandler was wonderful playing heavies or mentally disturbed ppl...he was in a lot of westerns back then also. Again, even in those he was the villain.
Yes. I remember Chandler and the film, Mad Dog Coll. I used to eat movies like that up as a kid from Long Island. That one and Portrait of a Mobster, with Vic Morrow as Dutch Schultz and Ray Danton as Legs Diamond. Personally, I thought Morrow was the best of the lot, but I dug 'em all. John Chandler was a crazy looking guy, in most things, but esp as Coll. Very effective in Major Dundee too, playing another 'unbalanced' fellow. Great vid here, by the way. Ty. 😎🖒🕵
"It was an extremely hot day, and every child in the neighbourhood was out on the street playing" [shot of line of children walking, dressed in winter clothes].
So many inaccuracies in this video he was born in Ireland the ancestor of a prominent Irish politician, the photo was of Owney Madden an Angli-Irish Gangster born in Leeds, Yorkshire and the gang was The Gophers.Poorly researched I'm afraid.
Maranzano contracted him to whack Lucky but Lucky got tipped and he got Lanskey to handle Maranzano's killing. They killed Sal before Coll could kill Lucky.

John Chandler was a crazy looking guy, in most things, but esp as Coll. Very effective in Major Dundee too, playing another 'unbalanced' fellow. Great vid here, by the way. Ty. 😎🖒🕵
I am confused: was Dutch Schulz a Dutchman or a German (Deutsch)?
I think he's German jew
Jewish
Good grief, he only lived to be 24!
U wouldn’t last long with a nickname like this.
Good stuff
Great video 🍿
Seems like Coll very tall. In all picks he towers over everyone.
Only 24 but looks 34. Goes to show just because you have a gun don't make you smart
People got old faster those days and you don't need smarts when you have a gun.
Wow innocent children gunned down by machine gun fire. ANIMALS!!!
Poor audio quality
Went to a funeral and wandering about found his grave. Good place for him
"It was an extremely hot day, and every child in the neighbourhood was out on the street playing" [shot of line of children walking, dressed in winter clothes].

Hmph, he died Feb 8th 1932....today is Feb 8th 2017! Anniversary of his death 💀
Pretty good grave marker
The origin of the drive by
So many inaccuracies in this video he was born in Ireland the ancestor of a prominent Irish politician, the photo was of Owney Madden an Angli-Irish Gangster born in Leeds, Yorkshire and the gang was The Gophers.Poorly researched I'm afraid.
He was quite tall wasnt he
***** very skinny and lanky looking.
That pharmacy now Dallas BBQ
They serve Chicken and bullets..haha
I thought lucky Luciano killed him.
Maranzano contracted him to whack Lucky but Lucky got tipped and he got Lanskey to handle Maranzano's killing. They killed Sal before Coll could kill Lucky.
Do one on Dutch plz and pretty big Floyd O and John Dillinger
Lived by the sword
Not exactly a figure for the Irish to be proud of.
Danny Greene is tho
True but coming from terrible family situation s big city poverty understandable into the why of him
They were gangsters...
