the killing of Herman Rosentral
''Dopey- Benny" has long been famous
in the underworld. Wherever money
was to be eXtorted OF. a man was to
be beaten up for hire thepolice were
sure to find Benny Fein and his sin
lister pack.
At first Benny himself did the jobs
he was paid for. But latterly he was
proud to be known as IAN employer"
merely pocketing the lions share of
the blood money and getting a sub
ordinate to do the actual work.
Today, only 80 years old, he has
been arrested 20 times; was sent once
to the House of Refuge, twice to the
workhouse, once to Elmira reform
atory, and twice to Sing Sing prison.
Though often arrested, mysterious
influences nearly always procured
Fein's discharge.
Given five years at hard labor in
Sing Sing last January, he was back
on the East Side in May. Then the
appellate division of the supreme
court set aside his conviction because
he had been tried for assault in the
second degree and it should have
been the third!
1t has been "Dopey Benny's" boast
that he makes $4,000 a year at his
trade of Jack-of-all-crimes!
1t was labor organizers complaint
that sprang the laws trap on The
Wolf of New York. Fem had offered
his services to Benjamin Salmovo-
Wiz, organizer of Kosher Butchers
Union No. 9. He told Salmovovitz
that for $4,000 he. would force every
kosher butcher in New York city to
join the union. Salmovovitz knew
that the unprepossessing visitors who
made this proposition were The Wolf
of New York and his pack.
He was intimidated and gave them
n Il

Dopey Benny, ''and you'll catch it,
too"
1t was then the distracted Salmo-
vovitz complained to the police and
they arrested Fein for attempted ex-
tortion after Salmovovitz had been
observed to pay him marked $50
bill.
In court Fein was permitted to
plead as a first offender as result
of his offer to confess His confess
sion was brought about by the infiu-
ence Of a yonug working girl to
whom he was married last May after
he got out of Sing Sing. His girl wife
has promised to work and to wait for
The Wolf till he gets out of jail. But
The VOLTS pack say that if he ever
gets his liberty again they will cut
