Vincent Mad Dog Coll
()
About this ebook
Vincent Coll was originally from County Donegal in Ireland. During his early life he was institutionalized in Catholic institutions for the indigent and truant youths in New York City. His first criminal offenses involved citations for juvenile delinquency. He lived for a time with his half-sister Florence and her husband, Joseph Reddan, in the Bronx, in 1930. In fact Joseph Reddan and Coll's brother, Peter, were involved in the offenses that were committed by a gang that Vincent established that was based in the Bronx. Vincent and Peter Coll were introduced to organized crime during their tenure as hit men for Dutch Schultz. Schultz controlled the liquor and beer trade in New York City for years and the Coll brothers were a part of his organization. Eventually Vincent wanted to go out on his own. When Schultz refused his request to start a separate branch of the organization within the criminal network that was already operative, the Colls went out on their own.

Vincent Mad Dog Coll
Irish Gangster In Prohibition Era
New York City
Robert Grey Reynolds Jr.
Smashwords Edition 2014
On October 25, 1943 syndicated columnist Walter Winchell announced that New York District Attorney Hogan planned to name seventeen persons as suspects in the murder of gangster Vincent Mad Dog Coll (born Uinseann O Colla, July 20, 1908).
Figure 1 Vincent Coll Coll was a former hit man for Dutch Schultz. Vincent Coll became a gang leader during the Prohibition Era. As rumrunners for Dutch Schultz (born Arthur Flegenheimer, August 6, 1901-October 24, 1935) brothers Vincent and Peter Coll each earned $150 per week.
Figure 2 Dutch Schultz
They tutored under the Jewish mobster, learning the bootlegging trade. As underlings and hit men for Schultz the Coll brothers split up their employer’s operation. They soon made a mutual decision to start operating independently as loan sharks and bootleggers. Both Vincent and Peter had developed an expertise during their tenure with Schultz, killing and maiming any rival gangsters who were in his path. When Dutch Schultz refused Vincent’s request to take a portion of his beer racket, Peter and Vincent Coll started hijacking their employer’s beer trucks. A war among gangsters began soon thereafter.
Vincent Coll’s father, Anthony (born 1872), was 38 when the United States Census was taken in April 1910. His occupation was subway guard. Anthony was a naturalized U.S. citizen who had immigrated to America in 1886. His home was on Cortlandt Avenue in Bronx Assembly District 33.
Anthony Coll (Tuathall Og Morr Coll) married Annie Anna Mary Duncan (1874-1916) in 1892. Annie was born in Illinois. Her father was Irish and her mother was an Australian native. The Colls had seven children of whom five were living in April 1910. The eldest
