Owney Madden: The jealous Irish gangster who shot his love rivals!

One of the leading gangsters from early 20th Century America.
Owney Madden’s rise would see him become one of the leaders of the notorious Golpher gang. Going from killing rival gangsters, to murdering men who simply talked to one of his girlfriends, earning himself the nickname “The Killer" on the streets of New York.
Madden would eventually get involved in running popular nightclubs that entertained people with the likes of Louis Armstrong, Bill Bojangles Robinson and Duke Ellington, as well as get involved in the world of boxing promotion, which saw him fix fights so that his boxers would win.
His luck would run out in the end though as the Italian Mafia would start to muscle in on his territory, forcing him to flee New York.
So what was life like for one of America’s most notorious gangsters?
