  Mad Dog Coll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll (July 20, 1908—February 7, 1932) was an Irish enforcer for the mafia in early 20th-century New York City.
Coll insisted on a $25,000 payment in advance with the same amount to be paid on completion of the job.
As such, Coll was left alone by the fleeing squad of hitmen, presumably delighted that he could keep his advance of $25,000 without having to do the job on Luciano.
