  Mickey Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cohen became involved in organized crime working as an enforcer for the Chicago Outfit, where he briefly met Al Capone, before being arrested in a gunfight during a card game where several mobsters were killed.
According to one account, which does not appear in newspapers of the period however, Cohen purportedly reacted violently to Siegel's murder, later entering the Roosevelt Hotel where he believed the killers were staying, and firing two.45 semiautomatic pistols into the ceiling of the lobby, demanding the assassins to meet him outside in ten minutes.
Cohen was later investigated by the Kefauver Commission in 1950 and, as a result, was sentenced to prison for four years for tax evasion.
