Murder, Inc. was established after the formation of the commission of the [[National Crime Syndicate]], to which it ultimately answered. Largely headed by former mob enforcers [[Bugsy Siegel]] and [[Meyer Lansky]], it also had members from Buchalter's labor-slugging gang (in partnership with [[Gaetano Lucchese]]) as well as from another group of enforcers from Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, of the late 1920s led by Martin "Buggsy" Goldstein and Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, based out of an unassuming candy store known as Midnight Rose's. Buchalter, in particular, and Joe Adonis occasionally, gave the outfit its orders from the board of directors of the syndicate. Albert Anastasia was the troupe's operating head, or "Lord High Executioner", assisted by Lepke's longtime associate Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro. | Murder, Inc. was established after the formation of the commission of the [[National Crime Syndicate]], to which it ultimately answered.
