“Are you serious? ” Alice said
“Stone cold He’s dead”
Shot in the head
Whilst sat in bed.
He was a malevolent man
From evil clan
Drug run thriller
Gangland killer
Prohibition mafia man
Irish dance-man
Legs Diamond
The Clay pigeon.

Playing with a new form- the minute for d’Verse. This is about Jack the legs Diamond, who was perhaps related to Lily and Fairground Fay.
He was a real gangster and his wife was Alice Kenny Diamond. The image is a prohibition image and is creative commons.

At least he liked to dance although there are other things about him not so pleasant. Nice description of him in minute form, Alison!

Such a dangerous trade, leaving one to grim death. Good work on the form. Thanks for the historical note.

I remember that name. Dutch Schultz tried to kill him several times and gave him the moniker, “clay pigeon “. I had to look it up. Very good use of the prompt, and great research too.
