Abe "Kid Twist" Reles (/ˈrɛlɨs/; May 10, 1906 – November 12, 1941) was a New York mobster who was widely considered the most feared hit man for Murder, Incorporated (nonfiction).
Death
Reles later turned government witness and sent several members of Murder, Inc. to the electric chair.
It is widely believed that Reles' death from falling through a window while under police custody was a hit placed by the American Mafia, as he was set to testify against family boss Albert Anastasia.
