Harry Strauss was a part of Murder, Inc. He enjoyed mentally torturing his victims before finishing them off. He murdered at least 35 people. He never carried a gun when he wasn't working. Even though he was arrested 18 times before he was convicted, he was eventually sent to prison after killing Irving "Puggy" Feinstein, a known mobster whom he killed with an ice pick and a rope. It is said that Puggy took bites out of Strauss's finger. Puggy's response made Strauss so angry that he tortured Puggy with a slow death of strangulation, along with the ice pick and set fire to his body in a vacant lot.
