| Frank Abbundando received his nickname "The Dasher" because of his speed. Legend has it that During the Reles Amberg War, a hired hitman, chased Abbundando when during the gun fight, Frank's gun jammed. Frank took off around the block and was so fast that he caught up with the hitman from the rear and shot him dead, hence "The Dasher" was born. Frank Abbundando was a hired killer for Murder Inc and was put to death in the Sing Sing electric chair in 1942 because of Abe Reles' damaging testimony against the fabled organization. |
