Morris "Moe" Kleinman was a bootlegger in Cleveland who switched into gambling rackets at the end of Prohibition. Kleinman was associated with Louis Rothkopf, Moe Dalitz, Samuel Tucker and other Cleveland mobsters of the 1930s and later. My e-book looks at Kleinman's criminal career. particularly in the era of the Estes Kefauver Crime Racket hearings in the United States, circa 1951 and 1952. Kleinman was among the investors in a gambling syndicate that established country clubs and betting parlors in northern Kentucky, i.e. Covington, etc. Thoroughly obstinate, refusing to answer committee counsel questions, the Jewish hoodlum was among a triumvirate of Mafioso that controlled Cleveland's underworld into the mid 1950s.
