Louis Amberg
In addition to Joseph and Hyman, his brother Oscar Amberg was tried but acquitted for murder and other crimes.[2] Less than a month later, Pretty Amberg's body was found on the back seat of a flaming car early in the morning of October 23, 1935 across from 131 North Elliot Place, Brooklyn.An individual named Al Stern or Stein, 21, was considered a suspect in the killing of both Amberg brothers and at least seven others since that August.[5] For the 10 months prior to his death, Pretty Amberg had been staying in a hotel in midtown Manhattan under an assumed name.Police searched the room and discovered more than $1,000 cash (equivalent to $22,000 in 2023), jewelry (including a gold watch with initials not matching Amberg) and extensive records.
