Jack Zuta

John U. Zuta (February 15, 1888[1] – August 1, 1930)[2] was an accountant and political "fixer" for the Chicago Outfit and the North Side Gang.

[3] Zuta (also spelled as "Zoota") was born on February 18, 1888, in the Russian Empire to a peasant family[1] who practiced Orthodox Judaism.

[1][8][9] After the murder (for which former Egan's Rats gangster Leo Vincent Brothers was convicted),[8] Zuta was arrested and questioned by police.

[3] Zuta fled Chicago, and hid out in Upper Nemahbin Lake, west of Milwaukee, living under the alias "J. H. Goodman".

Zuta was shot to death, most likely by the Chicago Outfit in revenge for the murder of Lingle, on August 1, 1930, at a roadhouse in Delafield, Wisconsin.
