Murder, Inc. — or Murder Incorporated, or the Brownsville Boys — was the name given by the press to organized crime group in the 1920s, '30s and '40s that resulted in hundreds of murders on behalf of the American Mafia, and their Jewish counterparts who together formed the early Organized crime groups in New York and elsewhere. The name "Murder Incorporated" was a journalistic invention. In his biography, The Valachi Papers, Mafia turncoat Joseph Valachi insisted that Murder Inc. did not perform killings for the Cosa Nostra.
