Does anyone else know anything about him? I know he had a partner named Herbie, which is not much to go on. I think Herbie died in prison.
Do you mean Harry ”Bernow”?...... I think you spelt it backwards! He was an old-time Jewish hoodlum. Around a lot of the old Jewish set downtown, garment district etc
