Other charges, including some for conspiracy, harboring, narcotics and antitrust violations, still remained to be disposed of. In March, 1940, he was found guilty on 15 counts of an indictment by the General Sessions Court in New York City, for which he was sentenced to a term of from 30 years to life, to be served upon completion of his Federal sentence. He commenced the latter term at Leavenworth Penitentiary in April, 1940, but the law had not finished with Louis Buchalter. He was later found guilty of murder in Kings County, New York, and on March 4, 1944, he died in the electric chair at Sing Sing.
