On Aug. 2, 1949, Jack Dragna, one of Mickey’s rivals, ordered his men to go to Cohen’s home in the middle of the night and place several sticks of dynamite under his house. At 4:00am they lit the fuse and blew the roof of the joint.
Luckily for Cohen he was at the other side of the house when the explosion occurred and was not injured.
