1934: Dutch Schultz Publicly Insults Stephanie St. Clair in Front of Bumpy Johnson — Then Everything Changed
At 8:43 p.m. on November 7, 1931, a quiet dinner at Le Coq d’Or, one of Manhattan’s most elite restaurants—and one of the few that had just begun admitting wealthy Black patrons—turned into the spark that ignited a coming war. Stephanie “Madame Queen” St. Clair, 34, Harlem’s most powerful numbers banker, was dining with her 26-year-old protégé and enforcer Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson, celebrating a profitable week and planning expansion into territory claimed by Dutch Schultz.
This was before the Harlem numbers war exploded into open bloodshed, before Schultz unleashed a campaign of intimidation and murder to seize control.
