Harry Rosman
Harry Rosman (1891–1958) was president and owner of Famous Cleaners & Dyers in Detroit, Michigan. He gained notoriety in the news[1] for being the key witness testifying against the infamous Purple Gang in a trial from 1928–1929. The prosecution alleged extortion activities against Detroit-area businesses during the sometimes violent showdown known as the Cleaners & Dyers Wars. Harry testified under oath that the Purple Gang asked for $1000 per week from his and other area cleaners and dyers' businesses[2] for their "protection" against violence.
