Huey Long
Huey Pierce Long Jr. (30 August 1893 – 10 September 1935), nicknamed "The Kingfish", was an American politician who served as governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and was a member of the United States Senate from 1932 until his assassination by Carl Austin Weiss in 1935. He is controversial for his rhetoric and policies, sometimes described as authoritarian and populist.
Assassination
Long was assassinated on 10 September 1935 by Carl Austin Weiss. Some have claimed that Weiss was a Jew, based on his physical characteristics and his burial occurring within 24 hours of his death according to Jewish custom, despite receiving a Catholic funeral.[1][2]
