Reinhart Harry Schwimmer, born Jacob Scwimmer, resided at the Parkway Hotel. Correct birthdate is Dec.1, 1898, in Chicago, Illinois. (Again discrepency with date, certificate lists 1899 and headstone mentions 1900). Height:5' 8 1/2 " Weight :160 pounds. Dark brown curly hair and brown eyes. Father was Michael Schwimmer and mother was Josephine Herenauser. He was divorced in 1923, from his wife Fae Johnson Schwimmer and then went to live at the Parkway. He was requested to leave there after accumulating debt.He then married a rich widow by the name of Mrs. Risch and tried to return to the Parkway again saying he was through hanging around gangsters. Mrs. Risch divorced him in 1927-28, and he returned to his association with the Moran mob and his spinning of stories of importing alcohol from Detroit. His profession was as optometrist(today he would be considered an optician since he had no medical training).He like to be close and associated with gangsters. He was friends with the Northsiders, starting with Dion O'Banion (Attended his funeral) then Weiss, Drucci and Moran. He like to pretend he was in the booze business and that he could have anyone wacked if he chose to. His association with gangsters took up most of his time and his optometry business was failing. He owed money for gambling debts. His mother would pay his rent. Schwimmer has a total of 25 entrance/ exit wounds. Sixteen are lead pellets in the back from shotgun blasts. This would explain the only two Climax shotgun shells found at the scene. They were ("double-aught") 00 buckshot variety, each shell containing 8 large pellets.
