He was born on December 20, 1885, and married Dora Marcus (1892–1967) in 1924 when he was the First Assistant District Attorney for Bronx County.[3][4] He fathered Roy Cohn in 1927.[5][6] Cohn was inducted as a justice of the New York Supreme Court into Part III of Bronx Supreme Court in April 1929.[7] A 1931 decision by Cohn stripped control of amateur boxing in New York from the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and placed it under control of the New York State Athletic Commission.[8] In April 1937, Governor Herbert H.
