" graphic story ever published of_the� e world famous beer wars of ChicagoI». ~- I Gangland. It begins with the

murder of �Diamond Jim� Colo-

simo at the dawn of prohibition,

and it continues on up through the years, death by death, until the killers of Gangland �nally gradu-ated from murder to massacre on St. Valentine's day, 1929, and more recently hit one below the belt

by assassinating Alfred �Jake� Lingle, a newspaper reporter. 1� With the country-wide publication ofthe massacre photograph, public indifference to Gangland's crimes came to an abrupt end. The workof destroying organized crime in Chicago began determinedly, coldly, sternly. To usea phrase borrowedfrom Gangland, the exponents of the "gat� and the machine gun are today being �pushed around� byDecency and Integrity, and they must surely fall into the abyss of oblivion. X� What has brought aboutthis uprising? More than any other single factor has been the wide and unceasing publicity given toGangla�nd�s activities. X� It was this fact that gave the authors the idea for this book. Newspaper

reporters of long Chicago police experience, they realized that any book showing the criminals of Booze-dom as they really are would necessarily be one of brutality and blood and horror. Only in such abook could it be done. Q� X Marks The Spot is the result. In its terrible Truth, this book will becomeof tremendous value in obliterating gangsters from the Chicago scene. The publication of deathpictures in newspapers is becoming more common every day. Editors have at last realized the terri�cforce a death picture can exert, particularly in driving home the lesson that the underworld has presentday civilization in its grip. 1' The ultimate good of the death picture far outweighs the shock that it mayhave on a certain delicate emotional segment of the newspaper readers. A famous New York news-

paper editor commenting in Editor & Publisher recently on the publication of the Valentine massacrepicture, declared that �it was a more powerful example of the de�ance of law and order by the under-

world than could be drawn by twenty-�ve columns of editorials.� 3" In Chicago the tendency to pub-lish death pictures, particularly of slain gangsters, is de�nite and growing. And the result is the pass-ing of the gangster. It is interesting to speculate on what the effect might have been on crime in Chicagoif this tendency had manifested itself on page one four or �ve years ago. A" X Marks The Spot publishesthose pictures for the �rst time. The body of the gangster which was blotted out and an X substitutedis restored as the camera saw it. You have read the story in countless volumes, now, for the �rst time

you can see it. You will see Chicago crime �put on the spot.�

Here is an excellent likeness of Alphonse Capone, the Big Boy ofChicago Gangland, and the greatest gangster that ever lived. WhenKing Al poses for a photograph which isn�t often, he always turnshis right cheek to the camera. The left one is dis�gured by an uglyscar. Le-gend has it that Capone was struck by a machine gun bullet

when he was a soldier in France.

When you look at organized crime in Chicagoyou �rst see Alphonse Capone, aptly and accu-rately described by his vassals of the underworldas the �Big Fellow.� You may be sure he is that

to them. Gangland�s phrases are as full of mean-ing and as expressive as they are curious andoriginal, and to be the Big Fellow is to be king.

Capone's rise to his present position of un-disputed leadership has been swift, remarkableand inevitable; and the complete story of the beerwars of Chicago is his story, his biography. Othermore picturesque �gures have emerged from theshadowy realm of Gangland since prohibition andthe Volstead Act threw it into bloody strife. DionO'Banion stands out a gaudy �gure, and so does

�Little Hymie� Weiss, both of whom challengedthe rule� of Capone for a short violent time, andthey looked like Big Fellows while they lasted,but they didn�t last. Today it is quite plain thatnothing either of them ever achieved in Ganglandhistory possessed �nish and perfection in the samedegree as did the deft and artistic method bywhich they were eliminated and laid away.O�Banion and �Little Hymie� and all the others,living and dead, are but thrilling paragraphs andchapters in the rise of Capone. With each suc-cessive death Capone stepped on closer to theposition where Gangland was compelled to callhim the Big Fellow.

Whether you like it or not, and probablyyou don�t, Capone has become a �gure of na-tional and even international .

interest. Reach for your daily 'newspaper, and you�1l �nd him -

can't be on the job. When the Philadelphia policegathered him in and laid him away in a boudoirin the county jail in 1929 his henchmen, devotedto him and trained in his methods carried on and

when he was freed and had returned to Chicagothere was a great celebration in Gangland in honorof the Big Fellow. From every province of theunderworld came representatives to a great meet-ing and when it was over they all departed totheir rackets crying �All for Al, and Al for All."

With no intention of eulogizing him, Caponeunquestionably stands out a the greatest andmost successful gangster who ever lived. What is

signi�cant is that he is really a gangster, as muchso as the celebrated Monk Eastman and Big JackZelig of New York. As a youth he was himselfa member of their notorious Five Points gang,and the difference between him and all other gang-sters is that he is possessed of a genius for organ-ization and a profound business sense. It wasEdwin A. Olsen, United States District Attorney,who statedlin 1926 that Capone operated on a grossbasis of $70,000,000 a year which takes in onlyhis illicit liquor business. What he pro�ts fromhis prodigious gambling and vice syndicates canonly be a speculative matter.

This book looks at Kzing Al purely from anobjective standpoint. What goes on under his hat,or under the hat of any of his ilk, is a profoundmystery as far as this book is concerned. And, asCapone's public utterances have been few and

brief, they have been of little service in revealinghis mental processes. Neither is this book inter-ested in the conditions which have made him a

supreme sni�ler of law and order.But he is a glamorous �gure, an actual part of

the American scene. Legends already are springingup around him, �ction writers have found him theinspiration for a vast production of current litera-ture. The magazine stands are aflame with under-world stories and Gangland stories about the manwith the gat who wears a tuxedo and has a liver-ied chauffeur. Over in England Mr. Edgar Wallacehas just evolved another thriller, this time indramatic form, from material hastily gathered

during a visit to Chicago. The- visit included a crime tour of

the city with CommissionerStege of the detective bureauat his side calling out the spots.

The telephone clicked and �charming� Vincenzo Cos-mano, oerhsps the most perfect type oi killer ever pro-duced by Gangland before prohibition and the machine-Epln era, had cordially announced to �Big" Jim Colosimo,on him.�

icag0's �rst great underworld king, that the "�nger was

In the picturesque argot of the half-world to put thelinger on _a man is to mark him for death. �Big� JimColosimo had had many �ngers ut on him, but neverbefore had the knowledge affecteci! him like this. It hadcome at a time when everything seemed going wrong,and he trembled and began to perspire.

Verging on emotional tampcde �Big� Jim got in touchwith his lieutenant, Johnny Torrio, who, for three yearshad been handiin these matters in a relentless and high-handed manner. ¬'Vhen Colosimo had brought Johnny outfrom New York to be his body guard, he had been able toenjoy a measure of peace and security. The black-handershad been beaten back; now again their sinister corre-spondence appeared in his mail. "Big" Jim didn�t admitit to himself, but he was afraid. Johnny Torrie knew mat"Big" Jim was afraid when, on that morning, he calledand said to him, �Johnny, perhaps you would like tohave another good man to help you '!� And Johnny under-stood and said, "yes."

And so �Big� Jim left Chicago a few days later for NewYork. Shortly after he returned bringing with him twoburly Italians, both of them young men and graduates ofthe celebrated Five Points Gang of New York, an organi-zation of which Little Johnny Torrip was an alumnus.One of these men was a quiet, furtive chalp who calledhimself Alphonse Capone, and the_other was rankie Yale.Alphonse had come to stay; Frankie _would leave just as soon as he had�nished a special assignment. Well,the sgecial assignment had to dowith ignor Cosmano, the boy whoalways called his shots.

A few days later a big automo-bile whirled round s corner at highspeed. On the corner Jimmy, fool-ishly enough stood taking the air.There was a terri�c roar, andLittle Jimmp fell to the cement,his body ful of lead. Writhing inElli! he was taken to the hospital

y the police, who camped outsidelus door, intending to grab him ifdeath didn't, and death didn't. But,neither did the cops.

Little Jimmy was a Sicilian andhe had many Sicilian friends whothought well of his talents andwere distressed that the law mightstore him sway. In desperationthey took the matter up with one�Big Tim" Murphy, a powerfulunion oiiicial and underworld char-acter from the "back-o-the-yards�district.

�What can do for Little Jimmy?" implored theagitated Italians. Mr. Murphy was silent for severalminutes thinking. Then he said curtly and without ssmile: �Go up and take him.� they did.

And there you have the debut III Chicago of AlphonsoCapone who was to rise to a towering position II the�Big Fellow� of the underworld in less than a decade. Agreat many of the local citizenry will tell you today thatthe debut of Capone together with the advent of prohibi-gon was lg; worst "break" sustained by Chicago since

e t . 'Irlis �rst job then was that of s body guard for Golosimo.

In order to better understand him it is necessary to examinethe new_ background in which the vice lord had establishedhim. �B1E�Jim laid the foundations u on which Capone waslsterto uild his mighty underworld! empire. At the timeof young�Capone's arrival Colosimo was the master ofthe notorious old levee district. His principal interestswere syndicated vice, syndicated prostitution and syn-dicated gambling, a fact unknown y many who believeorganized crime to be a recent phenomenon in Chicago.

Colosimo' �rst appearance in the old levee district hadbeen twenty years ..-i�ore when he was only seventeenyears old. His �rst {ab was as a street-sweeper. It wasthe cleanest he ever eld. More cunning than intelligent,something of a �st �ghter and, above all, peculiarlytalented in the art of making friends, young Colosimosoon became immensely popular with his countrymen whorepresented a maJority of the population. The politiciansin the old levee soon found_Golos1mo and marked him fortheir own. _Srnart �wops" like him were much in demandto keep pol1t1c'al_mmchines running smoothly. From thenon young Colos1mo�s rise in the underworld was rapid.The step from streetmweeper to bawdy house proprietorhid 1359} ea-�W Bod Wjithm a few years he ha_cl gathered ini._mi1I.-u�ié� sucn places together with a few gamblingdives and two cafes. The secret of it all was that he couldsway the voting population at will. Politicians curried his

-favor, the big s ots among them soon heard Colosimotelling them, instead of asking them. No one dared molestthe brothels, the gambling hells and opium joints ownedor controlled by him, and as early as $15, the year hesummoned Johnny Torrie from New York, he had become alaw unto himself, a maker and breaker of litical aspira-tions, a man of countless friendships and, airs, of countlessenemies.

As he acquired wealth the black-handers began to tor-ture him with their demands and threats. Torrie, as wehave said, was effective in dealing with these sinistergroups, and he not only brought a measure of content andsecurity to �Big� Jim, but his presence in the underworldseemed to cause another wave of prosperity to sweep overthe underworld domain. �Big� Jim�s evil business interests

began to expand. Vice and crimecrept slowly into new territory,Principally the great steel and in-dustrial centers oi� the South Side.

With the adept Johnny at his_side plus the heaviness of advanc-ing age, Colosimo began to mani-fest symptoms of indoieuce. Feel-ing safe once more from stray bul-lets and powder bombs, he tookthings easy. Important matterswere left entirely to capable John-ny. Colosimo did not stir himselfeven in the great reform periodwhen the battering ram of publicsentiment began tearing wide holesin the old levee district. But Johnnytook care of matters pretty well,and continued to operate by thesimnle expedient of retiring mmthe buffet �at and the call house.

Colosimo was plainly in decline,and his inactivity was regardedwith a cold eye by his companionsand the politicians. Lassitude took�rmer hold on him as the days

glossed, and Colosimo spent most of"s days just sitting in his huge

ornate cafe dreaming contentedly.

People began to talk, and what th=_ said, in effect, wasthat Colosimo wasn�t really so hot after all and that therea'/smart guys, the brains behind the throne were reallyJolihny Torrio and that relentless aid who was alwayswith him. Alphonse Capone. And they were right.

The Golden Era, otherwise known as prohibition, wentinto effect on July 30, 1919. It made s swell law to break,the very fbest_one _on the book. _Torrio and Capone werejust pushing Colosimo into this highly lucrative businessand showing him some excellent methods by which thelaw could be smashed when the end came for him.

This unhappy event brings us back to Colosinio's tend-ency to take life easy, to keep his eyes closed. It takesus to his cafe which operates to this day at 2126 South

The underworld lord found Miss Winter a stranded�trees. ambitious to further her vocal studies, and willinto sing in his cabaret in order that she might ni�e enoughmoney to realize her dream. Her appearance in his cafewas s_disagreeable sensation in the underworld. Obviouslyshe didn't belong there and what did the king mean bythus associating with respectability! ._ But Colosimo was more than interested in the beautiful

linger who stood nightly beside_the piano andthe orchestraand sang to panders, dopepeddlers, bootleg-fer�i thugs, and plug uglies. Colosimo wasii love with her and, for the �rst time in his

hie, decent impulses began to stir in hiscurious and contradictory nature.

The presence o£Miss Winter in Colosimo'scafe had its e�ect, for the gentry of theunderworld who had used it for years astheir favorite rendezvous began to absentthemselves as vermin before an extermi-nator. She seemed to renovate the place byher very presence and, more important, sheseemed to renovate Colesimo himself. Moreand more absorbed did Colosii-no become inhis love for the tiny �ower of s woman.He had broken de�nitely with his wife, de-spite the importunities of his friends and

countrymen._ Under the delicate_hand of Miss Winter

the cafe, once s perfect example of whatmoney without taste can perform, was trans-formed iiito a place of beauty. It becamea popular and delightful place in which tospend an evening after the theater. Thefood was excellent, the music good and theIii-iorinn AF m�n Tll'Inl-nu elm Ln-A4--i .--.-.Qllibllla vs. AI-usual nuuics, us: uunucaa, sins-I-velous.

A decent element soon occupied the tablesand chairs where once the denizens of theunderworld were to be seen, and Colosimo's

from the Chicago Civic Opera Company.The reputation of Colosimo's Cafe extendedfar and wide, and it became one of thoseplaces in Chicago you simply couldn't affordto miss seeing.

"Ill" Jim Gololimo as the photographers and police found him a fur minutes after an export tilin-dopositod several. sums In his hood. The assassination took pilaoo in Colon-l.mo's ornate onto.

Colosimo changed too, but not so de�nitely as did thecafe. Dale Winter, devoutly in love with him, workedlong and assiduously to make s �ne gentleman out of himand she did wonders, considering the material. But evenin riding tags, in evening clothes, "Big" Jim retained someof the odor of the underworld.

The transformed Colosimo lost caste with the under-world. It was plain that the king had �one wrong, and inthe dumps and dives hone-yeornhed tn-eughout the oldlevee district there were whispers that the �nger was againon Colosimo. And it was. And this time neither LittleJohnny nor Capone could avail him argrthing.

On March 29, 1920, Colosimo divorce his wife, Victoria,and on April 16 he was married to Dale Winter. The cere-mony was performed in Indiana and the underworld lordwith his bride went honeyrnooning at an Indiana resort. Thenewspapers smoked with the story of his mandage and therewas a great �are of excitement, except of course in theunderworld. Col-osimo�s new found happiness lasted how-

[6]

ever only twenty-�ve days. He met his doom on May 11,shortly after he and his bride had retumed to Chicago.

Death came mysteriously and suddenly in the lobby ofhis cafe on a sultry afternoon whither he had gone hur-riedly in response to a mysterious telephone message. Themystery of his assassination has not been solved to this day.Thirty persons were questioned at the time and among themwere Capone and Torrie. It was all a waste oi time, eventhe long ession the police held at headquarters with LittleJimmy Cosmano who came forward voluntarily. Miss Win-ter dropped out of the underworld at once without makingany claims even to the estate oi� �her husband.

And so King Colosimo who was growing respectablecame to an inevitable end. Johnny Torrio stepped forth.As Johnny had eclipsed his boss, soon too was Capone toeclipse Torrio. The end of Colosimo, you mi ht say, wasthe beginning for Capone. He and orrio iegan doingthings m a big way as we shall see.

H» BEER FRONTE Q!� Jim?-

Johnny Torrio and Al Capone soon had the prohibitionlaw looking silly. All the power built up by "Big" JimColosimo over a period of twenty years was inherited orappropriated by them and, in their hands, it became anexcellent instrument with which to make the city all wet.Under Colosimo the politicians had done business with thedapper Johnny and they had put him down as a �rightguy,� and so Johnny ha no trouble in placing large hands-ful of dough here and there where it would mean some-thing. As for Personnel, Johnny and Al could muster asmall army o pimps, $181'ld¬I�S, thugs, come-on men,bouncers, pick-pockets an other vermin already employed:_ J.�L.. .�l:-...., .._.-I �I�.-tn-A-n �l.. . . . H _ a A�II'�IJ92A nil 4»-.6-Alla»! �I-nIII LIIC �J-IVCB ZIHU UIWUJ IIUUSUB UWIIBU U1 UUILLIULIUU ll�them. This talented array was available at a moment�snotice to exert themselves in the beer cause, provided, ofcourse, the beer belonged to Johnny and Alphonse.

The next step in the beer scheme was to acquire a fewbreweries. Johnny laid hold of two or three, but theyweren�t enough. He went shopping again, this time north-ward to the Gold Coast where respectability slumbered.At the magni�cent residence of a respectable gentleman,ostensibly a retired brewer, Johnny presented his proposi-tion, emphasizing his political pull and, most of all thefact that if he, the ex-brewer, would contribute the half-dozen or more idle brewerie owned by him, nobody needknow a thing about it. The ex-brewer could retain the�ex� as far as the straphangers would ever know for, incase of any trouble, Johnny would take the rap.

While Johnny was forming this famous partnership hewas not a little dismayed to learn that two other ambitiousgentlemen who were not at all averse to tuming a hotdollar here and there in the new racket had got a runningbroad jump on him. These were Frankie Lake and TerryDruggan, products of the Old Valley District, who wereto become famous in the annals of Gangdom as the Damonand Pythias of the beer barons.Buddies as boys, they had gottheir early training under the "tutelage of the notorious Paddy�The Bear" Ryan and had be-come adept as wagon thieves,which is to say they could prymerchandise loose from trucksand delivery vans while thesewere in motion. When the GoldenEra of rohibition dawnedFrankie had! become respectableand was holding down a job ofputting out �res as a city �re-man. At the time Torrio, withonly one or two beer manufac-tories of his own, was tryingto annex enough to make a goodshowing, Terry and Frankiewere operating as many as sixor seven. Their �rst breweryhad been acquired through oneRichard Phillips, a partner inCo1osimo's Cafe after the deathof �Big� Jim. From the afore-mentioned ex-brewer they hadacguired a little later the Gam-brmus, the Standard, the Hoff-m�!1,_thc Pfei�er and the StegeBrewing Companies.

And so Frankie and Terrymust be remembered as the boyswho administered prohibition in .

smart, too; and were bornried at the prospect of becomingembroiled in any rough stu��. When one of their truckswas appropriated. as occasionally happened, they didn�toil a gat or reach for a machine gun.

When the toughest beer-runners in the �business, em-ployees of theirs, �wanted to explode an automatic over inthe O'Donnell territory, Terry and Frankie would havenone of it. �Klondike� O'Donnell bought most of his beerfrom them anywaly, so why not let him steal one occasion-ally. �What the ell,� chorused Terry and Frankie, �It'sonly one load anyhow, so why bother about it. We'll justdraw a lot of heat on ourselves if we rap those guys.Let �em get away with it this time.� And so no blood wasshed for which Frankie and Terry were res�onsible. Theycontinued on pleasant terms with �Klondi e� O'Donnell,and shook hands with him when he backed up his trucksto their breweries and bought his beer for distribution.Even when the war broke out Terry and Frankie madedesperate eiforts to preserve neutrality, and in a measuresucceeded.

'.£�orrio's vast political drag under the administrationwas a convincing argument, and he induced the ex-brewerto sign on the dotted line, stipulating howeverthat hewas to retain the title of �ex� which meant that Torriowas to be the front. He would remain incognito behind'l�orrio�s coat-tails should there be any trouble. It willbe interesting to tell you that there was trouble and along time later the ex�brewer was yanked from behindthe aforementioned coat-tails. It required the combinedeiforts of two great newspapers to perform this feat,however. One of them, an afternoon newspaper, appearedone �ne day with a mystery thriller in which the where-abouts of the ex-brewer was suggested although hisname was not mentioned. �i"�n.is so irritated the uhicagoTribune that Mr. Joe Stenson was unceremoniously un-covered and tossed roughly right out onto page one wherehe was well fried on both sides.

But to return to earlier and happier days for Mr.Stenson, it may quite possibly be that he regarded thepartnership with Johnn Torrio with misgivings and asinking heart. Johnny lied an unsavory reputation, andMr. Stenson might have had an impulse to tell Johnny to

fo straight to our beautifulower regions. Instead of thus

speaking however, he did thenext best thing which was tostipulate that there was to beno gun-powder competition be-tween him and the Druggan-Lake interests. Torrio ac uiescedand all gentlemen, Frankie,Johnny, Terry, and Joe, walkedhand in hand up to the beerfront.

Before long a score of brew-eries were operating day andnight as in the good old days.Hoodlums, armed with auto-matics, sawed-oil� shot guns andother weapons, aided sometimesby the police guarded great con-voys as they rumbled over thecobble-stones. So rapidly werethey brought up to the beerfront that Chicago soon founditself dotted with seven or eightthousand speakeasies, and thecustomers were lapping 'em upat twenty-�ve cents a stein,proving again that the publicpays and pays and pays.

Pun-ishment came swiftly to thosewho were unwise enough to vio-late any of the rules, for Johnnyand Al established their own en-forcement agencies, and therewere skull-cracking crews, beer-ninning contingents, and regularsta.�'s of killers. It was a greatsystem, and when Johnny or Al __told you to �laugh that one o��you didn't laugh. Even when theorganization was operating witha maximum of smoothness andorder there was always a littlekilling or beating up job to betaken care of, and Johnny andAl had it done as a routinematter. But despite all this per-fection of organization the busi-ness was getting tougher everyday, and Little Johnny lookedupon the tell-tale signs with mis-givings. His booze syndicate wascausing him more trouble everyday, and he began to wonder ifsomeday these persistent little�ares of revolt might not growinto a consuming conflagration.The booze business had broughthim into contact with a diiferentbreed of tough guy from the pimp and the pander andthe pickpocket associated in the vice business. An occa-sional murder was all right, but the casualties brought onby this new business were too many. Johnny's weeklypayroll, estimated at more than $25,000, included a breedof individual who had personal courage and plenty of it.Burglars, second story men, safe-crackers, sluggers forlabor unions, had gone into the liquor business feelingthat it alforded them a chance to go straight for the �rsttime in their lives. The obvious rewards lured them to afrenzy comparable to that of the adventurous spirits whojoined the gold rush of �d9. Johnny knew that the moneythey were making was bad for them, but there could beno salary reductions. A hoodlum with a thousand bucksloose on the community was a dangerous man, especiallywhen he went out to play.

Alas, Johnny saw that conditions were not the sameas in the old days, when he could slap a pimp in the facewith his �st and get awa with it. Let him try that stuffon such vassals as Dion l�Ba.nion over on the North Side,or Frankie MacEarlane and his barb-wire kid brother,Vincent, or Joe Saltis, or Lefty Koncil, or �Little Hymie�Weiss, or Schemer Drucci or Red Hoban.

Suddenly they got it. One of themen in the front seat, believed to have been Frank Mac-Earlane, turned round, and emptied an automatic into them.

They were then tossed out into n 1. , 'in a locality known as Beer Cemetery.Keane was dead probably before he hit .the earth, but Egan, with half a dozenwounds, crawled for miles crying for help.Finally he got into the Palos Park GolfClub just at dawn. Believing himself dy-ing Egan told the only employee thereat that hour that he was a bootlegger inthe service of �Spike� O�Donnell. Mac-Earlane was arrested and held in a hotelfor a few days before being released.Under pressure, however, indictments werereturned l1'l which were named Joe Saltis,Willie Channel, Johnny Hoban, RalphSheldon and Willie Niemoth and Mac-_Earlane. Incidentally they were tossedinto the wastebasket four months later.

All this was bad business and Torrioshuddered to think of the future with allof these tough boys doing their stuff.Johnny made no public estimate, but ifhe had it is doubtful if he would have -�xed the number of gangsters to bite the sawdust in thenext couple of years at more than 300.

�Spike� O�Donnell could not be brought into the fold,although peace was offered him. �Spike� had come from a�ghting family back-0-the-yards district and had a fewfriends in the city hall himself, but his drag was punyand insigni�cant compared to that of Little Johnny. Buthe would not be brought to terms, and for a long timethis word could be heard in Gangland: " �Spike� O�Donnellwill never make another dime in the racket.

This rought panic to the under-world; the vast system was shot to pieces;no speakeasy proprietor knew justwhether he was "in" or �out�; Torrioworked desperately and frantically to��x� the situation, and he went aboutwith great handsiul of dough in an e�ortto bring order again to his realm: he wasonly partially successful.

This change in the administration andits consequent disaster to Torrio�s machinegave �Spike� O'Donnell the break heneeded, and he again instituted terroristic

We bring this up because a lot of the"wise�money main-tain to this da that the tall, heavy-set individual whowalked up to §'Banion, hand outstretched, was FrankieYale. Frankie was detained by the Chicago Police a fewhours later as he was about to board a train bound for

New York. But Frankie had a good alibi. He became apart of the wall oi� silence against which the words of thepolice banged in vain. Other parts of this wall, incidentally,were Alphonse Capone and Johnny Torrio. Chief of PoliceMorgan Collins, explaining why no solution of the murderwas forthcoming, stated that O'Banion had been responsiblefor at least twenty-�ve deaths in his short career, and that,as a result, a great many people appreciated the fact thathe had been put out of the way. Certain it is that the police,including Mr, Collins, wept not over O�Banion's bier. Butother thousands did. His funeral set a high mark forthose that came after. Nothing had been seen in Chicagoquite like it since the �nal obsequies were made for "Big"Jim Colosimo, when the business of laying him away drewout so many judges and politicians that the affair took onthe external aspect of a political pow-wow. O'Banion�sfuneral scanclalized the public. The cortege was made upof twenty-four automobiles all loaded with �owers, onehundred twenty-two funeral cars, and with private carsstretching for blocks. As it wended its way through thestreets toward the cemetery a squad of police on motor-cycles cleared s path through traffic. The grief-strickensurvivors of the 0�Banion gang who had been crying theireyes out for days, could hardly wait until the services wereover and the $10,000 casket dropped into its hole, in orderthat they might devote themselves to avengi lovableDion's death. Louie Alterie, quite beside himselng made aparticularly hot remark and one that burned official ears.

O�Banion �rst began straining the ties that held himto Torrio by muscling in on the territory allotted to theGenna brothers on the West Side. Warned repeatedlyhe continued to defy them. 0�Bani0n believed in freespeech. He talked often and loudly. He liked to sing too,and no doubt. regarded his alley tenor as something quite�ne and beautiful. The most infiudicious remark he evermade in his long and useless li e was directed to Torrioand h_is Italian henchmen. �To hell with them Sicilians,�he said when warned directly from headquarters to stayout of the Genna territory. �You meaning Torrio! havegot your ideas, and I got mine. We�ll quit."

And so the inevitable happened. The �nger was put onO�Banion, and they killed him and now, six years later,his pals are still trying to avenge him. The death ofO�Banion brought more attention to Chicago's underworld

The underworld lost its most fantastic and picturesquepersonality and Johnny Torrio lost his most persistent

in in the neck on the morning of November 19, whenBlion O�Ba.nion�s body, heavier by six balls of lead, fellcrashing among the chrysanthemums of his little �owershop at 738 North State Street. This �ower shop, inti-mately connected with some of the most thrilling chaptersin the long and bloody sto�i;y of Boozedom, stands intacttoday, and the proprietor, illiam Scho�eld, stands manycustomers on the spot where 0�Banion fell while he takesorders for �owers. 0'Banion, in partnership with Scho�eldand Samuel �Nails� Morton, used the little shop as ablind for his prodigious criminal activities. �

A glad hand artist, an ex rt at throwing the bull,this paradoxical mixture of fl:-ocity and sentimentalitystepped high wide and handsome through the shadowyrealm of the underworld for a dozen years, cracking safes,shooting up saloons, terrorizing polling places, �guring innewspaper circulation wars, hi-jacking iquor and thumbinghis nose at public prosecutors,� His ability to thumb his nose at public prosecutors,ascribable to his own more or less valuable services tocertain North Side political leaders, �rst attracted theattention of Johnny Torrio when Johnny was looking aboutfor breweries and talented gentlemen to aid him in whatwas a new and inviting racket. -

0�Ban.ion, a typical neighborhood gangster from boy-hood, had assembled a formidable gang i.n_the persons ofsuch men as Samuel �Nails� Morton, Louie �Three-Gun"Alterie, �Little I-Iymie� Weiss, George �Bugs� Moran,Schemer Drucci, George and Pete Gusenberg and otherlesser individuals. Torrio and 0�Banion came to an under-standing and O'Banion�s territory was established on theNorth Side. Presently he had, to use his own expression,stepped up into the bucks. O�Banion�s power resulted fromthe application of methods quite unlike those of JohnnyTorrio and Capone. His realm was built on friendship,with pecuniary considerations secondary. O'Banion de-ended upon his pals, and his pals depended upon him.glis death however proved conclusively to the interested

spectator, that the almighty dollar furnishes a strongerbasis for the relations between organized crime and ma.-chine politics than brotherly love. 0'Banion was ever-readyto ai and protect anybody in his neighborhood and helcnew everybody. The poor looked upon 0�Ban.ion as a greatand good man, and he never forgot them. Across the streetfrom his �ower shop stood Holy Name Cathedral in which0'Banion had been an altar boy. Samuel "Nails" Mortonwas one of 0�Banion�s closest friends from boyhood. Mor-ton was dubbed "Nails" when quite a lad because he wasthat hard. �Nails� served in the World War and emergedwith several decorations for bravery and a commission.

Sammy was a great in�uence on O'Banion's intellectualdevelopment, if any. He took his blustering buddy by thehand and led him down the booze trail to prosperity andbig dough before Torrio completed the job. In the little�oral hop to ether these two men sat among the cama-tions and the �lies and plotted such booze robberies as theremoval of 5,000 gallons of excellent liquors from theRoyal Drug Company on forged permits. Ah! What aswell job that was! Six uniformed policemen aided in thework of loading the liquor onto trucks, and, when thelast quart of 0| Taylor had been gathered in, Sammy gavethe signal and the cops blew whistles and you and me,scarring down the street in our Model T stopped withscreeching brakes, while Sammy and 0�Banion moved outinto the tra�ic. A great yowl, heard all over town, resultedfrom that job. The permits had looked all right enough,

[14]

and they had road sll right, but, too late, somebody dis-covered that they were phony.

�Nails� taught O'Banion to �wear dimer jackets andto live in �ne otels and how to use his knife and forkand to be a gentleman. He is given credit for also teachingthe blustering Irishman that tplolitical pull is more potentfor a raclgeteer on occasions an pistols. �Get the politi-cians working for you" was s complicated principle whichSamuel pounded into 0'Banion�s head. It is said that"Nails" invented the famous phrase �take him for s ride"by which is meant that traitors spies, squeslers and stoolpigeons, were disposed of by being placed in the frontseat of an automobile and shot by somebody in the rearseat. Curiously enough �Nails� himself was taken for aride one Sunday morning, only it wasn't that kind of a ride."Nails" in togs was en route from s stable oneSunday morning to Lincoln Park for s canter. The horse,not knowing what _a tou h y �Nails� was, became unrulybefore they reached the ath and �Nails� was thrownviolently to the pavement. The horse then stepped onMr. hlortoifs head. A few hours later, legend has it, Louie�Three Gun" Alterie, again rented the horse, rode it to aremote spot and then pumped a bullet into the horse's head.

A new story used to appear every day about O�Banion'sloyalty to a 2:1, h.is bravery, his great love for gun play,his love for �s mother and wife, and his �Robin Hood"methods. Here is one on the �pal� theme. In the daysbefore the Golden Era of prohibition O'Banion was not atall averse to sensational holdups. Once he and his mobplanned to �take� a certain race track which was aboutto open, on the West Side. Wind of this came to the pro-moters, one of whom knew a newspaper man who wasfriendly -with O�Banion. All being native Chicagoans,instead of informing the police, the promoters went to thenewspaper man. O'Banion was called by telephone andthe newspaper man said, �Say Deany, I want you to do afavor for me.� It was okey with 0'Banion, even when thenewspaper man informed him that the favor meant assem-bling some of his boys and working as a guard over thetill at the race track. Sure enough on the day of the race,0�Banion with a gang of his hoodlums, all armed, stoodaround the box offices ready for war if anybody attemptedto spring anything. Later 0'Banion learned from thenewspaper man that a fast one bad been put over on himbut he received the news with great relish.

It will serve to illustrate the important position0'5.-i:'iion wcupied to mention a party given in his honorseveral days prior to his death. The hosts included thecommissioner of public works, the county clerk, half adozen police lieutenants, and the chief of detectives.Michael Hughes. A diamond studded watch was presentedto 0�Banion on this occasion. When news of the partygot out, there was a great noise and Detective Hughesexplained that he had come to the party thinking it wasto be given in honor of another, Jerry 0�Co1mer, secretaryof the Theater Janitors� Union. �I was framed," saidHughes, �and I got out as quickly as I could.�

The unwillingness of O�Banion to take orders fromTorrio, plus his ambition to extend his activities intoforbidden territory brought about his break with Torriosnd�his sensational and sudden death. It is likely thatTorrio took 0'Banion under his wing as a matter of policy.Torrio put as many boards in his political fence as he couldlay hands on and 0�Banion represented a wide plank onthe North Side. But O�Banion's �amboyant style was irri-tating to Torrio, and he felt that 0�Ba.nion would bringtrouble into the realm with his high-handed methods. Torriowas a business man �rst and a gangster second. 0'Banionwas ahgangster. Torrio would rather bribe a policemanthan '1 him. 0�Banion would rather bribe him too ifhe didn't want too much. Two policemen once appro riateds truck load of beer belonging to 0'Banion and g�orrio.They demanded $300 to release it. �then he was told thisover the telephone by one of the beer-runners, detectiveslistening in on a tapped wire, heard him sa , �Oh, to hellwith them guys. I can bump �em o�� for hallf that much.�Later, the same voice, told 0�Banion that Torrio in themeantime had instructed that the cops be paid the money.�We don't want no trouble," Torrio had said. And thereyou have the essential difference between Torrio and0�Banion. One didn't want trouble; the other was alwayslooking for it.

Even the happy and carefree Terry Drugganand Frankie Lake took it on the chin during thistroubled period. Having been enjoined by FederalJudge Wilkerson from operating one of their brew-eries this inseparable pair said �Oh, Yeah" andproceeded to remove large quantities of amber�uid therefrom. One night a squad of prohibitionofficers descenda� upon them and Darnon and � -thias were brought up before the judge and he til/athem to go to the county sail for a year.

Heset out blithely for California where, months later,he was gathered in and returned to Chicago. Hewalked through the portals of Sheriff Peter B.I-Io�'man�s lodging house in November.

At this time spies from the North Side reportedthat O�Banion, in addition to violating the terri-torial rights of the Gonna brothers, was �runningo�' the chin� on the subject of Torrio�s power.Q:Ba_nion�s slogan at this time seems to have been,"To Hell With Torrie.� The Gen-nas were summoned and methodsdevised to punish the revoltingvassal.

But King Torrio, on thisoccasion, strangely enough only carriedabout $23,000 in cash, but it was enoughto bail himself and his companion,James Casey, out of custody. O�Banion,caught short remained in jail until pro-fessional bondsmen, William Skidmoreand Ike Roderick, long associated withgambling and vice in Chicago, couldrise earlier than their wontand pry himout with the requisite $5,000.00. Wonderwas expressed at the time over the factthat Torrie had not peeled oi? the$5,000 for Dion. Later events provedthat the �amboyant Irishman was inextremely bad odor with the king, andthe Sieben �asco served to bring theirlong association to just about the break-ing point. 0�Banion, walking out of theFederal building with Skidmore andRoderick, spoke in no uncertain termsof this man who supposedly told himwhat was what. �He�s a god-damdouble-crossing wop,� exploded Dion,�and he-�s turning yellow all over.�0�Banion explained that Torrio had

bailed Casey out of jail in order to havea body guard en route home. It wasquite plain that 0'Banion was in revolt.

F r the next few months Torrio en-gaged himself in Cicero where matterswere far from ideal. The 0'DonneIlswere helpin themselves to a lot of hiscustomers, �ddie Tancl was de�ant toall propositions and overtures, and, ontop of it all, the Gonna brothers over inLittle Italy were whispering at the topof their voices that O�Banion was eon-tinuing his efforts to �muscle in� ontheir territory. Elsewhere in his realmwas sporadic warfare. Joe Saltis washaving a great time with �S};ike"0�Donnell�s marauding bands o hi-jackers, terrorists an killers. Gang-sters were being taken for �rides� fromwhich there was no return, saloons androadhouses were being bombed with in-creasing regularity. Torrio probablyshed no tears during this period whenhe learned that Walter O'Donnell, wasarrested and charged with the murderof Alfred Dickman, Walter, brother of�Spike� virtually clubbed Dickman todeath with his �sts.

from time to time. In Octobe 923, he was �ned forillegally manipulating a brewery transfer, and the strainwas too much on his over-taxed nerves. Incidentally it wasin this period that Mr. Joe Stenson, aforementioned, wasshocked to �nd his name and address published on pageone of the newspapers.

The harassed Torrio began now to show de�nite aiglnsof weakening. Instead of remaining on the job at t isperiod as he had planned, he decided to take a vacation.And, for the next six months he was out of the city. Partof his vacation was spent in Europe and in Italy, the placeof his birth. In Italy he purchased a great villa for hismother. �

He returned in March. This period marks the date ofhis decline, just as it marks the beginning of the rise topower of his lieutenant, Al Capone. As Torrio had grownsuperior to Colosimo, so had Capone %Tl�!�W�I92 superior toTorrio. It is extremely doubtful that orrio would havebothered to return to Chicago if he bad known what awaitedhim. The beer war was about to begin. Blood was to bepoured into the beer. The shooting that can still be heardround the world was to break out in the Beer War.

BEER onThe �heat� in Chicago during those days of cold March,

1924, was intense for all gentlemen of the gat and themachine gun. When Johnny came slinking home therewere no processions or celebrations in honor of the event.Matters in the Tori-io-Capone camp were too grave for anydisplay. Newspapers were smoking with propagandaagainst their rule. "The man with the gat" must go,they cried; Chicago must wrench itself free from the gripof crime. The attitude of Mayor Dever was conducive to acleanup. His chief of police, Morgan A. Collin, was a fear-less man of the highest integrity. He was anathema toTorrio, whose strongest point of political contact was inthe state's attorney's o�ice.

Immediately after his return to Chicago Torrio sum-nioned his adherents to a meeting �place in the MetropoleHotel on South Michigan Boulevar , where the most im-portant matter discussed was that of holding their ownin Cicero whither Torrio had moved headquarters some-time earlier by comparatively peaceful methods. Cicero,a western suburb, soon found itself complete! over-runby the underworld element. Torrio made it the base of hisgambling and beer-running interest, and the town leapedinto national fame as one of the toughest spots on earth.

Ingress into Cicero had not �been entirely without dim-culty however, for now they encountered the West SideO'Donnells, also Valley boys with Terry Druggan andFrankie Lake, who looked with envious eyes upon thisterritory. The squabbles between the Tori-io-Capone andWest Side O�Donnells were of comparative uiiiniportancehowever until late in 1925 when William McSwiggiii, anassistant state�s attorney was murdered one evening whenspending an evening with the O'Donne1ls. But there werefrequent disturbances, splitting of skulls, bombing ofs eakeasies, and general trouble over customers. Anotherobstacle in the path of Torrio was Eddie Taiicl, a nativeof Cicero, who dabbled in the illicit liquor tra�ic and wasthe proprietor of a cabaret in Cicero. Eddie regarded theadvance of the 0�Donnells and the Ca ne-Tori-io out�twith hostile eyes, and he was to die for lliis uiifriendlinessa few monthsilater. _

On the eve of the Cicero election a second meeting ofthe Torrio-Capone gangmen was held, this time in theFour Deuces Saloon, 2222 South Wabash, owned by Capone.Every-ready Al stepped forward with the request that thebusiness of swinging the election be placed in his capablehands. And it was. The election became a riot, the daywas saved for Gangland, but Al lost his kid brother FrankCapone, in the smoke of a pistol battle with the police.The particular bullet which ended young Capone�s care/er

[io

,' i

came from a it ,ion owned and wielded by SergeantWilliam Cusiack, of the Chicago Police force.

Gangland -mourned the passing of Al's brother thenext day, instead of celebrating their technical victoryat the polls. Torrio with others important in the highcouncils of his organization visited at Capone's home.Every one of the 123 saloons in Cicero locked its doorsby order of his l�Il8fi8BtY, Johnny, and it was the dryestday in the history o the town, beioi-e or after prohibition.

The slaying of Capone together with the hell raisedgenerally during the election, inspired another cyclone ofwords from the public ofllcials, particularly from State�:Attorney Robert E. Crowe. Inquests and investigationstripped up as usual. Alphonse himself testified at theinquest, but after some curious sign language betweenhim and Charles Frisclietti, coméianion of Frank at thetime of his death, Alphonse sud enly suifered a loss ofmemory.

Despite this technical victory, Torrio found conditionsin his realm growing increasingly unpleasant. A monthafter the election another one of his breweries was knockedoff and, surprisingly and signi�cantly enough, this timeit was done by Chief of Police Morgan Collins and CaptainMatthew Zimmer. The brewery was the Sieben Breweryon the North Side. The police attack on it was one of themost beautifully executed jobs which ever a gangsterlooked upon with dismay. Nobody except the leaders,Collins and Zimmer, knew what was going to happen,hence there was no tip-off. With their uniformed menwondering where and what, Chief Collins and CaptainZimmer led them after midnight to the big brewery wherethei swooped down on men guarding thirteen truckloadsof eer, ready to be conveyed through the streets. Theconvoy, comdposed of gang eaders, was arriving in auto-mobiles, an , as each automobile deposited its cargo ofgangsters, the police gathered them up. It was a greataggregation an made a swell �who's who" of Gang and.All the big shots were there. King Torrio, Dion O�Banion,�Three-Gun" Louie Alterie, Hymie Weiss and others.

State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe was the logicalpublic o�icial to receive this prize, but, signi�cantly enoughChief Collins delivered it instead to United States AttorneyOlsen, a great pain in the neck to all gentlemen of theunderworld. When asked why, this ace of policemen,responded vagely that . . . Attorney Olsen had promisedprompt coiiperation, and despite the fact that it was apolice raid, pure and simple, the government was to dothe prosecuting.

A curious thing about gangsters is that they neverventure out of doors without �rst "healing" themselveswith plenty of money. Angelo Genna, whose gaudy career,was to end in a few months, was �heeled� to the extent of

The O�Donnells and the O'Banions and their breed nevercould learn murder nicely and cleanly.

Louie who was, as you might infer from this, quite aloud noise, was discovered a few weeks later in the Mid-night Frolics' Cafe by Captain Stege of the DetectiveBureau.

Let us rush to add however that despite this humiliationwhich he took without any retaliating gesture, Louie wasreally a tough guy. �He was smart enough to know how-ever, that it just wasn't his play to slap back.

The �owers on O'Banion's grave had hardly witheredand dropped away from their tinsel frames when anotherpicturesque tough boy of the underworld bit the sawdust.He was Eddie Tancl, a native son of Cicero whose placeof refreshment, the Hawthorne Inn was highly popularwith his Bohemian countrymen. They assembled indroves there to lift a few and to hear thick-neckedEdward discourse authoritatively on the_ re�ned pro-fession of prize-�ghting in which he, in his salad days,had been engaged with moderate success. The HawthroneInn dispensed more beer probably than any �fty of the150 other thirst clinics in Cicero which was why theO'Donnell boys lay awake nights thinking up ways inwhich Eddie could be induced to become a stop on theirbeer-runners� rounds. Eddie however had reluctantly signedup with Johnny and Al, both of whom he regarded withhatred and as tyrants in his own realm. But Johnny andA] had told Edward that he could either buy their stuff orelse and so he bought.

�Klondike� O'Donnell, leader of the horde had beenquite successful in pushing himself into the preserves ofAl and Torrio during the political depression in Gangland,a fact largely ascribable to the talents of the toughs whocalled him boss. Most of them, like �Klondike� himself,had been labor racketeers before prohibition, and weren'texactly foreigners to Rough Stuff. Some of '_�Klondike�s�boys who were healthy and feeling well at this particularperiod included his brothers Myles and Bernard, FurSammons, James Doherty, Thomas Dulfy, Mike QuirkJohnny Barry and �Rags� McCue. Also, most ofthese boys are now departed this vale of tears but my,my. what hell they raised before leaving. All of themwere tough, but William �Klondike� was tough enoughto hold the leadership, although there were times _when hehad to demonstrate the fact in grisly emphatic ways.There was the sad case of �Rags� McCue who had worked

long and faithfully �Klondike� hustling beer out inthe warm Cicero country where a machine gun bulletmight have found him any minute. When "Rois" wasn'tworking he liked to plaster himself with whis y in evilplaces. Once, on a bender, he found himself with about$1,600 in collections which he had not yet tamed over to�Klondike.� After the �Party, which was of several la alength, �Rags� reports for work, broke but hostile. �ehad �spilled� the grand, but what of it? William saw hisduty quite plainly. �Rags� must be punished, just as alesson to his fellow tribesmen. And so �Klondike� whaledin and when he had �nished �R s" was bleeding and help-»less. Both arms were broken. ageveral days later �Rags�appeared at headquartea with his arms in casts. The sighttouched William and James Doherty so deeply that theyinveigled him into an automobile and took him for a rideand "Rags" never came back. Nice fellows. Four of hishenchmen �nally became so tough that �Klondike� had todispose of them in the usual way as we shall see in duetime. At this period however he had them pretty wellunder his thumb.

�Klondike�had just about lost patience with Eddie Tancl.The tubby little Bohemian wou1dn�t listen to reason,

threats, pineapples, or gunpowder. One night as William laawake trying to �nd an idea which would bringEddie around:two of his prized henchmen, James J. Doherty and Myles0'Donnell,dropped into the Hawthorne Inn for a beer. E diegreeted them affably enough and motioned them to a tablewhich, from his vantage point behind the bar, he couldcover with a sharp and alert eye. After about two hoursand twelve or �fteen �shells� of the amber �uid, plusseveral �shots� of whisky, their voices had develogedfrom quiet, gentlemanly, well-modulated tones into w atwe shall describe as rather loud noise. Eddie, himself,catching the gala spirit and not altogether without a littleglow induced by the small ones he had been having withthe customers all evening, came over and sat down withJimmy and Myles. Well, there were a. few more drinks,compliments of Eddie, when the conversation drifted intoplain shop talk. Jimmy and Myles insisted on deploringthe fact that Eddie was getting his stuff from the "greaseball� meaning Mr. Capone or Mr. Torrio.

Maybe Eddie tried politely to change the conversationfor they sat there for a long time; but the old subjectwould return, and, just as the bleak country was growinginto rugged outline against a tinted sky, the Sabbath dayat Cicero was heralded by a succession of revolver shots.If you had been strolling down the street that morningat that time you would presently have seen two youngmen, rushing out from the Hawthorne Inn, cursing andbrandishing smoking revolvers, and, a few seconds lateryou would have beheld another individual as he staggereddeterminedly out of that door. You would have watchedEddie Tanc , more dead than alive, trying to over-takethose men, and, horri�ed you would have watched the littleex-prize �ghter's steps grow slower and slower until �n-ally they would move no rnore�_-even for a guy as toughas Eddie Tancl.

All of Eddie�s shots however did not go awry. A fewminutes after it was all over Mr. 0�Donnell discovered tohis intense surprise that several slugs of lead were imbeddedin his tough person, and he was forced to hold long andserious sessions with a surgeon, for many months to come.

The murder of Eddie Tancl was good news to Johnnyand Al, although the _crude method by which he was dis-patched probably illicited contemptuous sniifs from them.

The artistically e�lcient homicide of I-Iymie Weiss drovehome to every ambitious hoodlum in Chicago the grimlesson that the man of destiny among them was AlphonseCapone, and that the best possible life insurance was areserved seat on his band wagon. The prestige of theNorth Side gang vanished like pu�s of smoke in a wind-storm when news of his demise was blazoned across thetown. Vincent �Schemer� Drucci bowed apparently tothe inevitable for when King Al suggested that anothertruce be held he was smart enough to acquiesce. But theSchemer had mental reservations as we shall see.

The meeting took place in the Morrison Hotel onOctober 21, 1926, and the size of the representation wasin itself a tribute to Capone. The Big Fellow himself wasnot there, but the terms which were laid down byAnthony Lombardo and Maxie Eisen, the eminentJewish racketeer, had come from him, and you maybe sure that no stipulations were made this time.Even �KIondike" O'Donnell was represented. His delegatewas instructed to say yes to everything and not to sitaround with his �ngers crossed either. UnfortunatelyJoe Saltis, still in jail awaiting the verdict on the chargeof murdering Mitters Foley, could not get s leave ofabsence, but he was represented by the Schemer andGeorge Moran. Ralph Sheldon was there, and _so wasEdward �Splice� O�_lJom1ell. Tony Lombardo, a big shotin the Unione Siclliane, an important Italian political

organization, regiresented _ Ca-pone ss did axle Elsen, ,the eminent Jewish racketeer-and stink bomb thrower. Lom-hardo laid down the territoriallines. Dnicci and Moran were

resented with the entire NorthSide, limited on the south andwest by the Chicago river, onthe east by Lake Michigan butextending north as far as theArctic Circle. The South Sidewas

ec�iallydivided between "Spike,"S eldon and Saltis, but don�t �you believe a word of it. Nopeace pact in history has everstl�ed a congenital homicidalimpulse, nor did this one, TheLeague of Nations itself couldnot alleviate the sad conditionof affairs along the South Sidebeer front where, incidentally,a few days before the confer-ence, Mr. Saltis had orderedthe dynamiting of one of hiscustomer's saloons because the

�oprietor, Mr. Joseph Kepkad refused to help Joe pay

W. �W. O�Brien�s legal bill.Another swell homicidal

impulse, wearing smiles andalying yes all over the ban-quet hal , was Schemer Drucci,but it was destined never to begiven another good play.

On November 9 the terror-ized jurors announced thatSaltis and Lefty Koncil werenot guilty of murdering Mit-ters Foley and Big Joe wenthome to fall into numerous

huddles with John �Dingba. Oberta, as well as to re-adhis mail. There was an interesting letter from relativesof Hillary Clements, the Sheldon gangster, who had beenmissing several months and Joe was imglored to marl:the spot where he had left the body so t it might beEven a decent burial. But it was not until �ve weeks later

at the body was found and, would you believe it, thespot was e vacant lot behind the house where Hillary'ssurvivors lived.

Gangland ushered in the new year, 1926, by removingone John Costenaro, a Sheldon beer customer, from thescene and, lo far as this reporter can determine Mr. Cos-tenaro has not yet been found. Efforts to C01';ltPlEtQ�}X1 doaway with Theodore Anton. were not so socces__ol, ___eo-dore, known as �The Greek,� owned the Hawthorne Arms,headquarters of the Big Fellow. Theodore had been apretty tough guy in his day and had come to the Caponegang with a creditable career in the prize ring to recom-mend him, but as the years rolled on something hagpenedto him, and he made a big nuisance of himself y de-veloping the evil of his way and the ways of his com-panions and tenants. Anton carried sweetnes and lightto the point of hinting that he was through with sin andvice and that Capone's lease on the building would not berenewed. And so Anton the Greek was soon missingroll-call around the Hawthorne Arms Hotel, and, a long,long afterward Ms body. or what was left oi it, wasremoved from a hole of quick-lime in a vacant lot inBurnham, Indiana, near the backyard of Johnny Patton,Burnham�s boy mayor and a good friend of Al Capone-

On the South Side, believe it or not, Edward �Spike�O'Donnell was accused of having designs on Joe Saltis,Lefty Koncil and their blue-eyed boy, John �Dingbat�Oberta, the eminent ward committeeman. Whether trueor not, Koncil and Charles �Big Hays" Hrubec, were �redat on March 11 as they were touring in �Spike� O�Donnell'sterritory. �Lefty� and Hrubec jumped out of the car andwere running at top speed for shelter in an apartmenthouse lobby, when, over urdened by bullets, they collapsedin death. �Spike� O'Donnell did this foul murder,� saidJoe Saltis to newspaper reporters, "I am not in the beer

racket.� On the day of his re-lease from the county jail,�Lefty,� who was a rathernasty~tempei-ed little fellow,snarled on page one that hehad been pushed around longenough by certain persons onthe South Side and that hehimself intended to go in forpushing in a big way.

department, shortly after the long series of investigationshad begun into the mystery: �It was Al Capone, togetherwith three of his henchmen, Frank Rio, Frank Diamond,

and Bob McCullough.� Sergt. McSwiglgin was positive.He had inside information, he said, w �ch he had givento the authorities. Two material witnesses were also named,Edward Moore and Willie Heeney. Moore proved, however,that he was in the loop, and nothing of value was gainedfrom questioning Heeney.

But the dead man's father's charges in�amed the publicstill more, and the question "Who killed McSwiggin'!� wasnow linked with another one, "�rhere is Capone?" ButAl was nowhere to be found. The atmosphere was entirelytoo much for him, and, shortly after the �rst smokingheadlines announcing the murder appeared,Alphonse was inIlls great armor-plated automobile. speeding over the high~ways to a secret hide-out somewhere in Indians.

But he came back. I-Ie came back a few days later in agrand manner which must have been impressive to "LittleHymie� Weiss. Capone dictated the terms by which hewould surrender to the detectives from Mr. C1-owe's oflice,and he was met at the Indiana state line. Capone is nota great talker, but he says plenty when the public is occa-sionally fsvored with his utterances. And this time it gotdynamite.

�Of course I didn�t kill McSwiggin," he slid. �Whyshould I�! I liked the kid. Only the day before he gotlmocked of!� he was over at my place and when he wenthome I gave him a bottle of Scotch for his old man. IfI�d wanted to imock him oi, I could have done it then,couldn't I? We had him on the spot. I'm no squawker,but get a load of this. I paid Mcswiggin and I paid himplenty, and I got what I was paying for."

Mr. C;sone's precipitate �ight had looked bad but hehad s g answer for that c�uestion, too. �I was afraidthat some saphead ccgrper wou d plug me on sight, just toget himself promote ." Capone was released three daysafter his surrender. At this time it was reported that�Fur"Samrnons having fallen out with�KIondike,"had com-mitted the murders out of revenge. And so, one day, �Fur�

I28]

limped into Crowe's oi�ce on crutches. �See these legs]:he said, pointing, �Well, I was over callinf on my �sweetieat the Beauty Parlo5_ when some o thesebails� let me have it." The McSwiggin murder continued amystery, but the mystery of the Beauty Shop shootinghad been solved.' As an aftermath of the McSwiggin murder there were

a series of raids in Cicero with such outstanding hauntsof vice being temxpgararily knocked off as �The Ship,� "TheStockade," and � e Hawthorne Smoke Shop," all Caponeinstitutions. Despite this gesture on the part of the policethe McSwiggin case ointed very de�nite y to the fact theBi Fellow of Gangihnd was not "Little Hymie" Weiss,oralilliaim "Klondike" O'Donnell or any of the others. TheBig Fellow was Al Czgone. "When I wanted to open 1saloon in Cicero,� said arry Madigan, owner of_ the saloonin front of which iidcSw:ggin fe.li,_ �I iota visit from nuCapone. He told rne I cou n�t go mto usmess there. ButI �nally got some political �pressure myself and openedup anyway. Al came aroun shortly after and told methat I would have to buy my beer from him, and not theO'Donnells. So I did." _ _

King Al could see the handwi-1t_:ng on the front pageshowever, and he knew that peace in Gangland was aboutas desirable to Chicagoans as good beer.

The O'Donnells have been going great guns exceptfor one Federal �rap� which they could not beat 111the courts. This concerned their disssterous raid 0]!the Morand Government Warehouse in the Valley, theirold starrrmg gT'�i1�ii. The warehouse contained thousand;-':of barrel�! of excellent whisky and it was James '_�F1I1'_Summons who conceived the bright idea of siphoning itwith a hose. And so one night, a watchman making hllrounds. discovered that bars on a window of the second�oor had been cut and that through a small rubber hoseof great length now lying on the ground, thousands ofgallons of the precious liguid had been sighoned. He gavethe alarm. W'hen Pat oche, ace of e investigators.surveyed the scene, he gave instructions that the equip-ment should not be disturbed and that the matter was to

.../ I

be kept quiet. Pat knew that the raiders 1 cl return.They did. And, as Johnny Barry who was in -om somedistance away, �tting a rubber tube into i ls, gavetwo jerks on a rope, �Klondike� and "Fur" bmnmons, inthe warehouse, began to pump and the whiskly beganto move. And Mr. Roche gathered all three of t em intohis automobile and drove them to the Federal building.

The turmoil resultant from McSwiggin caused him toabandon all plans to break up the Saltis-Weiss alliance.Ralph Sheldon lost two more of his gangsters on April 5in Frank DeLaurentis and John Truccello, and had obtainedpromises from King Al that reinforcements would be sentup to the front when the McSwiggin murder caused achange in Capone's plans. But he was too busy to stepout as a diplomat for a long time and in the interval thecon�ict continued. On the West Side the �eld was more orless clear, for �Klondike,� Sammons and Berry went to'ail for the booze robbery. Each had a two-year tag onhim. Hymie Weiss was busy aiding Saltis wheneverpossible and in trying to get a shot at Ca one. I-Iymie'sgangsters killed a Genna �alky" cooker, Creme di byname, who was crazy enough to appear on the Gold Coast

The bullets again -18d Vincent, but FrankConlon, a Saltis chauffeur, was killed. The murder wascommitted by �Mitters" Foley and the Saltis gangsterswere wild with rage. At this time Mr. Sheldon made apublic statement to the e�ect that if Joe Saltis daredharm a hair of Mr. Foley�! head, he, Mr. Sheldon, despitehis weakening condition due to tuberculosis, would surelymurder Mr. Saltis. And so, on August 6, three days later,Mr. Foley was killed. The public began to wonder whetheror not the South Side beer war, like the babbling brook,was going to run on forever. Well, as a matter o fact, itwas. But King Capone, beginning to get the view-pointof Johnny Torrio, stepped forth as a peace-maker. The factthat Joe Saltis, Lefty Koncil, John �Dingbat� Oberta andBig Earl Herbert, were now in a lot of legal �heat� havingbeen indicted for Foley's murder was prima facie evidenceof the Big� Fellow� sincerity. Even "Little Hymie� Weissbelieved t at Capone meant it when he went about saying"we don't want no more trouble." �

é-ZlDIPLOMATJ: the some of Jenn every hue rkouldBend in heaven and on earth.

And so King Al, the Big Fellow stepped forth as anemissary of peace. Unfortunately for prosperity in Booze-dom he �opped. Except for one unfortunate little shootingaffray involving Vincent �Schemer� Drucci, one of �LittleHymie�s" most highly prized mes, Capone's elforts mighthave been unsuccessful. We hurry to the facts. TheSchemer, paradoxically enough, went in for paintings andgood music and beautiful thingls. It was passing strange

ow this esthetic hoodlum w 0 wept copiously at theCivic Opera could top off an evening in comgpny with hisdynamic little chief and George �Bugs� oran whoseartistic sensibilities had developed no fu�her "rhapsthan Mutt and Jeff. For in their company the dllllemerwas of-ten called upon to torture a stool pigeon, or in-veigle a traitor to the cause into the front seat of anautomobile for a long, long ride. But the Schemer coulddo it. And how! It was he who represented the class ofthe Weiss mob, _j_ust_as _the_aristocratic touch in the goodold days when O�Banion held sway was provided by Samuel�Nails� Morton before he fell o�� his horse. The Schemerwas largely responsible for the fact that "Little Hymie"was induced to move into more retentious uarters onDiversey Boulevard, although headquarters still remainedabove the Scho�eld Flower Shop.

One sultry August afternoon �Little Hymie� and theSchemer, dressed in the correct mode, strolled nonchalantlydown the Boul Mich. As they were passing the Harvesterbuilding whom should they meet ut two of Capone�schildren, Frankie Rio and Tony �Molps� Volpe. Now whengangster meets gangster, the result is that gats �y out ofpockets especial y made and leather-lined to hold them,and that is exactly whet happened on this summer after-noon. Msny shots were�red, and many, many people outthere on the world�s most regal street, some of themvisitors to Chicago, were thrown into fearful panic. Andthose who were visitorswent back to Muscatine, -and Valley Junction and�Des l�oines and New --+York and told every-body that what thepapers said about Chi-eago was true and evenworse. But nobody was�lled or wounded. _

The only result ofthe bloodless affray wasthat Capone�s peaceconference didn't meana thing. It was heldshortly after the battle,and all the Big Shotswere ther%Joe Saltis,Frankie MacEarlane,Ralph Sheldon, HymieWeiss, Vincent Drucci,Capone and some of hislieutenants, "Klondike"and Myles G�lJonr-ell,and amiable "Spike"O'Donnell from theSouth Side.

made, jokes were en. .41 about the �soup� on the menuand the "pineapple" dessert, and a police o�icial, there byspecial invitation, gazed on in amazement.

Capone made the speech of the evening. What he saidhas not, unfortunately, been preserved for posterig, jélltas he delivered it, but the wise money had it that e lgFeIlow�s words were freighted with sincerity on the �wedon't want no more maple theme." �i.ittle H":-sis�listened sullenly, remembering how Frankie and imp-Volpe had behaved themselves only a few days before.It was �okey" with �Little Hymie, this peace idea, buthe put forward one stipulation which the Big Fellow aloneheard. It was that Frankie Rio and Volpe be placed onthe spot where �I.§ttle Hymie" might transform them intocorpses. The conference ended without any of its repre-sentatives being aware of what�LittleHymie�had demandedand what the if Fellow had replied. Theg learned later.He said, �I wou dn't do that to a yellow og.�

And so there was no peace in Gangland, and �LittleHy-mie" was marked for death. He was soon to be pushedaside. His murder represents perfection in the art. itwas the most masterful! planned and executed of any ofGangland�s crimes including even the Valentine Massacrewhich was to come after.

�Little Hymie" set out however to get the Big Fellow�rst and a few days after the ill-fated conference, he and�Bugs� Moran made an unsuccessful attempt to destroyCapone on South Wabash Avenue near the_ Four DeucesCafe whither they had trailed him from Cicero. Caponeot away,mirsculously ¬Il0�lJ£l'l,8ltl�l0ll§_}1 his chau�eur, onygoes died behind his wheel. "Little ymie," bitter? d.lB»-

Another surge of energy e few days later i!!spi!92e¬!another desperate effort, this time in the very heart of theBig Fellows country. For the second time a cavalcadeof glistening motor cars passed slowly by the HawthorneHotel while machine guns poured hot lead into buildingsand windows and furniture. No bullets found lodgmentin the hated Capone gangsters however.

"Little Hymie� was too busy these days to be botheredby the old premonition that he would come to an earlyand sudden end. His gang was growing in numbers and

in dollars and In pres-tige. Gangland lookedupon him in admirationand ainazement. So

Tragically enough for the Sch rone of these detectives was a hard-bonedsergeant named Daniel Healy. It wasHealy who had picked up the Schemerand one of his henchmen, Henry Finkel-stein, as they stood sunning themselveson Diversey Boulevard. Picking uphoodlums was a passion with SergeantHealy who thought that it brought himgood luck. Once he had walked into aSouth Side saloon and helped himselfto an automatic belonging to Joe Saltis.The automatic was in Joe's coat andJoe had the coat on at the time. �Oh,you're a tough guy, with a gun, eh?"inquired Mr. Saltis. Sergeant Healyoffered to return the weapon but Joe,wisely enough, �atly refused. At anyrate no sooner had Sergeant Healy de-posited Drucci and Finkelstein in a jailcell, than an attorney appeared with awrit of habeas corpus. Out came Drucciand his henchman, and into the squadcar, enroute to the courtroom. Druccioccupied a rear seat, with SergeantHealy and one other o�icer. Finkelsteinsat with the driver. Enough di�erentstories have been told about what hap-pened during the next �ve or ten min-utes to stretch from the Rienzi hotel onDiversey Boulevard to Melrose Park.However, it is not important after all

Alrea y ecent folk had becomeweary of these displays, and the policehad announced that squads would hein attendance to seize gangsters. ButA1 Capone was there. And so wasGeorge �Bugs� Moran, and Maxie Eisen,Frank and Pete Gusenberg, Potatoes

Kauffman, Dapper Dan McCarth�§aJackMcGurn, �Dingbat" Oberta, nkieMacEarlane and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Saltis.Mrs. Drucci was consoled by Mrs. DionO�Banion. The Big Fellow derived agreat wallop of the fact that here wasone of his enemies for whose death hewould not be blamed, and he came fear-lessly, even blithely. There is no recordhowever that Alphonse wept any tearson �Bugs� Moran�s shoulder because oftheir mutual loss. The Big Fellow wasgetting all the breaks just now, and hewas sitting pretty on top of the under-world. One �ne morning the Big Fellowdiscovered that he had become famous.His position had made him quite visibleto the great naked eye of the public.For a time this attention may have

Instead of going to a courtroom the squadcar turned right around on the spot and proceeded to thecounty morgue where Mr. Drucci's body was propped up ona marble slab.

Of course there was a great hue and cry from thefamily and from the surviving members of the Schemer'sgang, all of whom had become experienced in survivingby now. Crying murder, murder, murder they rushedto hire attorneys to see that justice was done, justice inthis case being the prosecution of Mr. I-Iealy. At thecoroner�s inquest a few dayslater four prominent criminal ~-lawyers spat many mouthfulsof choice interrogations againsta simple story related from thestand by Mr. Healy. In effectit was that Mr. Drucci hadcalled him a punk copper andhad reached for Mr. Healy�sgun, but Mr. Healy having alonger reach, got there �rst.And Sergeant Healy went backto his job of picking up hood-lurns just for good luck. Thesmart. big city boys bespokethemselves out of the cornersof their mouths that SergeantHealy would get his in a veryshort while, but at this writinghe is still up and about arrest-ing hoodlums over in the toughValley district �just for goodluck."

When King Al found himself in the Loop District afterwalloping King George at the mayoralty election he lookedaround carefully and was amazed to see that a lot of

little gamblers were doing agreat big business without hav-ing a king who had e standingarmy. This condition was ob-served simultaneously byGeorge �Bugs� Moran andBarney Bertsche. In their de-sire to levy tribute from theselittle gamblers,Messrs. Capone,Bertsche, Moran end, a littlelater, the nine or ten Aiellobrothers of the North Side,ushered another period of war-fare into Chicago.

At the same time Bertsche,Moran and the Aiello boysfurther developed the scope ofthis growing crime syndicateby hooking up with Jack Zuta,over lord of a chain of viceresorts on the West Side. Jackand his chief lieutenant, SollyVision, had been having erather tough time of it all bythemselves owing to the closeproximity of several of theirpleasure institutions to similardives owned and operated by�Monkey-Faced� Charlie Gen-her, and another choice char-acter, known as Mike de PikeHeitler.

In the warfare for control of loop gambling the greatdiscovery was made by Kin Capone and Messrs. Bertsche,Moran and the Aiello brothers that, although pineapplesare not indigenous to Chicago, they �ourish as marvelouslyhere as do potatoes in Ireland, if, of course they are culti-vated properly. The laboratory ex eriments of these rivalgang mobs may be said to have been made during theirelforts to form a gambling syndicate of the Loop gambling

It was just this sort of thing thatbegan happening to the gamblers who cried robber wheninvited to join the syndicate, being formed by the BigFellow and the North Side mob.

Another reason was responsible for the fact thatthe Aiello brothers, of whom there are nine, began playingaround with Moran and his new buddies, the Bertsche andZuta mob. The Aiellos, long respectable merchants, de-voutly desired control of the Unione Siciliane, a powerfulItalian organization which at this time was under theleadership of Anthony Lombardo, who, as we have seen,had stepped out as an ally of Capone and had representedhim at the peace conference followingthe demise of �Little Hymie" Weiss.And there, roughly sketched, you havethe new scenery which appeared on theunderworld stage following the re-elec-tion of William Hale Thompson. With�Bugs� Moran behind them, the Aiellosfelt that the Big Fellow might be effi-ciently opposed, and when they ap-proached Mr. Bugs he took the matterunder advisement and spent several daysthinking it over before he acquiesced. BigGeorge Moran must have deplored thesad condition of a�airs in his once proudmob which compelled him to align him-self with an Italian organization. Foryears Bugs allowed himself to be widelyquoted as saying that his �rst principlewas never to let an Italian racketeerget behind him either in an automobile,a short saunter down the treat, or in abusiness enterprise.

The underworld began to whis rearly in 1927 that more and bloodligrwarfare was imminent. Meanwhile Ca nehad been attending to established Egal-ness as usual and on July 27, one of hisnew competitors in Burnham paid forhis usurpation with his life. At the sametime he began musciing in on theNear North Side beer and alcohol busi-ness, thus violating the terms of the

peace pact. A hood. .-1 of proven talent, Claude Maddox.was placed in charge of operations, and the �rst blowstruck by the outraged Northsiders came on August 10,when Anthon� K. Russo and Vincent Spicuzza came to atragic end. ut Capone was king and the unattached�hoods� were �ockiiifg to his standards. Others weredeserting less powe ul leaders and were casting theirfortunes with him. One of these, at this time, was JackMcGurn, who had found himself tempermentally inca ableof association with such men as Moran, Pete and lg-ankGusenbelg, Leo Mongoven, Barney Bertsche, Teddy New-berry an most of the others. King Capone adnured Mr.McGurn and saw great possibilities in him. Two othergentlemen of the_ underworld, now _fam_ous, now _de_v_'9tedtheir services to him. They were John Scalice and AlbertAnselmi, free at last from courtroom appearances, andambitious to get into action. The Big Fellow's criticismof the new alliance on the North Side was �rst madein October when several automobiles, all Equipped withmachine guns, visited the Aiello headquarters which werein a small bakery on Division Street and de sited severalhundreds of bullets all over the place, withgut, however,causing any casualties.

The Aiello-Moran-Bertsche-Zuta mob now began tomake nuisances of themselves in a big way. An ambush waslaid in the Atlantic hotel in the loop. From their frontroom the killers �covered� a cigar store across the streetin which the Big Fellow occasionally made appearances.Luck was with him or else his lookouts were marvelouslye�icient for the Aiello killers upstairs were surprised oneafternoon to �nd themselves trapped by the �police. Onthe same day another ambush was uncovere , this oneacross the street from the residence of Tony Lombardo.Eleven Aiello boys including the leader, Josegh Aiello,were soon fuming in jail cells while lawyers ew abouttrying to obtain writs of habeas corpus. While still guestsat the detective bureau an observant ofllcer spotted threemen loitering in front of the bureau and seized them.They were all Capone men, Louis "Little New York"Campagnia, Frank Beige and Sam Marcus. All carriedlight artillery and were waiting, merely to otter condo-lences to Joe Aiello and his boys. These incidents to-

ether with sporadic warfare in the Loop gambling countrygrought more and more �heat� upon the Big Fellow. Hehad become the favorite person to blame for everything,and now the position became increasingly intolerable. Butan election was coming on, a typical Chicago election,and Capone could not yet shake himself away from thecity. Chicago was stirring, the pent-up feeling againstthe Crowe-Thompson machine, was about to vent its wrath.

The atmosphere buzzed with propheciesas to what would happen at the pollswhen Judge John A. Swanson got throughwith Statc�s Attorney Robert E. Crowe,and when Louis Emmerson was done withLen Small. Crowe and Governor Smallhad been in o�-lce for seven and one-halfyears, and defeat was to over-take them.During the campaign Chicago produceda bumper pineapple crop, and the fruitwas dirt cheap. Senator Deneen and hiscandidate for the state's attorney'so�ice, Judge Swanson, both receivedpineapples at their homes on the sameevening. Other persons who were not ne-

glected include Ex:judge_l3ar_ney Barasa,Municipal Judge John Sbarbaro, LarryCuneo, brother-in-law and secretary toCrowe, and Morris Eller, political boss ofthe Valley District. At this time you willbe interested in knowning that the Gusen-bergs, Frank and Pete, spotted their oldplaymate, Jack McGurn, driving on theNorth Side. They trailed to a cigar storein the McCormick hotel, a short block ofthe Boul Mich on the Near North side.When they entered, cautiously, and withhands gripping gate, they found theirquarry busily talking in s. telephonebooth. Now telephone booths, even inChicago are not made with bullet-proof

glass, so Frank and Pete let Jack have it, and whenthey had reduced him to a crumpled position on the�oor of the booth, with blood streaming from hishead and face, they bowed themselves out. But Jack wasnot dead, although well punctured. When the police calledon him at the hospital, he told them that he did not knowwho had shot him or why, but that he would try ius levelbest to �nd out just as soon as he could get around to it.

The election was held in a great cloud of smoke andwith the better element.wearing gas-masks at the polls.Judge John A. Swanson jumped out of the ballot boxes farin front of State�s Attorney Crowe, and Mr. Thompson'smachine was reduced to a feeble, sputteringcondition. Agitation against gang anarchycontinued with increasing gusto, a factwhich inspired King Capone to depart on along-needed vacation and when the pressassociations carried back stories to Chicagofrom Los Angeles, telling how detectiveswere pushing the Big Fe.lew around, oneof the Chicago police o�icials declared thatat last Gangland was beginning to disinte-grate, and that its king was a homelesswanderer. The police then turned their at-tention to the sad case of Mr. Ben Newmark,formerly an investigator for State�s Attor-ney Robert E. Crows, but now using hisknowledge of the underworld to do s little

muscling. Alas, alas, he didn't last long, for he was outon the outh Side where sweetness and light had not yetpenetrated. Election or no election, the boys on the SouthSide continued sporadic warfare, and so one day as Mr.Newmark sat in the front room of his little bungalow infront of s window reading a newspaper, two men and amachine got upon a soap born, tool: cI.re��fiil aim {atabout four feet! and there was a loud report and thatwas the end of the latest South Side muscle. For twomonths it was quiet on all fronts, but on June 26, thenewspapers duly chronicled the fate of Big Tim Mu?hy,politician, racketeer, labor leader, robber and jail ird.

This famous characterwhom you reallyought to know better than you can knowhim here had been given one of the numer-ous vice-presidencies in the Capone gang,just before the Big Fellow left on that vaca-tion. Big Tim's duties lay mostly in thegambling �eld. One of his most ambitiousventures, a gambling house far out on Sherl-dan Road, which he had promoted in con-juction with Nicky Arnstein, had beenknocked o� and Big Tim, who had been outof Fort Leavenworth for only a short while,saw the need of making some ood con-nections in a hurry.

Big Fellow, thinking himself again -securely "in." Un-fortunately Big Tim no longer ived out in his belovedback-of-the-yards district. His place of residence now wasa charming little bungalow on the North Side, in pleasantRogers Park.- It was within cap-pistol hearing of anotherbungalow in which resided Joe Aiello. One warm Junenight the front door-bell of the Murphy domicile begmto ring and ring and ring and Big Tim, who was takinga nap, got up sleepily and went out. Nobody was there,except a coutp e of bullets and so the author of the pricelessline, �vote or Big Tim Murphy he's a cousin of mine"rolled down the concrete steps a dead man.

Capone had left the management of his empire largelyin the hands of Frank Nitti, known as the �enforcer� andHarry �Greasy Thumb" Gusick, convicted pander whohad charge of a choice killing squad. Harry was ablyassisted by Hymie �Loud Mouth� Levine. These boys suc-ceeded in convincing Mr. Aiello and Mr. Moran that theycould not prosper in Chicago unless drastic measures wereQ1-;en to get e strong hold somewhere. There is s tale,probably apocryphal, that Joe and "Bugs" negotiatedat this time for the services of the eminent Frankie Yale»whom we have met before. At any rate Frankie�s greatestmistake of his long life was in aligning himself with theAiello-Moran gang, for his punishment came on July 2,1928 in New York. The mystery of his death still intriguesthe New York police and, every time a Capone man dropsinto New York to see a �ght or start one, the detectivespush him o� to jail and ply him with questions concerningthe sad fate of Dion O�Banion�s pet hatred. On the nightof Frankie�s murder detectives established the fact thatthree long distance telephone calls had been made fromthe New York home of the mother of a Capone gangster,Louis �Little New York� Campainia, to Chicago. Onewas to the Hotel Metropole in C icago, known at thattime as the headquarters of Frank Nitti, another was to

was murdered. He was Salvatore Canale and he was killedin front of his home one hot summer evening. But theAiello mobsmen continued to tug away lnnoyingly at theCapone out�t, terrorizin alky cookers, throwing pine-lpples here and there, and taking pot shots at any Caponegangster they could �nd. It was not until September 7,�l§2R. hngrnvnr that fl-mu 111::-natal-Incl in znnlrinn 5 -".11-.----, --- navwu� won!-Iv on»; uuuuu '92-92l-92-as an sunun 5 scan;important killing. The victim was Tony Lombardo, Caponelieutenant, and head of the Unione Sicilians and the mannerin which he was eliminated was inextpressibly daring. Thescene of his assassination was in rout of Raklios res-taurant on Madison street, 'ust west of Dearborn and littlemorethan Aa block from dtate and Madison streets, theworldis busiest corner. The time was 4:20 P. M. Countlessthousands of busy loop workers scurried about the streets,for it was nearing the rush hour and the loop was soonto be emptied of the o�ice workers.

At 4:15 the immaculate Ton; with his body guards,Tony Ferraro and Joseph Lola 0, left the offices of theUnions Sicilians in room No. 1102 Hartford Building, 3South Dearborn Street. Next door, it may be said, Tonymaintained an o�ice of the Italian-American plan, a privateloan hank. Walking North they turned west on Madisonstreet and had not proceeded more than �fg feet when agroup of men detached themselves from e crowd andquickly formed a circle around them. Shots rang out andwhen the police could establish a semblance of order in thepanic-stricken crowd, they saw Mr. Lombardo, face in thegutter, lying in a pool of his own blood.

self had put his companions on the spot. At the same timea report was current that King Al, en route to Florida,had dropped in town and was hiding somewhere in Cicero.A choice dab of apple-sauce had it that he lay in deadlyfear of assassins. If Capone was afraid of anything itwas the great eye of the public.

The murder of Tony Lombardo, King of the Ma�a, was agreat sensation, for at that time it stood out as the mostdaring crime yet committed in Chicago by gangsters. TheUnderworld was quiet for a few weeks while Tony wasbeing laid away. To the alky cookers for the Caponegang who lived in the so-called Aiello-Moran district Lom~bardo�s death was a great calamity. Aiello would assumecontrol of the Unione Siciliane, they believed, and hewould surely begin a war of extermination among them.And so, while Lombax-do's body lay in its casket, the ter-ri�ed Capone henchmen began a quiet but quick exodusfrom the district bounded by Division street, Chicagoavenue, Sedgwick and Larrabee streets. Signor Nitti, the�enforcer� could not stem the wave of Italians who scurriedback to the old Genna district, and Signor Aiello lookedupon the spectacle and found it good. The Capone gangheld several huddles with the result that further actionwas ordered on the principle that the best defense ia aswell offence. To the dismay of Signor Aiello he did notbecome successor to Tony Lombardo as head 0;� the UnioneSiciliane. Somehow that coveted position again came into

the hands of a Capone man�Pasqualino Lolardo, elderbrother of Joseph Lolardo, the body guard of Lombardo.At the same time Mr. Nitti, acting under instructionswhich continually came to him from the revise Big Fellowsdispatched more muscle men into the Aieilo territory.Some of the men who were immediately under the leader-shigi of the new Mafia King were such talented thugsan pistoleers as John Scalice, Albert Anselmi, ClaudeMaddox, alias Johnny Moore, who had graduated from theEgan Rats mob of St. Louis, Tou h Tony Caprezzio, strong-arm artist de luxe, and Murray glumphreys. Headquartersfor this dangerous Capone group were in s. dingy andsqualid little dive, pleasantly known as The Circus, locatedat 1651 North Avenue. For a long time Pasqualino directedthese boys in a campaign of terror. Alky stills were bowledover by the dozen, soft-drink parlors on the Near NorthSide were bombed with -such regularity that it soundedlike the Fourth of July in Ankeny, Iowa. Life became amisery for those unfortunates who had aligned themselvesunder the so-called protection of Joe Aiello, George �Bugs�Moran, Barney Bertsche and Jack Zuta.
