W - Here you have the rst actual photo-
" graphic story ever published of_the e world famous beer wars of Chicago
I». ~- 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 of
the massacre photograph, public indifference to Gangland's crimes came to an abrupt end. The work
of destroying organized crime in Chicago began determinedly, coldly, sternly. To usea phrase borrowed
from Gangland, the exponents of the "gat and the machine gun are today being pushed around by
Decency and Integrity, and they must surely fall into the abyss of oblivion. X What has brought about
this uprising? More than any other single factor has been the wide and unceasing publicity given to
Ganglands 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 a
book could it be done. Q X Marks The Spot is the result. In its terrible Truth, this book will become
of tremendous value in obliterating gangsters from the Chicago scene. The publication of death
pictures in newspapers is becoming more common every day. Editors have at last realized the terric
force a death picture can exert, particularly in driving home the lesson that the underworld has present
day civilization in its grip. 1' The ultimate good of the death picture far outweighs the shock that it may
have 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 massacre
picture, declared that it was a more powerful example of the deance 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 denite 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 Chicago
if this tendency had manifested itself on page one four or ve years ago. A" X Marks The Spot publishes
those pictures for the rst time. The body of the gangster which was blotted out and an X substituted
is 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. vo

Here is an excellent likeness of Alphonse Capone, the Big Boy of
Chicago Gangland, and the greatest gangster that ever lived. When
King Al poses for a photograph which isnt often, he always turns
his right cheek to the camera. The left one is disgured by an ugly
scar. Le-gend has it that Capone was struck by a machine gun bullet
when he was a soldier in France.:23! Ji

When you look at organized crime in Chicago
you rst see Alphonse Capone, aptly and accu-
rately described by his vassals of the underworld
as the Big Fellow. You may be sure he is that
to them. Ganglands phrases are as full of mean-
ing and as expressive as they are curious and
original, and to be the Big Fellow is to be king.
Capone's rise to his present position of un-
disputed leadership has been swift, remarkable
and inevitable; and the complete story of the beer
wars of Chicago is his story, his biography. Other
more picturesque gures have emerged from the
shadowy realm of Gangland since prohibition and
the Volstead Act threw it into bloody strife. Dion
O'Banion stands out a gaudy gure, and so does
Little Hymie Weiss, both of whom challenged
the rule of Capone for a short violent time, and
they looked like Big Fellows while they lasted,
but they didnt last. Today it is quite plain that
nothing either of them ever achieved in Gangland
history possessed nish and perfection in the same
degree as did the deft and artistic method by
which they were eliminated and laid away.
OBanion and Little Hymie and all the others,
living and dead, are but thrilling paragraphs and
chapters in the rise of Capone. With each suc-
cessive death Capone stepped on closer to the
position where Gangland was compelled to call
him the Big Fellow.
Whether you like it or not, and probably
you dont, Capone has become a gure of na-
tional and even international .
interest. Reach for your daily '
newspaper, and you1l nd him -
duly chronicled along with
Lindbergh, Will Rogers, Henry
Ford, William Scott McBride,
Bishop Cannon, Charlie Chap-<:fj;;_ _-51

can't be on the job. When the Philadelphia police
gathered him in and laid him away in a boudoir
in the county jail in 1929 his henchmen, devoted
to him and trained in his methods carried on and
when he was freed and had returned to Chicago
there was a great celebration in Gangland in honor
of the Big Fellow. From every province of the
underworld came representatives to a great meet-
ing and when it was over they all departed to
their rackets crying All for Al, and Al for All."
With no intention of eulogizing him, Capone
unquestionably stands out a the greatest and
most successful gangster who ever lived. What is
signicant is that he is really a gangster, as much
so as the celebrated Monk Eastman and Big Jack
Zelig of New York. As a youth he was himself
a 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 was
Edwin A. Olsen, United States District Attorney,
who statedlin 1926 that Capone operated on a gross
basis of $70,000,000 a year which takes in only
his illicit liquor business. What he prots from
his prodigious gambling and vice syndicates can
only be a speculative matter.
This book looks at Kzing Al purely from an
objective standpoint. What goes on under his hat,
or under the hat of any of his ilk, is a profound
mystery as far as this book is concerned. And, as
Capone's public utterances have been few and
brief, they have been of little service in revealing
his mental processes. Neither is this book inter-
ested in the conditions which have made him a
supreme sniler of law and order.
But he is a glamorous gure, an actual part of
the American scene. Legends already are springing
up around him, ction writers have found him the
inspiration for a vast production of current litera-
ture. The magazine stands are aflame with under-
world stories and Gangland stories about the man
with the gat who wears a tuxedo and has a liver-
ied chauffeur. Over in England Mr. Edgar Wallace
has just evolved another thriller, this time in
dramatic form, from material hastily gathered
during a visit to Chicago. The
- visit included a crime tour of
the city with Commissioner
Stege of the detective bureau
at his side calling out the spots.

Colosimo had had many ngers ut on him, but neverbefore had the knowledge affecteci! him like this. It had
come at a time when everything seemed going wrong,
and he trembled and began to perspire.
Verging on emotional tampcde Big Jim got in touch
with his lieutenant, Johnny Torrio, who, for three years
had been handiin these matters in a relentless and high-handed manner. ¬'Vhen Colosimo had brought Johnny out
from New York to be his body guard, he had been able to
enjoy a measure of peace and security. The black-handers
had been beaten back; now again their sinister corre-
spondence appeared in his mail. "Big" Jim didnt admit
it to himself, but he was afraid. Johnny Torrie knew mat
"Big" Jim was afraid when, on that morning, he called
and said to him, Johnny, perhaps you would like to
have another good man to help you '! And Johnny under-
stood and said, "yes."
And so Big Jim left Chicago a few days later for New
York. Shortly after he returned bringing with him two
burly Italians, both of them young men and graduates of
the 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 called
himself 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 do
with ignor Cosmano, the boy who
always called his shots.
A few days later a big automo-
bile whirled round s corner at high
speed. On the corner Jimmy, fool-
ishly enough stood taking the air.
There was a terric 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 outside
lus door, intending to grab him if
death didn't, and death didn't. But,
neither did the cops.
Little Jimmy was a Sicilian and
he had many Sicilian friends who
thought well of his talents and
were distressed that the law might
store him sway. In desperation
they took the matter up with one
Big Tim" Murphy, a powerful
union oiiicial and underworld char-
acter from the "back-o-the-yards
district.92

agitated Italians. Mr. Murphy was silent for several
minutes thinking. Then he said curtly and without s
smile: Go up and take him. they did.
And there you have the debut III Chicago of Alphonso
Capone who was to rise to a towering position II the
Big Fellow of the underworld in less than a decade. A
great many of the local citizenry will tell you today that
the debut of Capone together with the advent of prohibi-gon was lg; worst "break" sustained by Chicago sincee t . 'Irlis rst job then was that of s body guard for Golosimo.
In order to better understand him it is necessary to examine
the 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 youngCapone's arrival Colosimo was the master of
the notorious old levee district. His principal interestswere syndicated vice, syndicated prostitution and syn-dicated gambling, a fact unknown y many who believe
organized crime to be a recent phenomenon in Chicago.Colosimo' rst appearance in the old levee district had
been twenty years ..-iore 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, peculiarly
talented in the art of making friends, young Colosimo
soon 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 demand
to keep pol1t1c'al_mmchines running smoothly. From thenon young Colos1mos rise in the underworld was rapid.The step from streetmweeper to bawdy house proprietor
hid 1359} ea-W Bod Wjithm a few years he ha_cl gathered ini._mi1I.-uié 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 Colosimo
telling them, instead of asking them. No one dared molest
the brothels, the gambling hells and opium joints owned
or controlled by him, and as early as $15, the year he
summoned 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 countless
enemies.
As he acquired wealth the black-handers began to tor-
ture him with their demands and threats. Torrie, as we
have said, was effective in dealing with these sinister
groups, and he not only brought a measure of content and
security to Big Jim, but his presence in the underworld
seemed to cause another wave of prosperity to sweep over
the underworld domain. Big Jims evil business interests
began to expand. Vice and crime
crept 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 took
things easy. Important matters
were left entirely to capable John-
ny. Colosimo did not stir himself
even in the great reform period
when the battering ram of public
sentiment began tearing wide holes
in the old levee district. But Johnny
took care of matters pretty well,
and continued to operate by the
simnle expedient of retiring mmthe buffet at and the call house.
Colosimo was plainly in decline,
and his inactivity was regarded
with a cold eye by his companions
and the politicians. Lassitude took
rmer hold on him as the daysglossed, 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, was
that Colosimo wasnt really so hot after all and that the
rea'/smart guys, the brains behind the throne were really
Jolihny Torrio and that relentless aid who was always
with him. Alphonse Capone. And they were right.
The Golden Era, otherwise known as prohibition, went
into effect on July 30, 1919. It made s swell law to break,
the very fbest_one _on the book. _Torrio and Capone were
just pushing Colosimo into this highly lucrative business
and showing him some excellent methods by which the
law 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 takes
us to his cafe which operates to this day at 2126 South

money 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 orchestra
and sang to panders, dopepeddlers, bootleg-feri thugs, and plug uglies. Colosimo wasii love with her and, for the rst time in his
hie, decent impulses began to stir in his
curious and contradictory nature.
The presence o£Miss Winter in Colosimo's
cafe had its eect, for the gentry of the
underworld who had used it for years as
their favorite rendezvous began to absent
themselves as vermin before an extermi-
nator. She seemed to renovate the place by
her very presence and, more important, she
seemed to renovate Colesimo himself. More
and more absorbed did Colosii-no become in
his love for the tiny ower of s woman.
He had broken denitely 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 what
money without taste can perform, was trans-
formed iiito a place of beauty. It became
a popular and delightful place in which to

from the Chicago Civic Opera Company.
The reputation of Colosimo's Cafe extended
far and wide, and it became one of those
places in Chicago you simply couldn't afford

Colosimo changed too, but not so denitely as did the
cafe. Dale Winter, devoutly in love with him, worked
long and assiduously to make s ne gentleman out of him
and she did wonders, considering the material. But even
in riding tags, in evening clothes, "Big" Jim retained some
of the odor of the underworld.
The transformed Colosimo lost caste with the under-world. It was plain that the king had one wrong, and in
the dumps and dives hone-yeornhed tn-eughout the old
levee district there were whispers that the nger was again
on 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 lord
with his bride went honeyrnooning at an Indiana resort. The
newspapers smoked with the story of his mandage and there
was a great are of excitement, except of course in the
underworld. Col-osimos 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 of
his cafe on a sultry afternoon whither he had gone hur-
riedly in response to a mysterious telephone message. The
mystery of his assassination has not been solved to this day.
Thirty persons were questioned at the time and among them
were Capone and Torrie. It was all a waste oi time, even
the long ession the police held at headquarters with Little
Jimmy Cosmano who came forward voluntarily. Miss Win-
ter dropped out of the underworld at once without making
any claims even to the estate oi her husband.
And so King Colosimo who was growing respectable
came 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 doing
things m a big way as we shall see.

H» BEER FRONT
E Q! Jim?-
Johnny Torrio and Al Capone soon had the prohibition
law looking silly. All the power built up by "Big" Jim
Colosimo over a period of twenty years was inherited or
appropriated by them and, in their hands, it became an
excellent 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 right
guy, 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¬IS, thugs, come-on men,
bouncers, pick-pockets an other vermin already employed:_ J.L.. .l:-...., .._.-I I.-tn-A-n l.. . . . H _ a AII'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 moments
notice to exert themselves in the beer cause, provided, of
course, the beer belonged to Johnny and Alphonse.
The next step in the beer scheme was to acquire a few
breweries. Johnny laid hold of two or three, but they
werent enough. He went shopping again, this time north-
ward to the Gold Coast where respectability slumbered.
At the magnicent 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 need
know a thing about it. The ex-brewer could retain the
ex as far as the straphangers would ever know for, in
case of any trouble, Johnny would take the rap.
While Johnny was forming this famous partnership he
was not a little dismayed to learn that two other ambitious
gentlemen who were not at all averse to tuming a hot
dollar here and there in the new racket had got a running
broad jump on him. These were Frankie Lake and Terry
Druggan, products of the Old Valley District, who were
to become famous in the annals of Gangdom as the Damon
and Pythias of the beer barons.
Buddies as boys, they had got
their 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 pry
merchandise loose from trucks
and delivery vans while these
were in motion. When the Golden
Era of rohibition dawnedFrankie had! become respectable
and was holding down a job of
putting out res as a city re-
man. At the time Torrio, with
only one or two beer manufac-
tories of his own, was trying
to annex enough to make a good
showing, Terry and Frankie
were operating as many as six
or seven. Their rst brewery
had been acquired through one
Richard Phillips, a partner in
Co1osimo's Cafe after the death
of Big Jim. From the afore-
mentioned ex-brewer they had
acguired a little later the Gam-
brmus, the Standard, the Hoff-
m!1,_thc Pfeier and the Stege
Brewing Companies.
And so Frankie and Terry
must be remembered as the boys
who administered prohibition in .Pt-
n-I-"EiiiJ
smart, too; and were bornried at the prospect of becoming
embroiled in any rough stu. When one of their trucks
was appropriated. as occasionally happened, they didnt
oil 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 in
the O'Donnell territory, Terry and Frankie would have
none 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's
only one load anyhow, so why bother about it. We'll just
draw 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 resonsible. They
continued on pleasant terms with Klondi e O'Donnell,
and shook hands with him when he backed up his trucks
to their breweries and bought his beer for distribution.
Even when the war broke out Terry and Frankie made
desperate eiforts to preserve neutrality, and in a measure
succeeded.
'.£orrio's vast political drag under the administration
was a convincing argument, and he induced the ex-brewer
to sign on the dotted line, stipulating howeverthat he
was to retain the title of ex which meant that Torrio
was to be the front. He would remain incognito behind
'lorrios coat-tails should there be any trouble. It will
be interesting to tell you that there was trouble and a
long time later the exbrewer was yanked from behind
the aforementioned coat-tails. It required the combined
eiforts of two great newspapers to perform this feat,
however. One of them, an afternoon newspaper, appeared
one ne day with a mystery thriller in which the where-abouts of the ex-brewer was suggested although his
name was not mentioned. i"n.is so irritated the uhicago
Tribune that Mr. Joe Stenson was unceremoniously un-
covered and tossed roughly right out onto page one where
he 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 the
partnership with Johnn Torrio with misgivings and asinking heart. Johnny lied an unsavory reputation, and
Mr. Stenson might have had an impulse to tell Johnny tofo straight to our beautiful
ower regions. Instead of thus
speaking however, he did the
next best thing which was to
stipulate that there was to be
no gun-powder competition be-
tween him and the Druggan-
Lake interests. Torrio ac uiescedand all gentlemen, Frankie,
Johnny, Terry, and Joe, walked
hand in hand up to the beer
front.
Before long a score of brew-
eries were operating day and
night as in the good old days.
Hoodlums, armed with auto-
matics, sawed-oil shot guns and
other weapons, aided sometimes
by the police guarded great con-
voys as they rumbled over the
cobble-stones. So rapidly were
they brought up to the beer
front that Chicago soon found
itself dotted with seven or eight
thousand speakeasies, and the
customers were lapping 'em up
at twenty-ve cents a stein,
proving again that the public
pays and pays and pays. Access
to these thirst clinics sometimes
involved short walks down alleys
-- and the presentation of creden-
tials, but more often all that

Johnny and Al charged fty
dollars a barrel for beer and
protection, the latter item being
most important because no

speakeasy can exist for iteen
minutes without full knowledge
and consent of the police captain
in whose recinct it may be lo-cated. And! Johnny and Al. great
contributors to the administra-tion's war chest, were in a pani-
tion to sell protection. ey
soon had the entire city mapped
out in a s stematic way. withcertain deiinite territories al-
loted to the various groups. Pun-
ishment came swiftly to those
who were unwise enough to vio-
late any of the rules, for Johnny
and Al established their own en-
forcement agencies, and there
were skull-cracking crews, beer-
ninning contingents, and regular
sta.'s of killers. It was a great
system, and when Johnny or Al __
told you to laugh that one o
you didn't laugh. Even when the
organization was operating with
a maximum of smoothness and
order there was always a little
killing or beating up job to be
taken care of, and Johnny and
Al had it done as a routine
matter. But despite all this per-
fection of organization the busi-
ness was getting tougher every
day, and Little Johnny looked
upon the tell-tale signs with mis-
givings. His booze syndicate was
causing him more trouble every
day, and he began to wonder if
someday these persistent little
ares of revolt might not grow
into a consuming conflagration.
The booze business had brought
him into contact with a diiferent
breed of tough guy from the pimp and the pander and
the pickpocket associated in the vice business. An occa-
sional murder was all right, but the casualties brought on
by this new business were too many. Johnny's weekly
payroll, estimated at more than $25,000, included a breed
of individual who had personal courage and plenty of it.
Burglars, second story men, safe-crackers, sluggers for
labor unions, had gone into the liquor business feeling
that it alforded them a chance to go straight for the rst
time in their lives. The obvious rewards lured them to a
frenzy comparable to that of the adventurous spirits who
joined the gold rush of d9. Johnny knew that the money
they were making was bad for them, but there could be
no salary reductions. A hoodlum with a thousand bucks
loose on the community was a dangerous man, especially
when he went out to play.
Alas, Johnny saw that conditions were not the same
as in the old days, when he could slap a pimp in the face
with his st and get awa with it. Let him try that stuffon such vassals as Dion lBa.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. Oh yes, let him._ Ll

rather to intensify matters.
Toi-rio regretted, for business
reasons, the slaying of George
Bucher and George Meeghai-1,who
were 0Donne1l men, but then it
couldn't be helped. They had
been talking too much about re-vealing the slaycrs of Jerry, so there was more banging
and these boys folded up in death after a cloud of ead
bad cracked into their automobile. That was on September
17, and Torrio had a most uncomfortable time of it whena few weeks later the state's attorneivg, Robert E. Ci-owe,
brought about the indictments of rank Ma.cEi_irla.ne,
Thomas Hoban and Danny McFall. But the most disturb-
ing murder was that o_f Thomas Merrie! Keane, onDecember 1, 1923. Merrie and a conigamon beer-runner
William Shorty"_ Egan, for "Spike" Donnell were_re-turning from Joliet with a truck load of beer. Spike
had been backing his trucks up to the breweries of Frankie
Lake and Terry Druggan, both Torrio boys as we have
seen, but the $45.00 price was too high, and Keane andEgan, were merrily returning to _Chicago with seventybarrels of brew from a brewery which Spike was tryingto purchase when they were bi-Jacked. Ordered getinto an automobile, cane and Egan dutifully did so.
They were bound securely and lat in the rear seat for a
few minutes as the car speeded down the lonely highway
wondering at their fate. Suddenly they got it. One of the
men in the front seat, believed to have been Frank Mac-
Earlane, turned round, and emptied an automatic into them.an

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 dozen
wounds, crawled for miles crying for help.
Finally he got into the Palos Park Golf
Club just at dawn. Believing himself dy-
ing Egan told the only employee there
at that hour that he was a bootlegger in
the service of Spike ODonnell. Mac-
Earlane was arrested and held in a hotel
for a few days before being released.
Under pressure, however, indictments were
returned l1'l which were named Joe Saltis,
Willie Channel, Johnny Hoban, Ralph
Sheldon and Willie Niemoth and Mac-
_Earlane. Incidentally they were tossed
into the wastebasket four months later.
All this was bad business and Torrio
shuddered to think of the future with all
of these tough boys doing their stuff.
Johnny made no public estimate, but if
he had it is doubtful if he would have -
xed the number of gangsters to bite the sawdust in the
next couple of years at more than 300.
Spike ODonnell 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 few
friends in the city hall himself, but his drag was puny
and insignicant compared to that of Little Johnny. But
he would not be brought to terms, and for a long time
this word could be heard in Gangland: " Spike ODonnell
will never make another dime in the racket. I-Ies minedyerybody else, and now theyre going to gang against1m. '
In the investigations that followed the murder of Keane,
charges were made that the police were persecutin "Spike"and his boys, while the Torrio mob went undistuied. But

Spikr ad some inuence, end, although
he and his brothers were arrested and
jailed several times, and two of them in-
dicted, there was to come a change in
their fortunes. As we have seen the great
factor in Torrios power was the vest politi-
cal inuence he wielded, but in 1923, the
"' o le of Chicago, becoming bored with
George Ieeghen, early eeeneltySouth Ilde leer Ware.
Q
[91William Hale Thompson, blew him out ofoflice, placing in his stead William E.
Dever. This rought panic to the under-
world; the vast system was shot to pieces;
no speakeasy proprietor knew just
whether he was "in" or out ; Torrio
worked desperately and frantically to
x the situation, and he went about
with great handsiul of dough in an eort
to bring order again to his realm: he was
only partially successful.
This change in the administration and
its consequent disaster to Torrios machine
gave Spike O'Donnell the break he
needed, and he again instituted terroristic
proceedings in the realm of Torrio. His particular eld
was that controlled by Joe Saltis and Frank MacEarlane.
Saltis and MacEar1ane, now that Torrios power was a
doubtful quantity, operated on the South Side for them-
selves. As a matter of fact conditions were so precarious
that every man or rather every gang realized that until
Torrio could x things, every man was for himself.
Torrio was working to bring about the xing, but he
realized that he was up against the greatest job of his
vicious career. Over on the North Side Dion OBanion and
his inseparable companion, Samuel Nails Morton were
growing in strength and power, and Torrio could see that
unless he could get a better grip on his connections,~there
would be trouble from that source. At this period the
government annoyed Torrio by knocking o" a brewery

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 Frankie
Yale. Frankie was detained by the Chicago Police a few
hours later as he was about to board a train bound for
Ill]New York. But Frankie had a good alibi. He became a
part of the wall oi silence against which the words of the
police banged in vain. Other parts of this wall, incidentally,
were Alphonse Capone and Johnny Torrio. Chief of Police
Morgan Collins, explaining why no solution of the murder
was forthcoming, stated that O'Banion had been responsible
for at least twenty-ve deaths in his short career, and that,
as a result, a great many people appreciated the fact that
he had been put out of the way. Certain it is that the police,
including Mr, Collins, wept not over OBanion's bier. But
other thousands did. His funeral set a high mark for
those that came after. Nothing had been seen in Chicago
quite like it since the nal obsequies were made for "Big"
Jim Colosimo, when the business of laying him away drew
out so many judges and politicians that the affair took on
the external aspect of a political pow-wow. O'Banions
funeral scanclalized the public. The cortege was made up
of twenty-four automobiles all loaded with owers, one
hundred twenty-two funeral cars, and with private cars
stretching for blocks. As it wended its way through the
streets toward the cemetery a squad of police on motor-
cycles cleared s path through traffic. The grief-stricken
survivors of the 0Banion gang who had been crying their
eyes out for days, could hardly wait until the services were
over and the $10,000 casket dropped into its hole, in order
that they might devote themselves to avengi lovableDion's death. Louie Alterie, quite beside himselng made a
particularly hot remark and one that burned official ears.

OBanion rst began straining the ties that held him
to Torrio by muscling in on the territory allotted to the
Genna brothers on the West Side. Warned repeatedly
he continued to defy them. 0Bani0n believed in free
speech. He talked often and loudly. He liked to sing too,
and no doubt. regarded his alley tenor as something quitene and beautiful. The most infiudicious remark he ever
made in his long and useless li e was directed to Torrio
and h_is Italian henchmen. To hell with them Sicilians,
he said when warned directly from headquarters to stay
out of the Genna territory. You meaning Torrio! have
got your ideas, and I got mine. Well quit."
And so the inevitable happened. The nger was put on
OBanion, and they killed him and now, six years later,
his pals are still trying to avenge him. The death of
OBanion brought more attention to Chicago's underworlde-' _- ,.,»

William delayed, probably thus saving his life. For, just
as O'Banion uttered these words, three men entered the
front door. Crutcheld relates that he heard OBanion
greet them with, Hello, you boys from Mike Merlos?

of shears in one hand, walked toward the three men, one
hand outstretched. One of the men, in answer to the
greeting, said that he was from Mike Mer1os home. Merle,

The underworld lost its most fantastic and picturesque
personality and Johnny Torrio lost his most persistentin in the neck on the morning of November 19, whenBlion OBa.nions body, heavier by six balls of lead, fell
crashing 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 stoi;y of Boozedom, stands intacttoday, and the proprietor, illiam Schoeld, stands many
customers on the spot where 0Banion fell while he takesorders for owers. 0'Banion, in partnership with Schoeld
and 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 sentimentality
stepped 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 to
certain North Side political leaders, rst attracted the
attention of Johnny Torrio when Johnny was looking aboutfor breweries and talented gentlemen to aid him in what
was a new and inviting racket. -
0Ban.ion, a typical neighborhood gangster from boy-hood, had assembled a formidable gang i.n_the persons of
such men as Samuel Nails Morton, Louie Three-Gun"
Alterie, Little I-Iymie Weiss, George Bugs Moran,Schemer Drucci, George and Pete Gusenberg and other
lesser individuals. Torrio and 0Banion came to an under-
standing and O'Banions territory was established on the
North Side. Presently he had, to use his own expression,
stepped up into the bucks. OBanions 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 0Ban.ion as a great
and good man, and he never forgot them. Across the street
from his ower shop stood Holy Name Cathedral in which0'Banion had been an altar boy. Samuel "Nails" Morton
was one of 0Banions closest friends from boyhood. Mor-
ton was dubbed "Nails" when quite a lad because he wasthat hard. Nails served in the World War and emerged
with several decorations for bravery and a commission.
Sammy was a great inuence on O'Banion's intellectualdevelopment, if any. He took his blustering buddy by thehand and led him down the booze trail to prosperity and
big dough before Torrio completed the job. In the littleoral hop to ether these two men sat among the cama-tions and the lies and plotted such booze robberies as the
removal of 5,000 gallons of excellent liquors from the
Royal Drug Company on forged permits. Ah! What a
swell 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 with
screeching brakes, while Sammy and 0Banion moved outinto the traic. A great yowl, heard all over town, resultedfrom that job. The permits had looked all right enough,

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 which
Samuel pounded into 0'Banions 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 rear
seat. Curiously enough Nails himself was taken for a
ride 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 OBanion'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 days
before the Golden Era of prohibition O'Banion was not at
all averse to sensational holdups. Once he and his mob
planned 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 OBanion. All being native Chicagoans,
instead of informing the police, the promoters went to the
newspaper 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 the
newspaper 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,0Banion with a gang of his hoodlums, all armed, stoodaround the box offices ready for war if anybody attempted
to spring anything. Later 0'Banion learned from the
newspaper 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 position
0'5.-i:'iion wcupied to mention a party given in his honorseveral days prior to his death. The hosts included the
commissioner of public works, the county clerk, half adozen police lieutenants, and the chief of detectives.Michael Hughes. A diamond studded watch was presentedto 0Banion 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 0Co1mer, secretaryof the Theater Janitors Union. I was framed," said
Hughes, and I got out as quickly as I could.
The unwillingness of OBanion to take orders from
Torrio, plus his ambition to extend his activities into
forbidden territory brought about his break with Torriosndhis 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 0Banion represented a wide plank on
the North Side. But OBanion's amboyant style was irri-tating to Torrio, and he felt that 0Ba.nion would bring
trouble into the realm with his high-handed methods. Torrio
was a business man rst and a gangster second. 0'Banionwas ahgangster. Torrio would rather bribe a policemanthan '1 him. 0Banion 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 gorrio.
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 0Banion that Torrio in themeantime had instructed that the cops be paid the money. We don't want no trouble," Torrio had said. And there
you have the essential difference between Torrio and0Banion. 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 this
troubled period. Having been enjoined by Federal

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. OBanion,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.

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. 0Banion, walking out of theFederal building with Skidmore andRoderick, spoke in no uncertain termsof this man who supposedly told himwhat was what. Hes a god-damdouble-crossing wop, exploded Dion, and he-s turning yellow all over. 0Banion 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 deant toall propositions and overtures, and, ontop of it all, the Gonna brothers over inLittle Italy were whispering at the topof their voices that OBanion 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"0Donnells 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 for
illegally manipulating a brewery transfer, and the strain
was too much on his over-taxed nerves. Incidentally it was
in this period that Mr. Joe Stenson, aforementioned, was
shocked to nd his name and address published on page
one of the newspapers.The harassed Torrio began now to show denite aiglns
of weakening. Instead of remaining on the job at t is
period as he had planned, he decided to take a vacation.
And, for the next six months he was out of the city. Part
of his vacation was spent in Europe and in Italy, the place
of his birth. In Italy he purchased a great villa for hismother.
He returned in March. This period marks the date of
his decline, just as it marks the beginning of the rise to
power of his lieutenant, Al Capone. As Torrio had grownsuperior to Colosimo, so had Capone %Tl!WI92 superior to
Torrio. It is extremely doubtful that orrio would have
bothered to return to Chicago if he bad known what awaited
him. The beer war was about to begin. Blood was to be
poured into the beer. The shooting that can still be heard
round the world was to break out in the Beer War.
BEER on
The heat in Chicago during those days of cold March,
1924, was intense for all gentlemen of the gat and the
machine gun. When Johnny came slinking home there
were no processions or celebrations in honor of the event.
Matters in the Tori-io-Capone camp were too grave for any
display. Newspapers were smoking with propaganda
against their rule. "The man with the gat" must go,
they cried; Chicago must wrench itself free from the grip
of crime. The attitude of Mayor Dever was conducive to a
cleanup. His chief of police, Morgan A. Collin, was a fear-
less man of the highest integrity. He was anathema to
Torrio, whose strongest point of political contact was in
the state's attorney's oice.
Immediately after his return to Chicago Torrio sum-nioned his adherents to a meeting place in the Metropole
Hotel on South Michigan Boulevar , where the most im-
portant matter discussed was that of holding their own
in 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 his
gambling and beer-running interest, and the town leaped
into 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 Side
O'Donnells, also Valley boys with Terry Druggan andFrankie Lake, who looked with envious eyes upon this
territory. The squabbles between the Tori-io-Capone and
West Side ODonnells were of comparative uiiiniportance
however until late in 1925 when William McSwiggiii, an
assistant states attorney was murdered one evening when
spending an evening with the O'Donne1ls. But there were
frequent disturbances, splitting of skulls, bombing of
s eakeasies, and general trouble over customers. Anotherobstacle in the path of Torrio was Eddie Taiicl, a native
of Cicero, who dabbled in the illicit liquor traic and was
the proprietor of a cabaret in Cicero. Eddie regarded the
advance of the 0Donnells and the Ca ne-Tori-io outtwith hostile eyes, and he was to die for lliis uiifriendliness
a few monthsilater. _
On the eve of the Cicero election a second meeting of
the Torrio-Capone gangmen was held, this time in the
Four Deuces Saloon, 2222 South Wabash, owned by Capone.
Every-ready Al stepped forward with the request that the
business of swinging the election be placed in his capable
hands. And it was. The election became a riot, the day
was saved for Gangland, but Al lost his kid brother Frank
Capone, in the smoke of a pistol battle with the police.
The particular bullet which ended young Capones care/er
[io,' i
came from a it ,ion owned and wielded by Sergeant
William Cusiack, of the Chicago Police force.
Gangland -mourned the passing of Al's brother the
next day, instead of celebrating their technical victory
at the polls. Torrio with others important in the high
councils of his organization visited at Capone's home.
Every one of the 123 saloons in Cicero locked its doorsby order of his lIl8fi8BtY, Johnny, and it was the dryest
day in the history o the town, beioi-e or after prohibition.
The slaying of Capone together with the hell raised
generally during the election, inspired another cyclone of
words from the public ofllcials, particularly from State:
Attorney Robert E. Crowe. Inquests and investigations
tripped up as usual. Alphonse himself testified at the
inquest, but after some curious sign language betweenhim and Charles Frisclietti, coméianion of Frank at the
time of his death, Alphonse sud enly suifered a loss of
memory.
Despite this technical victory, Torrio found conditions
in his realm growing increasingly unpleasant. A month
after the election another one of his breweries was knocked
off and, surprisingly and signicantly enough, this time
it was done by Chief of Police Morgan Collins and Captain
Matthew Zimmer. The brewery was the Sieben Brewery
on the North Side. The police attack on it was one of the
most beautifully executed jobs which ever a gangster
looked 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 men
wondering where and what, Chief Collins and Captain
Zimmer 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 OBanion,
Three-Gun" Louie Alterie, Hymie Weiss and others.
State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe was the logical
public oicial to receive this prize, but, signicantly enough
Chief Collins delivered it instead to United States Attorney
Olsen, a great pain in the neck to all gentlemen of the
underworld. When asked why, this ace of policemen,
responded vagely that . . . Attorney Olsen had promised
prompt coiiperation, and despite the fact that it was a
police raid, pure and simple, the government was to do
the prosecuting.
A curious thing about gangsters is that they never
venture out of doors without rst "healing" themselves
with plenty of money. Angelo Genna, whose gaudy career,
was to end in a few months, was heeled to the extent of

The ODonnells and the O'Banions and their breed never
could learn murder nicely and cleanly. They lacked style
which, incidentally, was extremely fortunate for Johnny
and A1 although maybe they didn't see it that way.
_ The murders of two beer barons, O'Banion and Tancl,

the town to take in one dose, and to reduce and soothe
the ensuing high temperature of public indignation Messrs.
Doherty and O'Donnell were mdicted by one of Mr.Crowes grand juries. The ublic was assured that these
desperadoes would hang. r. Crowe pointed to the fact
that he had assigned his ace assistant, the "hanging
nrosecutor to the case. The assistant-'5 name was William
E. McSwiggin.
But there was other gunpowder to be sniffed, this time
out on the South Side where the Saltis-MacEarlane and
[ll] Spike were still having at each other on every possibleoccasion. Several ot shots had been taken at Spike and he had missecr death so narrowly but so neaty so
many times that already the feature writers were making
something of the detail. To return the compliment, Spike and some of his boys had unsuccessfully tried to do awaycorlnxvletely with M1tters Foley, one of Joe's outstandingha boys. Frankie MacEar ane, nding the town too
quiet for his tastes, had gone over into Indiana, where he
had got himself indicted for the murder of I roadhouse
owner who had done business with Spike. But Frankie

Mr. Foley. They killed two more of Spikes" boys, Leo

cried Louie. They can name any pace, even State and

Louie who was, as you might infer from this, quite a
loud noise, was discovered a few weeks later in the Mid-
night Frolics' Cafe by Captain Stege of the Detective
Bureau. Louie was in his cups and somewhat louder than
usual so you can estimate just how loud he must have
been. At any rate Captain Stege went up to him and
slapped his face.
Let us rush to add however that despite this humiliation
which he took without any retaliating gesture, Louie was
really 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 withered
and dropped away from their tinsel frames when another
picturesque tough boy of the underworld bit the sawdust.He was Eddie Tancl, a native son of Cicero whose place
of refreshment, the Hawthorne Inn was highly popular
with his Bohemian countrymen. They assembled in
droves there to lift a few and to hear thick-necked
Edward discourse authoritatively on the_ rened pro-
fession of prize-ghting in which he, in his salad days,
had been engaged with moderate success. The Hawthrone
Inn dispensed more beer probably than any fty of the
150 other thirst clinics in Cicero which was why the
O'Donnell boys lay awake nights thinking up ways in
which Eddie could be induced to become a stop on their
beer-runners rounds. Eddie however had reluctantly signed
up with Johnny and Al, both of whom he regarded with
hatred and as tyrants in his own realm. But Johnny and
A] had told Edward that he could either buy their stuff or
else and so he bought.
Klondike O'Donnell, leader of the horde had been
quite successful in pushing himself into the preserves of
Al and Torrio during the political depression in Gangland,
a fact largely ascribable to the talents of the toughs who
called him boss. Most of them, like Klondike himself,
had been labor racketeers before prohibition, and weren't
exactly foreigners to Rough Stuff. Some of '_Klondikes
boys who were healthy and feeling well at this particular
period included his brothers Myles and Bernard, Fur
Sammons, James Doherty, Thomas Dulfy, Mike QuirkJohnny Barry and Rags McCue. Also, most of
these boys are now departed this vale of tears but my,
my. what hell they raised before leaving. All of them
were tough, but William Klondike was tough enough
to hold the leadership, although there were times _when he
had to demonstrate the fact in grisly emphatic ways.
There was the sad case of Rags McCue who had workedlong and faithfully Klondike hustling beer out in
the 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 evil
places. 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. e
had spilled the grand, but what of it? William saw his
duty quite plainly. Rags must be punished, just as a
lesson to his fellow tribesmen. And so Klondike whaled
in 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 sight
touched William and James Doherty so deeply that they
inveigled him into an automobile and took him for a ride
and "Rags" never came back. Nice fellows. Four of his
henchmen nally became so tough that Klondike had to
dispose of them in the usual way as we shall see in due
time. At this period however he had them pretty well
under his thumb.
Klondike had just about lost patience with Eddie Tancl.
The tubby little Bohemian wou1dnt 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 Myles
0'Donnell,dropped into the Hawthorne Inn for a beer. E die
greeted them affably enough and motioned them to a table
which, from his vantage point behind the bar, he could
cover with a sharp and alert eye. After about two hours
and twelve or fteen shells of the amber uid, plusseveral shots of whisky, their voices had develoged
from quiet, gentlemanly, well-modulated tones into w at
we 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 with
the customers all evening, came over and sat down with
Jimmy and Myles. Well, there were a. few more drinks,
compliments of Eddie, when the conversation drifted into
plain shop talk. Jimmy and Myles insisted on deploring
the fact that Eddie was getting his stuff from the "grease
ball meaning Mr. Capone or Mr. Torrio.
Maybe Eddie tried politely to change the conversation
for they sat there for a long time; but the old subject
would return, and, just as the bleak country was growing
into rugged outline against a tinted sky, the Sabbath day
at Cicero was heralded by a succession of revolver shots.
If you had been strolling down the street that morning
at that time you would presently have seen two young
men, rushing out from the Hawthorne Inn, cursing and
brandishing smoking revolvers, and, a few seconds later
you would have beheld another individual as he staggereddeterminedly out of that door. You would have watched
Eddie Tanc , more dead than alive, trying to over-take
those men, and, horried you would have watched the little
ex-prize ghter's steps grow slower and slower until n-
ally they would move no rnore_-even for a guy as tough
as Eddie Tancl.
All of Eddies shots however did not go awry. A few
minutes after it was all over Mr. 0Donnell discovered to
his intense surprise that several slugs of lead were imbedded
in his tough person, and he was forced to hold long and
serious sessions with a surgeon, for many months to come.
The murder of Eddie Tancl was good news to Johnny
and Al, although the _crude method by which he was dis-
patched probably illicited contemptuous sniifs from them.

The artistically elcient homicide of I-Iymie Weiss drove
home to every ambitious hoodlum in Chicago the grim
lesson that the man of destiny among them was Alphonse
Capone, and that the best possible life insurance was a
reserved seat on his band wagon. The prestige of the
North Side gang vanished like pus of smoke in a wind-
storm when news of his demise was blazoned across the
town. Vincent Schemer Drucci bowed apparently to
the inevitable for when King Al suggested that another
truce be held he was smart enough to acquiesce. But the
Schemer had mental reservations as we shall see.
The meeting took place in the Morrison Hotel on
October 21, 1926, and the size of the representation was
in itself a tribute to Capone. The Big Fellow himself was
not there, but the terms which were laid down by
Anthony Lombardo and Maxie Eisen, the eminent
Jewish racketeer, had come from him, and you may
be sure that no stipulations were made this time.
Even KIondike" O'Donnell was represented. His delegate
was instructed to say yes to everything and not to sit
around with his ngers crossed either. Unfortunately
Joe Saltis, still in jail awaiting the verdict on the charge
of murdering Mitters Foley, could not get s leave of
absence, but he was represented by the Schemer and
George Moran. Ralph Sheldon was there, and _so was
Edward Splice O_lJom1ell. Tony Lombardo, a big shot
in the Unione Siclliane, an important Italian politicalorganization, regiresented _ Ca-pone ss did axle Elsen, ,
the eminent Jewish racketeer-
and stink bomb thrower. Lom-
hardo laid down the territorial
lines. Dnicci and Moran were
resented with the entire NorthSide, limited on the south and
west by the Chicago river, on
the east by Lake Michigan but
extending north as far as the
Arctic Circle. The South Sidewaseciallydivided between "Spike,"S eldon and Saltis, but dont
you believe a word of it. No
peace pact in history has ever
stled a congenital homicidal
impulse, nor did this one, The
League of Nations itself could
not alleviate the sad condition
of affairs along the South Side
beer front where, incidentally,
a few days before the confer-
ence, Mr. Saltis had ordered
the dynamiting of one of his
customer's saloons because theoprietor, Mr. Joseph Kepkad refused to help Joe pay
W. W. OBriens 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 be
given another good play.
On November 9 the terror-
ized jurors announced that
Saltis and Lefty Koncil were
not guilty of murdering Mit-

his mail. There was an interesting letter from relatives
of 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, the
spot was e vacant lot behind the house where Hillary's
survivors lived.
Gangland ushered in the new year, 1926, by removing
one John Costenaro, a Sheldon beer customer, from the
scene and, lo far as this reporter can determine Mr. Cos-tenaro has not yet been found. Efforts to C01';ltPlEtQ}X1 do
away 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 a
pretty tough guy in his day and had come to the Capone
gang with a creditable career in the prize ring to recom-mend him, but as the years rolled on something hagpened
to 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 light
to the point of hinting that he was through with sin and
vice and that Capone's lease on the building would not be
renewed. And so Anton the Greek was soon missing
roll-call around the Hawthorne Arms Hotel, and, a long,
long afterward Ms body. or what was left oi it, was
removed from a hole of quick-lime in a vacant lot in
Burnham, Indiana, near the backyard of Johnny Patton,
Burnhams 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 true
or not, Koncil and Charles Big Hays" Hrubec, were red
at on March 11 as they were touring in Spike ODonnell's
territory. Lefty and Hrubec jumped out of the car andwere running at top speed for shelter in an apartment
house lobby, when, over urdened by bullets, they collapsed
in death. Spike O'Donnell did this foul murder, said
Joe 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 rather
nasty~tempei-ed little fellow,

had been pushed around long

department, shortly after the long series of investigations
had begun into the mystery: It was Al Capone, together
with 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 given
to 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 gained
from questioning Heeney.
But the dead man's father's charges inamed the public
still more, and the question "Who killed McSwiggin'! was
now linked with another one, "rhere is Capone?" But
Al was nowhere to be found. The atmosphere was entirely
too much for him, and, shortly after the rst smoking
headlines announcing the murder appeared,Alphonse was in
Ills 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 a
grand manner which must have been impressive to "Little
Hymie Weiss. Capone dictated the terms by which he
would surrender to the detectives from Mr. C1-owe's oflice,
and he was met at the Indiana state line. Capone is not
a great talker, but he says plenty when the public is occa-
sionally fsvored with his utterances. And this time it got
dynamite.
Of course I didnt kill McSwiggin," he slid. Why
should I! I liked the kid. Only the day before he got
lmocked of! he was over at my place and when he went
home I gave him a bottle of Scotch for his old man. If
Id 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 him
plenty, and I got what I was paying for."Mr. C;sone's precipitate ight had looked bad but hehad s g answer for that cuestion, too. I was afraidthat some saphead ccgrper wou d plug me on sight, just to
get himself promote ." Capone was released three days
after 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 oice on crutches. See these legs]:he said, pointing, Well, I was over callinf on my sweetie
at the Beauty Parlo5_ when some o these
bails let me have it." The McSwiggin murder continued a
mystery, but the mystery of the Beauty Shop shooting
had 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, "The
Stockade," and e Hawthorne Smoke Shop," all Caponeinstitutions. Despite this gesture on the part of the police
the McSwiggin case ointed very denite 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 nt go mto usmess there. ButI nally got some political pressure myself and openedup anyway. Al came aroun shortly after and told me
that I would have to buy my beer from him, and not the
O'Donnells. So I did." _ _King Al could see the handwi-1t_:ng on the front pages
however, and he knew that peace in Gangland was about
as desirable to Chicagoans as good beer.
The O'Donnells have been going great guns except
for one Federal rap which they could not beat 111
the courts. This concerned their disssterous raid 0]!the Morand Government Warehouse in the Valley, their
old starrrmg gT'i1ii. The warehouse contained thousand;-':of barrel! of excellent whisky and it was James '_F1I1'_
Summons who conceived the bright idea of siphoning it
with 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 hose
of 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

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 theconict 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.

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 eect 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."

And so King Al, the Big Fellow stepped forth as an
emissary of peace. Unfortunately for prosperity in Booze-
dom he opped. Except for one unfortunate little shooting
affray involving Vincent Schemer Drucci, one of Little
Hymies" most highly prized mes, Capone's elforts might
have been unsuccessful. We hurry to the facts. The
Schemer, paradoxically enough, went in for paintings andgood music and beautiful thingls. It was passing strangeow this esthetic hoodlum w 0 wept copiously at theCivic Opera could top off an evening in comgpny with his
dynamic little chief and George Bugs oran whose
artistic sensibilities had developed no fuher "rhapsthan Mutt and Jeff. For in their company the dllllemer
was of-ten called upon to torture a stool pigeon, or in-
veigle a traitor to the cause into the front seat of an
automobile for a long, long ride. But the Schemer could
do it. And how! It was he who represented the class of
the Weiss mob, _j_ust_as _the_aristocratic touch in the good
old days when OBanion held sway was provided by Samuel
Nails Morton before he fell o his horse. The Schemer
was largely responsible for the fact that "Little Hymie"
was induced to move into more retentious uarters onDiversey Boulevard, although headquarters still remained
above the Schoeld Flower Shop.
One sultry August afternoon Little Hymie and the
Schemer, dressed in the correct mode, strolled nonchalantlydown the Boul Mich. As they were passing the Harvester
building whom should they meet ut two of Capones
children, Frankie Rio and Tony Molps Volpe. Now whengangster meets gangster, the result is that gats y out of
pockets especial y made and leather-lined to hold them,
and that is exactly whet happened on this summer after-
noon. Msny shots werered, and many, many people out
there on the worlds most regal street, some of them
visitors to Chicago, were thrown into fearful panic. And
those who were visitors
went back to Muscatine, -
and Valley Junction and
Des loines and New --+
York and told every-
body that what the
papers said about Chi-
eago was true and even
worse. But nobody was
lled or wounded. _
The only result of
the bloodless affray was
that Capones peace
conference didn't mean
a thing. It was held
shortly after the battle,
and all the Big Shots
were ther%Joe Saltis,
Frankie MacEarlane,
Ralph Sheldon, Hymie
Weiss, Vincent Drucci,
Capone and some of his

and Myles GlJonr-ell,

made, jokes were en. .41 about the soup on the menu
and the "pineapple" dessert, and a police oicial, there by
special 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 lgFeIlows words were freighted with sincerity on the we
don'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, but
he put forward one stipulation which the Big Fellow alone
heard. It was that Frankie Rio and Volpe be placed on
the spot where I.§ttle Hymie" might transform them into
corpses. 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 Little
Hy-mie" was marked for death. He was soon to be pushed
aside. His murder represents perfection in the art. it
was the most masterful! planned and executed of any ofGanglands crimes including even the Valentine Massacre
which 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 destroy
Capone on South Wabash Avenue near the_ Four DeucesCafe whither they had trailed him from Cicero. Caponeot away,mirsculously ¬Il0lJ£l'l,8ltll0ll§_}1 his chaueur, onygoes died behind his wheel. "Little ymie," bitter? d.lB»-appointed, returned to the little ower shop an was
moodily silent for a long time. He stood on the spot_ inthe ower shop where GBan1or_1 had died ad, gazing
through the huge plate glass wmdow, stared at the m-
scription in stone across the street:
J! lice name of Jesus every laee should
Bend in heaven and on earth.
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 cavalcade
of glistening motor cars passed slowly by the Hawthorne
Hotel while machine guns poured hot lead into buildings
and windows and furniture. No bullets found lodgment
in the hated Capone gangsters however.
"Little Hymie was too busy these days to be botheredby the old premonition that he would come to an early
and sudden end. His gang was growing in numbers and
in dollars and In pres-

Well, King Geot losta great battle to Bi Bill and to the Big Fellow. C 'cagoagain became as wise open as it was in the good old days
[ll]of Johnny Torrio; Capone, cooped up in Cicero by MayorDever for four years, again marched triumphantly intothe Loop. Everything was going beautifully for the BigFellow. Even the problem of doing something aboutSchemer Drucei had been wim out of his mind, for, onthe eve of the election, the emer was ahot and killedas he rode from the Detective bureau to a North Side
n
courtroom in a squad car 111 custo if
three detectives.
Tragically enough for the Sch r
one of these detectives was a hard-boned
sergeant named Daniel Healy. It was
Healy who had picked up the Schemer
and one of his henchmen, Henry Finkel-
stein, as they stood sunning themselves
on Diversey Boulevard. Picking up
hoodlums was a passion with Sergeant
Healy who thought that it brought him
good luck. Once he had walked into a
South Side saloon and helped himself
to an automatic belonging to Joe Saltis.
The automatic was in Joe's coat and
Joe had the coat on at the time. Oh,
you're a tough guy, with a gun, eh?"
inquired Mr. Saltis. Sergeant Healy
offered to return the weapon but Joe,
wisely enough, atly refused. At any
rate no sooner had Sergeant Healy de-
posited Drucci and Finkelstein in a jail
cell, than an attorney appeared with a
writ of habeas corpus. Out came Drucci
and his henchman, and into the squad
car, enroute to the courtroom. Drucci
occupied a rear seat, with Sergeant
Healy and one other oicer. Finkelstein
sat with the driver. Enough dierent
stories have been told about what hap-
pened during the next ve or ten min-
utes to stretch from the Rienzi hotel on
Diversey Boulevard to Melrose Park.
However, it is not important after allI-Jl

paratively short arade to the cemeteryyou couldnt ns a single automobile
draped, as at the Weiss circus, withcloth signs urging you how to cast your

had announced that squads would he
in attendance to seize gangsters. But
A1 Capone was there. And so was
George Bugs Moran, and Maxie Eisen,
Frank and Pete Gusenberg, PotatoesKauffman, Dapper Dan McCarth§aJack
McGurn, Dingbat" Oberta, nkie
MacEarlane and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Saltis.
Mrs. Drucci was consoled by Mrs. Dion
OBanion. The Big Fellow derived a
great wallop of the fact that here was
one of his enemies for whose death he
would not be blamed, and he came fear-
lessly, even blithely. There is no record
however that Alphonse wept any tears
on Bugs Morans shoulder because of
their mutual loss. The Big Fellow was
getting all the breaks just now, and he
was sitting pretty on top of the under-
world. One ne morning the Big Fellow
discovered that he had become famous.
His position had made him quite visible
to the great naked eye of the public.
For a time this attention may have
these years what Mr. Drucci said to Mr.
Healy and what Mr. Healy said back
to _Mr. Drucci, for the_altercation came to'a tragic end when
a bullet from Mr. Healys revolver buried itself in iiir.
Druccis heart. Instead of going to a courtroom the squad
car turned right around on the spot and proceeded to the
county morgue where Mr. Drucci's body was propped up on
a marble slab.
Of course there was a great hue and cry from the
family and from the surviving members of the Schemer's
gang, all of whom had become experienced in surviving
by now. Crying murder, murder, murder they rushed
to hire attorneys to see that justice was done, justice in
this case being the prosecution of Mr. I-Iealy. At the
coroners inquest a few days
later four prominent criminal ~-
lawyers spat many mouthfuls
of choice interrogations against
a simple story related from the
stand by Mr. Healy. In effect
it was that Mr. Drucci had
called him a punk copper and
had reached for Mr. Healys
gun, but Mr. Healy having a
longer reach, got there rst.
