When the police were summoned to the Lolsrdo homeafter an uncommonly long time,they found the Ma�a King'sbody lying in a luxurious front room. His face had beenshot away and he could hardly be recognized. Except fora beautiful velvet pillow which she had tenderly shovedunder his head the body, said the widow, had not beentouched. She did not talk very much, but the little tablein the center of the room with its half-empty glasses ofwhisky spoke eloquently on the circumstances of theman�s death. .

With his wife Lolardo had returned to their home froma loop shopping tour at 3 o�cloclc in the afternoon. Atthe entrance to the stairway leading to their �at, a cheapand dismal looking place outside, they were met by threemen whom the widow said she had seen many times forseveral years. She did not, however, know their names.All went upstair and Mrs. Lolardo spread a lunch forthe three men who departed at about 3 o'clock. Fiveminutes later however there was a knock on the reardoor. Mrs. Lolardo was in the kitchen ironing at the timeand she did not get a good look at them, she said, whenthey were admitted by her husband. For half an houror more the visitors made whoopee and there was muchclinking of glasses, joking and loud laughing. And thenat 4 o'clock, according to Mrs. Lolardo, the gun-play started.There was a scramble for the door and when Mrs. Lolardowalked into the front room she found herself a widow.The pillow was slipped under his head and the widow went

to answer the door-bell being rung by her sister-in-law,Mrs. Joseph Lolardo, wife of the well-known body guard.

Anna Lolardo,the sister-in-law,telephoned a funeral ar-lor for an ambulance and the attendants came, took one lnookat Mr. Lolardo and summoned the police. During the ques-tioning of Mrs. Lolardo it was �nally extracted from herthat she had really got a good look at the lest visitors and,when a picture of Joe Aiello was pushed in front of herface, she nodded that one of the visitors was he. �Thileshe was still in custody an effort was made to �nd Mr.Aiello but it was unsuccessful, although eighteen or twentyof his henchmen were gathered together from the dives,pool-halls and bakery on the North Side. All were paradedbefore the widow but she recognized none of them as herhusband�s guests. Resolute attempts were made to solvethis murder, and it will be important to remember thatwires were tapped at several places and that Mr. JosephLolardo was heard to say that he would get even witha certain mob. The murder was never technically solved,aithough ii: was established that Hr. Lolardo�s visitorswere not all Italians.

The death of Lolardo again brought moving day to theCapone alky cookers on the Near North Side. It alsobrought control of the Unione Siciliane to Joe Aiello andwhat appeared to be a rosy future for his allies. It alsobrought a �erce and deadly determination to the heartsof the Circus mob to avenge themselves. A few weekslater the Valentine Massacre happened.

We come now to the bloody exercises in which Gang-land graduates from murder to massacre. The exercisesare to be held in an unpretentious little brick garage at2122 North Clark Street behind whose well-concealed frontentrance George �Bugs� Moran has established a whiskydepot in charge of which he has placed two of his toughestand most capable lieutenants, Frankie and Peter Gusen-berg. Whisky trucks are kept here when not in use.Johnny May, a �rst-class automobile mechanic, toils overthem when they are off the road keeping them in tip-topshape mechanically. The garage is an ideal place in whichto hold Gangland's graduating exercises, a fact which hadbeen established months before, and, since that time thegentlemen who are to perform the exercises have beenawaiting the signal which will inform them that the mostimportant North Side gangsters are on the spot and theirtime has come.

Since December 18 the �observers� who are commis-sioned to make this signal have sat patiently behind tat-tered lace curtains in two front rooms of the boardinghouse upstairs immediately across the street. It is nowFebruary 14, 1929, and �nally one of the many rusesemployed by the masters of ceremonies has succeeded forthe big shots of the North Side gang are assembling inthe whisky depot. _Pete and Frank Gusenberg are �rst toslip into the little door. Johnny May, the mechanic comesa few minutes later. Adam Heyer and James Clark turninto the door with Dr. Reinhardt H. Schwimmer, thephysician with the hoodlum complex. The "observers"glance nervously at their watches, mumbling a few wordsperhaps about the failure of George "Bugs� Moran tokeep this rendezvous. At this time they bend forward tosee still another caller entering the garage. He is Al Wein-shank, the small-time bootlegger who has stepped in to buysome �goods� for his "respectable" little speakeasy at4207 Broadway. Al has his big police dog, High-ball withhim. The �observers� are chagrined because George "Bugs"has not arrived, but believing that he will be along at anymoment, decide to make the long-awaited signal. One ofthem slips away to a telephone. End of scene one.

It is now shortly after 11 o'clock�about �fteen minutessince the telephonic signal was made. A youth, George A.Brichet, loitering at the mouth of the alley behind thegarage, observes a �squad� car glide noiseless up tothe rear entrance and stop. Three men are in the car,

- --rggir 1» l.. ,

two ofthem are in the uniform of policemen. Each carries'a large box-like contraption wrapped roughly with news-papers. Curious young Brichet thinks at he is aboutto witness a raid, the first one he has ever seen in his life,and he races around to the front entrance, just in time tosee what appears to be another �squad� car stop in frontof the garage. Another group of armed men enter. YoungBrichet pauses. He would like to "bust" right in afterthem, but the chauffeur of -the big Cadillac growls at himto move on. Hurrying northward the youth selects a spotseveral hundred feet away _from_ where _he_ca.n at leaststeal glimpses and, maybe, when the "pinch" is made therewill be a crowd and he can slip up to the entrance againwhen the �cops� bring �em out. End of scene two. 'Inside the glprage six men are all busily engaged in aconversation. we of them sit on a. little bench in thecorner. Four are standing a few feet away. Johnny May,the mechanic, is down there under the truck tighteningits bolts. High-ball, the great police dog, is leashed to awheel of the truck and, from the six or seven feet of free-dom thus accorded him, he barks and leaps playfullyaround. . -

The telephone rings sharply in the little o�ice whichis built directly in front of the_window, thus obstructingthe rear view from people passing along the street. Oneof the men turns and walks rapidly into the o�ice. Presentlyhe comes back again, saying that Al Weinshank is wantedon the wire. Weinshank speaks rleipeatedly into the mouth-piece, but there is no answer. e clicks the instrumentimpatiently and, �nally the operator informs him that theparty hung up. Weinshank, a little mysti�ed, returns to the�oor. Gangland has placed seven men on the spot, andthe graduating ceremonies are about to commence.

A door-knob turns. The men in conversation turn tolook. Two �policemen,� one holding a large package, walkeasily toward them, followed by two men in street garb-�probably �dicks� think the men who are on the spot. Acw seconds later and the rear door swings open and two

more men enter. Hard-boiled Pete Gusenberg begins tosnarl. Frankie makes a wise-crack. Just another goddamraid by some punk coppers. How�d they get here. Some-body is going to get a swell ride for this bum rap. Oh,well fortunately there's nothing in the joint now. That'sone good break.

The intruders quickly tear newspapers from their�packages� revealing two machine-guns, and now, perhapsfor the �rst time it dawns upon these six men here thatthis is no time for de�ant words or wise-cracks. It maybe even that Frankie and Pete or one of the others recog-nize some of these men beneath their coppers caps anduni'foIrms,1_and_ that with_recogni92r_.ation comes swift andawllll I'92'!lil.l.Zill-IUII.

There is a command from one of the intruders, empha-sized perhaps by a choice bit of blasphemy. De�antly thetwo men who have been sitting on the bench rise slowlyto their feet. All turn round, hands raised heavenward,to the wall. At this moment Johnny May, is spottedlying beneath the truck. Another command and an oath

brings him scrambling to his feet and he too takes hisplace in line. High-ball is no longer barking. Now heleaps ferociously at the intruders, his white teeth showing,but alas Al Weinshank has tied that leash too securely.It all happens in a few minutes and yet there has beenample time for Pete Gusenberg, standing at the right ofthe line, to realize that this is a mission of murder, andthat his only chance to beat back death is the little auto-matic revolver in his hi pocket. with B fierce cry and anoath his hand drops lil-lie a plummet to that hi pocket,and his �ngers are just closing upon the butt of! it whenthe address of the graduating ceremonies commences. Itis delivered quickly, artistically, and with masterful effec-tiveness. Approximately 150 bullets pour from those ma-chine guns and only a few fail to �nd lodgment in thedoomed men standing there against the white-washed wallof brick. With the �rst outburst of �re the doomed menbegin to scream and curse, but the steady rattling stream oflead plays upon them so expertly that only one moves outof line in an effort to escape. ,he steel bullets tear intothe heads of these men, splintering skulls, splatteringbrains. Except for the man on the end who had tried toescape and collapsed on a chair in grotesque posture,they fall to the �oor in the order in which they had stood.Now that all are lying on the blood and grease streaked�oor, a second stream of death plays over them, againtearing into bone and �esh.

Six or seven minutes ago Arthur Brichet had beenordered to move along. Now, standing against the wallof the building two or three hundred feet away, he canhear a low rumble from within the garage. Presentlythe group of �policemen and detectives� emerge casuallyfrom the building, step into the automobile, and are drivensmoothly away towards North Avenue. -He sees the�squad� car weaving in and out of the tra�ic travelingrapidly, but not too rapidly. He walks toward the garage.He can hear the loud continuous barking of a dog. End ofscene two.

Mrs. Jeanette Landsman, who lives at 2124 North Clarkstreet which is just next door to the garage, hears rattlinggun-�re, voices of men screaming and swearing. Sherushed down stairs to the sidewalk and peers through thewindow of the garage, but, because of the office cannotsee what has happened behind. She is afraid to enter. Atthis moment a pedestrian passes. She turns to him, sayingthat she heard shots in there. �I�ll see if anything�swrong," says the man sniilingly. And, in a most un-Chicagoan like manner, steps into the garage. A fewseconds later he bursts out again, shaking, his face ghostlywhite. He can scarcely speak. "There&#39;s dead menall overthe place,� he �nally cries as he runs away shouting �I�llcall the police."

And the police come. In horror they pause before theshambles. Both oliicers have seen service in the WorldWar but there is something about this sight thatis inexpressibly more awful than war. In the dim-ness of the room their eyes fall upon the �gure of a mancrawling upon his hands and knees across the �oor. Re-covering from their �rst shock they now rush to his aid.It is Frank Gusenberg.More dead than alivehe mumbles somethingpretty strange forhim. It is that hehopes no one will eversuffer as he suffers.The o�icers, realizingthat Frank is dying,ply him with questions H Uas they move himcarefully towards thedoor, but Frank is

and photographers and newspaper reporters pour out. Thestreet becomes jammed and e Clark and Broadway streetoars are stalled in long lines in the narrow street; Up-stairs behind the little frayed lace curtains the mastersof ceremonies sneak out and downstairs and, singly, dis-appear into the surging crowd. Their job is done and donewell. The ceremonies are over. In a mowing newspaperofllce far away in the direction oi� the Loop District, s. re-write man who has heard the �rst story of this holocaust,sits himself calmly at a typewriter and begins a matchlessstory. He taps out the story in a single line, namely thatGangland has graduated from murder to massacre.

AFTE RMATH__ E

I

The whole world reeled before this one in horror andunbelief. Newspapers everywhere published the amazingcrime and the Valentine Massacre of Chicago was discussedin the far comers of the earth. Defenders of Chicago&#39;sreputation looked on the atrocity helplessly and in dismay.Here was a crime which even the cynical Chicagoan couldnot dismiss with a super�cial gesture. It seemed absurdnow to say that since Gangland murdered only those whobelonged to Gangland why bother about it�? George �Bugs�Moran disappeared shortly after the crime but before heleft one newspaper obtained one crisp comment from him.It was this: "Only one gang kills like that�thegang." This line was carried over the wires to A!

who was in Florida and he had one all ready for it. �Theydon�t call that guy �Bugs� for nothing," was what the BigFellow said.

With each successive smoking _ _newspapers for a solution of the crime and punishmentfor its perpetrators swelled in bitter intensity. Thoughtfulpersons �lled column after column with suggestions as tohow the said conditions which made such a thing possiblemight be remedied. Not since the unsolved murder ofMcSwiggin, the �hanging prosecutor" from the state&#39;sattorney&#39;s o�ice, had public indignation developed such atemperature. William E. Russell, commissioner of police,commanded to run the murderers to earth, summonedDeputy Commissioner of Detectives John Stege home froma vacation to work on the case. Commissioner Stege atthat time was spending s vacation in Florida and Cubawith a oup of friends among whom was included Alfred�Jake� ¬.l..ingle, veteran Chicago Tribune police reporter,who was later to be put on the spot by Gangland.

During the relent-less series of investi-gations instituted byCommissioner Stegeevery Capone gang-ster in Chicago was,at one time or another,haled into detectivebureau headquarters

J and passed in reviewbefore eye-witnesseswhose names were,for a long time, with-held from the public.

This choicecriminal is still at large. Shortlyafter the massacre he narrowlyescaped capture in Benton Harbor,Michigan, where he posed as a re-spectable citizen.

Two women identi�ed John, butthey couldn�t remember having evermet Mr. Anselmi before. The caseagainst Jack McGum eventuallywas nolle prossed. As for Scalicea sad but inevitable fate overtookhim before the day scheduled forhis court appearance and, wouldyou believe it, he was in companyat the time with his old partner,Albert Anselmi. These two boyswere always together. We shall re-turn to them at the proper time.

Seven days after the ValentineMassacre the police discovered oneof the automobiles which had trans-ported one group of the ��execu-tioners" to 2122 North Clark Street.Discovery was made in a garage inthe rear of 1723 No�h WoodsStreet, three blocks from the CircusCafe. The �massacre car� had been

a traffic light. Incidentally the re-ward for his capture now stands atthe substantial total of $100,000.

Arthur Brichet, the boy whowas told to move on, identi�ed JohnScalice and Jack McGurn as didone woman eye-witness and both

The woman who iden-ti�ed Jack also said that she had seen him before witha number of men who played around the Circus Cafe onNorth Avenue.

A raid made on the day following the massacre foundthe Circus Cafe not o en for business. Doors were locked,tables overturned anti! Messrs Maddox, Capprezzio, Hum-phreys and Rocco Belcastro, the big bombing boy, werenowhere around.

fon the morning of February 14, l and, after kindly andsmilingly posing for photograph. I they departed.

Where was George �Bugs� Moran on the da his gallantlieutenants were put on the spot? And how did it happenthat George himself failed to show up at 2122 North Clarkstreet in response to the invitation that it would be to hisadvantage as a truck load of hi-jacked liquor would beoffered or sale. All these questions were asked on everyhand before the bodies of his men had been removed fromthe blood and grease on the cement �oor. Well, there wasnothing� exciting about the answer when it �nally came,several months ater. Sitting in the o�lce of CommissionerStege the man who held the throne once occupied by DionO� Banion and�Little Hymie"Weiss,saidvery plainly that he was at home at the *time, suffering with alight touch of the"�u." This looked bad for those roman-ticists who had argued that �Bugs� act-ing on a hunch, ha remained away fromthe spot at the last minute, and that,as a matter of fact he was one of thehundreds who packed the narrow streetin froiii, of iilé Eai-age iifiaen the perfo-rated bodies of his men were discovered.

Moran left Chicago a few days laterfor Canada and did not return for sev-eral months. One day he suddenly ap-peared at the detective bureau, pro-tected by his lawyer. "Bugs" is veryself-conscious and nervous when in thisinstitution, but he had obviously care-fully prepared himself for the ordealof saying yes and no. It may be inter-esting to record that, when asked con-cerning his relations with Pete andFrank Gusenberg and all the other vic-tims Moran replied: � I didn�t have

5 .&#39; Fever in that gar in my life; it looked too much like the�oral shop to me.

A day or so later Joe Aiello also appeared at the bureauconcerning a little matter of murders-�-the murder ofLolardo particularly. �Chief, two years ago de ChiefO&#39;Connor, he tell me to get out of town,� said Joe, �andI go, efen though I never do nothing wrong. Chief, Ilike your Chicago. I wants. live here and be a respectableman in my bakery.� Before Joe left, he denied ever havingmet anyone by the name of Moran.

One thing is certain. The Gpolice did not particularly¥rieve over the passing of the usenbergs, Pete and Frank.hese boys had been raising hell in Chicago foi&#39; many Jeers,and while news of their violent eaths

. did not exactly inspire rousing cheers,� the remarks made several days after

the massacre by Chief of DetectivesJohn Egan concerning the average lifeof the gangster may not be interpretedas coming from a saddened heart. "Theaverage life of the Chicago gangster,"said Detective Egan, �is about 30 to 31years, and that rate Pete who was about36, had lived �ve or six years beyond hisallotted time. Frank Gusenberg whowas 38 years old, was about seven oreight years over-due at the morgue.They must have been mighty carefulof themselves to last as long asthey did.

Chief Egan said that Clark, being32. was a year or two late, while AlWeinshank had his coming to him forthe past four or �ve years. Johnny May,said Chief Egan, was bumped off righton schedule, and Adam Hyer who wasonly 29, got cheated out of a year.

MR. SA|.m�Pollack� Joe Saltis lost a great deal of prestige

in Boozedom in 1928 when he submitted to captureand was �settled� in the Cook County jail for twomonths on a charge of violation of the liquor laws.The feat of clamping a beer baron in the �can�was not accomplished with all the ease of fallingoff a log, however, for Mr. Saltis made himselfscarce except to his beer clients for 139 days, byactual newspaper count, before he was �nally ap-prehended. The newspapers made a great deal ofnoise about the search for Mr. Saltis and, everyday for 139 days, you could open up your newspaperand see in very large type the numbers 102 daysand no Mr. Saltis or 103 days and no Mr. Saltisand so on and on up until the day Joe was broughtin mumbling �I�m out of the beer racket, and thisis a bum rap.� The public took a great deal ofinterest in the newspaper count, which, until theDempsey-Tunney �ght was looked upon as thelongest count Chicago had ever seen. It had allthe wallop of a serial story with the hot stu��continued until tomorrow.

When Joe was emptied from the jail cell hemade straight for the �ower shop in the back-of-the-yards district where his affairs were beingably directed by his lieutenants, amiable John�Dingbat" Oberta and Paddy Sullivan. Joe was ina tranquil condition of mind for the next fewweeks, but panic struck him and the �Dingbat"when they came upon a newspaper story whichsaid that all hoodlums inChicago were to be submittedto a mental test. If found ofunsound mentality, as mostassuredly they would be, sug-gested the story, they wouldbe confined for treatment. Joeand the �Dingbat� may nothave been afraid of machineguns, pistols, automatics andpineapples, but words like psy-chology, phychiatry, psycho-pathic, were monstrous and

QE;

cate of high and normal intelligence. And so, afew days later, Chicago was treated to the spec-tacle of �Pollack� Joe and Johnny �Dingbat�Oberta in the office of the police commissionerproudly waving certi�cates of mental health. �Wewon�t have to play with no blocks," said Johnnyand Joe as they walked away, and then, catchinghimself, he said, �I mean we won&#39;t have to playwith any blocks.� Safe from con�nement in the�bug� house Joe and Johnny and their henchmennow began to look around for Edward �Spike�O�Donnel!. Joe hadn&#39;t had a shot at �Spike� formany months and the strain was telling on him.Besides rumors were reaching Joe that �Spike�was about to make a great beer offensive and hadsurrounded himself with a formidable gang ofmuscle men. One of them, strangely enough wasthe redoubtable Frankie MacEarlane and his kidbrother, Vincent. The underworld gossiped for along time about the split between Saltis and Frankwho had been pals from the very beginning. Thetruth was that MacEarlane could no longer endurethe nasty-nice �Dingbat.� As we have seen Mac-Earlane was at heart a bank~robber and, just tokeep in practice, used to wander around knockingover a safe here and there. When Saltis was injail the �Dingbat� tried to clamp down on Frankie,telling him that he would spoil the real dough forall of t_hem if he persisted in the bank-bustingtendency. �Aw, hell," responded Frankie, �Ittakes real brains to hoist a bank. And to hell withthis Sunday School out�t. I�ll make some real con-nections.� The fact that his boss, Saltis, was injail was proof enough to Frankie that he was inwith a wrong bunch of guys.

Saltis saw no real obstacle from the Sheldonmobsters who, it was then being rumored, werehaving internal trouble. Sheldon, suffering fromtuberculosis aggravated by constant breathing ofgun-powder, was ordered by his physician to seekstrength in the purer atmosphere of Arizona. He

did so, leaving his mob incharge of Danny Stanton, anarrangement which wasokeyed by the Big Fellow, AlCapone. Stanton, a formermember of the �four horse-men" group of taxi-cab slug-gers which also included John�Mitters� Foley, had for hisright hand men, Hugh "Stub-by" McGovern&#39; and William

Ma-loney, unlike MacEarlane, had a touch of dash andromance about him, and already legends havesprung up about his deeds and his strange andparadoxical personality.

Meanwhile Saltis, wearying of the routine oflife on the South Side, was spending more andmore of his time in Wisconsin where he had pur-chased a great estate. The �Dingbat� had provenhimself a capable lieutenant and Joe came to Chi-

. s 1�?

cago seldom and then only in emergencies. OnOctober 11, 1928, while Joe was in Wisconsin, the�rst outbreak of gunplay took place between"Dingbat" and the O�Donnell mob. Little Johnny,his body guard, Sammy Malaga, and a member ofhis mob, George Darrow, were parked near�Spike&#39;s� home in an automobile. What saved�Spil-:e�s� life on this occasion was the timelyarrival of the police. �Spike," jumping out of hiscar, had tackled Darrow and was holding himwhen the police squad car came up. Oberta andMalaga took to their heels after �ring severalshots, and the police arrested both �Spike� andDarrow. Both were charged with disorderly con-duct when it became plain that �Spike� would notcharge Darrow with attempted murder. They paid�nes and �Spike� climbed onto a soap-box to an-nounce formerly his re-entry into the beer racket,an announcement which came as a staggering sur-prise to most Chicagoans, including the police,who did not know that �Spike� had ever been outof it. And, as a matter of fact, he hadn&#39;t. �Yessir,� said Spike, "Pm now in the beer racket. I&#39;vegot a bunch of blue-eyed Irish boys who won&#39;tstand any pushing around either. A lot of guyshad better wise up to themselves and lay off.�

And with that "Spike� returned to his blue-

His companionin jail for disorderly conduct, George Darrow, re-t1u&#39;ned to the South Side and met violent death ninedays later. Not because he needed the money butbecause his was an exuberent nature brimmingover with vitality and needed expression, Georgeoccasionally regaled himself by a �stick-up� or aroad-house hold-up and on this occasion he wase�iciently shot and killed. Meanwhile the Stantongang was doing a little shooting with the Quinlangang which had been prospering via the muscleroute into the Stanton preserves, and on October14, 1928, a stray machine gun bullet intended for�Bubs� reached instead his companion, Ralph J.Murphy, a bartender, and Murphy was killed in-stantly. The machine gun was operated by Hugh�Stubby� McGovern, standing in the basement ofa house across the street. From that day on Mr.McGovern was a marked man for George Maloney,the boy with the sawed off .38 set out for him.While George was �tailing� McGovern, the atten-tion of the police was directed to a sensationalunsuccessful attempt made by Leo Mongoven andFrank Foster, North Side gangster, to shake-down an ex-racketeer, Abe Cooper, who had be-

come a broker and had gone straight. Abe with-stood the shake-down and was being hustledinto an automobile, parked on LaSalle Street inthe loop, for a "ride" when, suddenly he whippedout a revolver and began �ring. Frankie disap-peared into the crowds, but Leo, seriously wounded,fell to the pavement. The incident stands out asan excellent example of what happens to gang-sters who attempt to quit and become respectable.Cooper was one of the few who was able to enforcehis new standing but it took his old trusty �gat� todo it. Quiet in Gangland for a period. On Decem-ber 29 George Maloney, still trailing, �Stubby�McGovern, dropped into the Granada Cafe, a fam-ous South Side night club and, would you believeit, across the room he spied McGovern and William"Gunner" McPadden, making whoopee with theaid of two young women. George �gured that hehad spent enough time looking for "Stubby" andthat he would �nish the job now and to hell withthe hundreds of merry-makers there assembled.George got to his feet, walked slowly over to Mc-Govern&#39;s table and, shooting from his pocket, �n-ished �Stubby� with two bullets. He then directedthat famous .38 toward Mr. McFadden and he too,with two bullets in his body, went skidding out

the shooting began, and Raymond Cassidy fell tothe side-walk dead, victim of a bullet intendedfor Stanton. This dreadful marksmanship gavecredence to the belief that Quinlan must havedone the shooting, because Maloney had neverbeen known to miss his man. Neither "Bubs� norMaloney was arrested for this murder, but it in-

spired young Michael McGovern to more seriouselforts to avenge his brother&#39;s death. How manyattempts he made to kill Maloney will never beknown, but he made several. One occurred onJuly 6, 1929, and was partly successful, for, whenMaloney went on trial for the murders of McPad-den and McGovern,he moved about on crutches. He

was in a greatly weakened condition, but the trialdidn�t last long. No witnesses could be producedwho had seen Maloney and the .38 together, andhe was acquitted. Although Maloney lived longer,he did not make any more public appearances withhis .38, so we will bring his career to a close here.Early in 1929 he was sent to a hospital as theresult of an automobile accident, in which he hadattempted to knock an interurban train o�� itstrack. In the hospital he contracted pneumonia,an enemy which no .38 could beat back no matterhow deftly handled, and George Maloney, killer deluxe, died on May 6, 1930, at the age of SB.

While �Bubs� and Maloney were regaling theSouth Side with gun-play, William �Klon-dike� O�Donnell was carrying on the West Sidetradition for toughness. "Klondike," as wehave chronicled, had surrounded himself withmen so tough that he frequently saw �t to con-vince them that, while they were tough, he wasmuch tougher, very much tougher. At this period�Klondike� was particularly troubled over the out-side activities of George �Red� Barker, MikeReilly, George Clifford, Frank �Si� Cawley andThomas McElligot. Barker, a slugger for unionofficials in Chicago labor we-rs, had served a peni-tentiary sentence for his activities as a �st-slingerand terrorist. On his release he joined the �Klon-dike"mob and found beer-running child&#39;s play. With

plenty of extra time on his hands �Red� conceivedthe idea of appropriating a few unions for himself,an idea which he disclosed to the other afore-

mentioned four, who were enthusiastic. Presentlythese �ve very tough boys had ousted the officialsof the coal teamsters and hikers union, and werenow laying plans for appropriating control of theMid-West Garage Owners� Association. This in-volved driving out Dave Albian, alias �Cock-eyedMulligan." It was a hard job but they did it. Acertain garage owner decided however that hewould not get upon the Barker bandwagon, andone night while �Red� and his playmates weregunning for the recalcitrant one, they shot a gar-age attendant to death and severely wounded apoliceman who had interferred. Eventually Georgewent back to the penitentiary, not for the murderand shooting,but for violating his parole by leavingthe state. He had �ed to California. Well, with�Red� in Joliet, �Klondike� fell into a huddle overthe matter and decided that now would be a goodtime to show �Red� how tough he was. He becamedetermined on this course following the crazymurder on March 15, 1929, of William J. Vercoeby George Clifford. The murder occurred in thePony Inn, 5613 West Roosevelt, scene of the Mc-Swiggin assassination. Vercoe, known as "a clownfor the hoodlums," loved to recite blood-and-thunder verse for the amusement of his gangsterfriends. On this occasion, Vercoe, well-plastered,stood at the bar reciting a certain verse in whichone line was �You�re a coward.� When Vercoecame to this he unwittingly pointed to Mr. Clifford,who with Mike Reilly was drinking at the bar, andMr. Clifford cried out, �who�s a coward?" andbefore Ivir. Vercoe could say �I didn�t mean you,�Mr. Clifford had shot and killed Mr. Vercoe. Well,this was too tough, and on April 14, 1929, Cliffordand his bosom pal, Mike Reilly, went on a long,long ride. Their bodieswere dumped in the alleybehind theHawthorneHotelin Cicero. On May 29, 1929,somebody else beat them toThomas McElligot. Hewas killed in the basementof a Loop saloon. On Sep-tember 4, the end came forMr. Frank �Si� Cowley,who was also taken for aride. George �Red� Barker,released from the peniten-tiary later on, was a verymuch convinced man, andhe is still believed well andhealthy as a devoted �Klon-dike� henchmen.

The authors of this pleasant narrative haveintroduced you from time to time to their favoriteevil men of Gangland�John Scalice and AlbertAnselmi who, you will remember, were importedto Chicago from Southern Italy in 1925 by theImperial Genna brothers. Scalice and Anselmi,grim and mirthless fellows, were a perfect de�ni-tion of the word sinister. You would have been

Public temperature was so high atthis time that Capone did not want to be foot-looseanywhere, and he probably got the idea of goingto jail from his old master, Johnny Torrio. Buteven in prison, whither he was consigned for oneyear, Capone could notentirely escape from thestench of the Valentine Massacre. Three monthsafter his conviction the prison authorities beganreceiving letters from a garrulous and somewhatfoolish lady addressed to the Big Fellow. In thecourse of prison routine these letters were opened

On May8, 1929, the sensational long run of the terribledrama called Scalice and Anselmi came to anabrupt end. Pumped full of bullets, burned andbeaten, their bodies were found in a lonely stretchof country in the bleak Indiana state line district.Scalice and Anselmi with one, John Ginta, a Ca-pone gangster, had been taken for a terrible ride,and one of the stories at the time had it that Johnand Albert had plotted to over-throw the Big Fel-low himself. A coup was planned. Capone was tobe seized at a given signal during a banquet heldsomewhere in Chicago. You can easily imaginewhat Scalice and Anselmi planned to do withhim. The banquet began. The signal was given.All Capone henchmen arose but, instead of seiz-ing the Big Fellow, they tool: possession ofScalice and Anselmi. Capone, it is said, did notbelieve the story of the treachery of these menuntil, sitting there behind the spaghetti, he wit-nessed the signal.

Eight days after the long. long ride of Scaliceand Anselmi, the Chicago newspapers sizzled withthe story of the arrest of Al Capone and hisaide-de-camp, FrankieRio, in Philadelphiacharged with carryingconcealed weapons. Thearrests were made bydetectives who had metCapone in Miami where,by this time, he hadpurchased and improvedto suit his own peculiarneeds, a vast estate.There was more sizzlingwhen a day or so later,Al and �Frank, wereconsigned to a countyjail cell for one year.Along with the tidalwave of economiums onthe e�lciency of theD . . .1 hiladelphia police andcourts, came the inter-esting current of ru-

contents,sent to State�s Attorney John A.Swanson.The letters were written by Mrs. Frank Beige, re-cently wed. Her husband was sometimes described,correctly or incorrectly, as the Big Fellow�s per-sonal executioner. Beige may have been expertat handling a machine gun and in putting anenemy on the spot, but he was a terrible dub athandling women, particularly Mrs. Beige. Anyway, without his knowledge, Mrs. Beige, rambledon and on something after the following manner:

�You lmow what Frank has done for you. He&#39;s gotto get out of town pronto for the other mob are wise.

� His life isn�t safe here. So you got to get us $10,000 in

Of course the Big Fellow never saw the letter,a fact which never occurred to the naive Mrs.Beige. When no reply came to this one, she wastedmore paper and wrote on the following:

�I&#39;m asking you for the last time to send that $10,000and get it to us fast. Frank&#39;s sick of you leaving himto hold the bag. He can�t get out of town without the cashand he can&#39;t stay here without being taken for a ride.You kick across or Frank will go to the police and spill

In thus talking out of turn Mrs. Beige madea great many wild and reckless statements about

what Frank thoughtand would do. Frank,as a matter of fact, didnot know how littlewifey was trying to helphim along. When theBig Fellow failed to kickin the $10,000 she again.....�l..�l__-..-..-.1�! t92-:i92n -HUI-.l.l UBBUU llllll e

.- V,Of course Mrs. L ,,;.;,_-:.*_.Beige was required to &#39; .&#39;come to Mr. Swanson�so�ice, where, confronted with these letters, shecontinued in an even higher crescendo with theresult that she was kept in semi-custody bydetectives for fear that something might hap-pen to her. Her husband was eventually arrestedand held for three days. Strangely enough nolawyers came forward to attempt his release. ButFrankie Beige stood up and took it on the chin,which is why, maybe, that he�s still a member ofCapone�s gang. What he said in response to ques-tions was, in effect, that his wifey was just tryingto make some easy dough, by shooting off hermouth. Mr. Beige had never met Mr. Capone andMrs. Beige was crazy when she said that he usedto sleep out in the corridor of Capone�s room inthe Hotel Metropole until relieved by anotherguard, Louis �Little New York� Campagnia.

Capone and Frankie Rio did not return toChicago until March of 1930. During the intervallittle of importance occurred in the Big Fellow�srealm either as regards business or blood-shed.His affairs seemed, indeed, to prosper while thoseof his enemies, the Aiello-Moran out�t, seemed tobe a�licted by an evil fortune. The �Enforcer�of the Big Fellow�s business, Frank Nitti andHymie �Loud Mouth� Levine held forth fromheadquarters in the Lexington hotel, deciding with�nality who should be killed, who should bebombed, whose trucks should be hi-jacked.

On July 31 Tommy and Bozo helda duel on Madison street, Tommy standing on oneside and Bozo on the other. They killed each other.James Walsh, a beer-runner, was murdered in De-cember by Charles �Babe� Baron after a prize-�ght at which Walsh,during an altercation,slapped"Babe" with his �sts. Two days later the body ofPatrick King, criminal of sorts, was found in thedeserted gambling joint owned by Terry O&#39;Connoron South Wabash Avenue. On January 27, 1930,Johnny Genaro, a grade �C� bomber for the Ca-pone out�t, was put on the spot by James Belcas-tro, another Capone bomber, but did not die. John-ny and Belcastro have since made up and aregetting along nicely, according to reports. If youhear any loud noises it may be Johnny and Jimmy.On February 3, 1930, Joseph Jada, companion ofJimmy Walsh on the night Walsh was killed, wasshot to death in his automobile near the GreenMill Cafe, a famous whoopee joint where inciden-tally, at that time, Texas Guinan was holdingforth.

But, whenthe police came to look over the patient, they didn&#39;trecognize Mr. Frankie MacEar1ane.

�Who tried to kill you ?� asked the police afterthe shooting. Frankie looked at his questionersin great disgust. Instead of answering directly hebegan a volley of oaths, half to himself. �Canyou imagine the rats trying to get me--me,Frank MacEarlane!� And then, looking towardthe police, he added: �You&#39;ll �nd �em in a ditchsome of these days."

Oberta was not foundin a ditch, however, although his body guard,Malaga was removed from a water-�lled ditch.Willie Niemoth, a member of Saltis mob, at thattime sought for complicity in a bank robbery inMaryland, was reported to have done the job forMacEarlane. Another suspect, �Big Earl� Her-bert, also a Saltis mobster disgruntled over theauthority of the �sneaking nasty-nice Dingbat"was suspected of having done Frankie a good turn.During his questioning Herbert deplored the factthat �Dingbat� insisted on going about in a limou-sine. �He should have got himself a roadster,�said Big Karl. �Why so?� asked CommissionerStege. �Oh, so that his friends couldn�t ride behindhim,� replied Herbert.

"Hello, chief, what have you got on me &#39;3" well,well, I&#39;ll be damned, if it isn�t the Big Fellowhimself, right here in Chicago, sitting in the officeof Mr. Stege. With him were a couple of lawyers,a group of politicians but no visible body guard.After a time the Commissioner permitted the re-porters and photographers to pour in. The BigFellow sat and smoked a cigar while they pliedhim with questions, most of which elicited merelya cold look from him.

Commissioner Stage accompanied Capone tothe office of the United States districtattorney where the same questionswere asked by the Big Fellow, andapparently, received the same re-sponse as from Mr. Stege, for the BigFellow went free. The reporters tried,but failed apparently to keep up withhim, for he disappeared. A few dayslater it was reported that King Ca-pone&#39;s return to Chicago had beenprincipally to effect lasting peace inthe half-world, and that every mob-ster of importance in the city includ-ing the Moran-Aiello mob, had beenrepresented at a famous banquet and

legger and King Al is nogrocer. At any. rate the representatives whoattended the Big Fellow�s banquet went awaywith some new_ideas in their heads, and a sloganon their lips, ALL FOR AL, AND AL FOR ALL.Within a few days the Big Fellow had disappearedagain to turn up �nally in his palatial home inMiami, Florida, where he has remained to thiswriting. Much of his time is spent resisting theauthorities in their indefatigible attempts to bringabout his retirement from the community.

For months Gangland was more quiet than ithad ever been and then, over on the North Side

came rumors of dissention in the, Moran ranks. Teddy Newberry, �rstT lieutenant of Moran in charge of theA bourbon brigade, became embroiled in

a squabble over pro�ts. Teddy com-plained that he wasn�t being �cut� inaccording to his deserts, and �Bugs�was unable to effect a settlement.One �ne summer day Teddy toldMoran to go to hell, and a few dayslater Teddy discovered an attemptwas being made to kill him in hisapartment on Pine Grove on theNorth Side.

On November 17,the body of Johnny �Billiken"Rito, a Newberry bourbonhustler, who had formerlyworked for the Gennas, wasfound �oating down the Chi-cago river. The manner inwhich �Billil-cen� had been dis-posed of was unusually horri-ble, for he had been thor-oughly chopped up and thepieces bound together withhay-wire. The disappearanceof Bennett together with thelater absence of another New-berry aid, Harry Higgins whohailed from St. Paul, gavecredence to the grim rumorthat Gangland killers, seekingto destroy the corpus delicti,had established a crematorysomewhere on the Near NorthSide where business competi-tors and disgruntled gang-sters were incinerated intothe ashes of oblivion.

One of the mourn-ers for Mr. Somnerio was aGangland Queen, MargaretMary Collins, who had beenthe sweetie for �ve othergangsters, all departed. Some-body put Somnerio on thespot, and it was said that awoman had done it. More hor-ror was produced by Ganglandfour days later when a rivertug churned up the hay-wiredbody of Eugene "Red" Mc-Laughlin.

At thiswriting New York friends of Benny Bennett arerunning around town with long faces uttering re-wards for word of their missing playmate whowould come out west. Newberry eventuallystepped into the Capone inner circles, taking withhim Signor Frank Citro, he of the motionlesseyes and expressionless face, better lrnown asFrankie Foster. �All we ever got from �Bugs�was a reputation," explained Teddy and Frankie.Well, the war was on again. Moran and theAiellos pressed northward into the grea? road-house and summer resort area in the Northwestsuburbs.

The �rst shot in the new war, now going, was�red on May 31, and the victim, Peter Plescia, anAiello organizer and collector, fell dead in themouth of an alley. On May 31. Phillip Gnolfo,former Genna killer had been a pail-bearer atAngelo�s funeral, was slain in his automobile.

Itwas this association which, a few weeks before,had inspired criticism from the then Commissionerof Police, William Russell and Col.

The cost would be $5.00 tothe car owners--a pleasant racket which, strangelyenough, didn�t go over. Samuel Malta, presidentof the association, questioned by police said:�I�r_n strictly a business man. There is no racket-eering or hoodlumism connected with my organi-sation. 1 oiont know Kearney very well. He hadworked for me only for a week. I was payinghim $40 a week to collect bills.

itiluoirThe elimination of Racketeer Aloysius Kearney

on the morning of June 9 was hot stuff and itsizzled on the front pages of all the newspapersup until 1 o�clock-the hour when Alfred Jake!Lingle, Big Shot police reporter for the ChicagoTribune, was assassinated in the midst of acrowd in a subway station, just off MichiganBoulevard.

After this Racketeer Aloysius Kearney�s de-mise was relegated to the inside page-s or evenkicked out of the papers altogether. Compared tothe murder of a newspaper reporter, the murderof a racketeer was absolutely insigni�cant. Are notracketeers knocked off every day in Chicago? Nowwho had ever heard of a newspaper reporter beingput on the spot?

Well here it was at last. City editors all overthe land looked at the �ashes and told themselvesthat Gangland had at last stepped over the dead-line. The underworld at last had tried to intimi-date the upperworldi What would those cynicssay now�those cynics who were always coollypointing out that gangsters never killed any ex-cept gangsters?

Well, there you are. It seemed obvious�asobvious as a bill-board that debonair Jake Linglewas murdered for only one reason-that he was anewspaper reporter full of the low-down. Itseemed to a tearful and sympathetic public thatJake Lingle was just another ordinary news hound.A good news hound of course, a �rst class one,but still just an ordinary police reporter-one ofthose seedy-looking chaps who plays cards upin the press room, and comes down to work everyday with the ancient query�-�What�s doingchief ?"

And so, with determination in their hearts tocall this terrible threat from Gangland, theyburied Jake Lingle--the martyr. It was a marvel-ous funera]. It was greater than the de�antfuneral the underworld had thrown for amaz-ing Dion O�Banion. It was greater than the layingaway of �Little Hymie� Weiss or Schemer Druccior Mike Genna or�Dingbat"Oberta. It was greaterin every way, but it was greater most of all be-cause it was a funeral on which the church did notturn thumbs down. In that one respect Ganglandwas terribly eclipsed.

EX/T-it

MR.TWe now come to the last days of Johnny Torrio, the

Big Boy who wasn&#39;t quite big enough. His song and danceare just about over, and we shall see him presently as hebounces out of his own show, leaving the spotlight entirelyto Al Capone who is plenty big, and growing bigger.

After paying his respects to the memory of DionO&#39;Banion by slinking after midnight into the North Sidefuneral parlor where the body lay awaiting burial on themorrow, Johnny returned to his bungalow on the SouthSide with a feeling of uneasiness as to the success of hisplans for bringing peace and quiet to gun-shot Gangland.The grieving survivors who had sat around the room inwhich O&#39;Banion&#39;s coffin stood heavily banked with �owersseemed deliberately to ignore him as he had stepped fur-tively into the l&#39;00rn. Maybe they resented the fact thatCasey and another body guard of swarthy-complexionwere with him. At any rate Johnny, awkward and un-comfortable, had mumbled some asininity to the effect thatit was tough that �Deany� had to go, and then had bowedout. Johnny knew his visit had been a complete �op.He had kidded no one, not even the pompous politicianswhom he had met there and who had seemed as uncomfort-able as he, although for entirely different reasons. Hisown �oral offering, a modest wreath which read simply�From Johnny" had been booted out into thealley, and Al Capone&#39;s gaudy tribute too hadbeen kicked to pieces. The spies had rushedto him with this information. Not a singleword had been exchanged between him andthose chief mourners. But there had been areply, louder than words. It glittered from theeyes of �Little Hymie" Weiss, and Louie Al-terie and "Bugs" Moran, and Vincent Drucci,and Leo Mongoven, and Frankie Foster andall the rest of that surly mob. What it saidto Torrio�s presence at O&#39;Banion�s wake wasthis: OH, YEAH?

The ancient cynicism that every man has hisprice had been cherished and worked for allit was worth by Johnny Torrio during his longand successful career as an underworld leader.But keen as was his understanding of humannature, until right now he had never understoodso poignantly that alliances formed by DionO&#39;Banion had been built on something strongerthan a bankroll. It wasf!�lBl&#39;l l5l&#39;1lp, loyalty and affec-tion. In his ability to inspireaffection from his thugs andmurderersO�Banion had neverbeen equalled by any leaderin Gangland, although Caponehimself was later to sur-round himself with a group ofloyal and devoted henchmen.

The murder of O&#39;Banionhad struck deeper than Torriohad expected, for now theheart of every follower of theamazing Irishman burnedwith a consuming �re of re-venge, and the result of itwas the spectacular elimina-tion of the Gennas and theprecipitate �ight of Torriohimself to the safety of ajail cell.

mm �ldttto I;-nah" Wotan, luoooooor to Dion 0&#39;Il:n.l.on,In the don when he woo a more bank robber and toughguy. "Little Iymlo" poooonod a bl-ow-tot-on personalityno you ought to be able to loo from this pllotolraph.�I&#39;ll H11 you for tn.l.o." was only pu-1 or what he all

when this pl-oturo in-I Doing made.

And now we come to the little blow-torch who steppedu� to leadership in the North Side gang. At the grave� ittle Hymie" Weiss had wept and vowed revenge, andhad said that there would be no leader. �We&#39;ll just carryon as one gang," he had said. Of course this was apple-sauce. Every 0&#39;Banion successor knew that �Little Hymie"was something of an extraordinary fellow, brainy andwith "guts" and that whatever he might any would go.

Well, �Little Hymie" lost no time in getting intoaction. A few hours after the funeral he inaugurated the�rst of what was to be a long series of genitive e13>edi-tion into the preserves of Torrio and apone an thedoomed Gonna brothers. To the end of his days he alwaysreferred contemptuously to them as �grease be ls,� a. phrasehe persisted in using even when iscussing them with0�Banion. It was Weiss who was the neculi of revolt inthe �rst place, for he nourished a deadly hatred for theItalians which he could ill-conceal, Legend has it thathe ordered an expedition of vengeance into Capone-landimmediately on his return from the cemetery and beforethe tears had vanished from his eyes. The tale is Probablyapocryphal, but �Little Hymie" was capable of impulsiveaction. It was his ability to get things done in a hurry,that enabled him to swell the pro�ts of his gang untilthey were all enormously wealthy. In many respects thissardonic Pole was Gangland�s most amazing personalityand, had he lived he would surely have become the BigFellow. Weiss was a man of tremendous courage despitehis slight stature. He was capable of unbelievable rages,and long periods of moody silence. From the �oral shop,above which he had elaborate offices, he could stand on thespot where 0&#39;Banion had fallen, and, looking through thehuge plate-glass window, see the beautiful facade ofHoly Name Cathedral and the famous corner-stone whichma 1

At the some of Jun: every hue shouldBead in heaven and on earlb.

For long periods he would gaze moodily at it and then,turning suddenly on his heel shout ablasphemous order which would sendhis henchmen scainpering into action.�Little Hymie" who ha a premoni-tion of an early death, once said thatalthough he didn&#39;t expect to livelong, he did expect to live longenough. His premonition was a goodone, for he was to live but twenty-two months and �fteen days, count-ing from O&#39;Banion�s death.

For more than forty days �LittleHymie" failed to �nd an opportunityto take a shot at either Signor Ca-pone or Torrio, although he landhis men toured their territory almostconstantly. And they toured in the�nest automobiles that money couldbuy, and every automobile wasequipped like an arsenal. On January

12 spies in the Capone terri-tory whispered to �LittleHymie" that the �grease-ball" was pruning himself infront of his hote , the Haw-thorne Arms. Eleven power-ful limousines and touringcars glided by the hotel, andfrom every one of them camea volley of gun�re. But noone was injured, except anold lady who was passing anda small boy, neither seriously.lt is said that Al sent $5,000in bills to the old lady. Everybuilding in the block, how-ever, was sprinkled with leadand neitherTorrio nor Caponehad to scratch their headsto think who mi ht havemade the attack.

This was sweet! Georgeand I-Iymie, instructed their chau�eur, �Nigger� &#39;Pellar,not a Negro, to make for the �grease-ball.� The automobiledarted crazily in and out of tra�ic in an effort to get intoa position to �let him have it" but -Johnny, who hadbecome cognizant of their presence, was trying to escape.He kept well in front until his automobile �nally drew upin front of his little bungalow at 7011 Clyde Avenue, a fewblocks from Chicago�s aristocratic South ShoreCountryClub.Johnny jumped from the car, literally dragging his wifeout after him. But the savage gangsters were upon himbefore he had taken a dozen steps. A dozen shots or morewere �red. George Moran, afraid he might miss, had placedhimself on the running board, and, as the car slowed downhe leapt out and, with a gun in each hand, poured leadat the underworld lord. Torrio fell to the cement walk.People were beginning to appear on front porches, headswere sticking out of the windows of apartment buildings.The killers, believing that Torrio was dead, made awayat top speed, taking a corner on two wheels.

But Little Johnny Torrio was not dead. Ashis hysterical wife bent over his prostrate body, 2,When one came Johnny again brought himselfto consciousness long enough to whisper that Ithe wounds be cauterized. Little Johnny thought _,

&#39;l

The newspapers blazed with thestory of the attempted assassination.The police came to Johnny&#39;s bedsidewith questions and so did representa-tives from the o�ice of the &#39;§tIate�sattorney. �Who did it,� theyasked, wasting good breath, forJohnny, coward though he was atheart, would not violate law No. 1in Gangland�s code, namely that youmust never squawk to a policeman.But they persisted with the question-ing. �Don&#39;t you know who they were,�asked John Sbarbaro, an assistantstate&#39;s attorney. �Oh, hell,� repliedJohnny in exasperation, �Of course Iknow. I�ll tell you later." But he neverdid. Neither could Attorney Sbarbaropry any information from Ca one norfrom Mrs. Torrio. �Why should I tell,�replied Mrs. Torrio �It wouldn�t doany good." Mrs. Torrio knew her Chi-cago. The amiable Al who stood outin the corridor of the hospital roomparrying questions with reportersfound it more di�icult to repress him-self, and once, his emotions bubbledover. �The gang did it, the gang didit," cried Al impulsively and then,as if to kick himself, snapped hismouth shut. When reporters pressedhim after this, he too said �I�ll tellyou later." And he did, but in a curi-ous way as we shall see.

A small boy who had witnessed theshooting of Torrio was shown a picture, taken at thefuneral of 0&#39;Banion, and he pointed out George �Bugs�Moran as one of the assassins. George, along with othergangsters, was gathered in and again identi�ed by the boywho picked lum out from a group of men. EventuallyMoran was released on $5,000 bonds small change toGangland! and nothing came of the case.

�Little Hymie� had failed to get the �grease-ball� buthis attempt had not been in vain. Though he had notkilled Torrio, he had killed Torrio�s career. What&#39;s morehe had caused the comcililexion of Signor Torrio to turnazde�nite yellow. He ha had enough, quite enough. Whenhis wounds had healed, Torrio left the hospital by a sideentrance. A vast body uard engulfed him. Torrio hadthought of a way by which he could keep clear of anymore attacks from "Little Hymie" Weiss. Torrio thoughtof everything. This time he thought it would be �ne if hecould go to jail and let the law rotect him. You willremember that Little Johnny and lJ�Banion were arrestedtogether one cold morning in front of the Sieben brewery�!Well, there was a Federal �rap� awaiting Johnny on that,and he had decided that it would be useless and wonderfulnot to contest it further. Indeed, he induced the authoritiesto let him begin serving his year&#39;s sentence on February

7, instead of February 27, the date set by the- government originally. And so Little Johnnycrept into a jail cell and he �selected� a jail asfar away from Chicago as possible. It was inWaukegan, Illinois. The doors of his cell slamshut and we shall see him no more.

OPERALet us now regsle ourselves with a performance of

Chicago&#39;s most famous municipal comic ogera, otherwiseknown as the Cook County jail sentence of erry Drugganand Frankie Lake. It will be remembered that Terry andFrankie had been assigned to the custody for one year ofSheri� Peter B. Hoffman by Federal Judge James Wilker-son. Well, they have, at this time, been serving thatsentence for several months.

How are the merry alchemists who made a milliondollars or more over there in the old Valley District bearingup under this a�liction? Are they languishing in cells,wondering if the long dull hours will ever pass�! Arethey trying to endure the terrible monotony of existenceby scrubbing the long marble corridors and of�ces of thismunicipal institution?

Don�t be silly! Terry and Frankie have been grantedspecial privileges by Sheri� Hoffman and his warden, Mr.Wesley Westbrook. It is true that they must undergo thenuisance of answering roll call every morning, but fromthen on their time is their own and they may come andgo as often as they please. Everything was plenty dandyfor these princely inseparables until Mr. Druggan, whoalways had a hasty temper anyway, made one of thegravest errors in his career. Mr. Druggan smacked anewspaper reporter on the nose for making a wise-crackabout these privileges, and the newspaper reporter hithim right back with a newspaper article which precipitateda great big investigation in which Sheriff Peter B. Hoff-man was probed and pryed, and pryed and probed and theprying and probing was done by none other than FederalJudge James Wilkerson.

When Chicago was �rst informed of these �specialprivileges,� Sheriff Peter B. Ho�man went out and boughthimself a false-face of indignation and surprise. And then,publicly and on page one, he �red Mr. Westbrook, hisold friend and warden. So grieved was Mr. Westbrook that,in Judge Wilkerson�s courtroom, he broke down and toldall, which was plenty. The theme song of his testimonywas a waltz to the effect that �the sheri� is to blame."

According to Mr. Westbrook the Sheriff was greatlyexercised over the fact that poor Terry and Frankie hadto serve a jail sentence at all and he set out, therefore,to make it as easy as possible for them. Special passesat �rst were issued to friends of the two liquor lords andthe jail was an open house to them most of the time. Theex-warden said that Sheri� Hoffman sent word to him thatTerry was to be permitted to transact his business whilein jail. Other prisoners were not permitted to transactbusiness of course, but, according to the Sheriff, Terry wasa �ne fellow and lots of men worse than he were runningloose around town.

�How did you do it?" asked attorneys when Terryand Frankie were put on the stand. "It was easy,� testi-�ed Frankie, �we paid for it and we paid lenty." WhenFrankie said this Judge Wilkerson ordered! the arrest ofMr. Westbrook, Hans Thompson, former jail guard whoalso had been �red, and Henry Foerst, who was secretaryto the Warden. It was to these officials, said Frankie, thatmuch money was paid and often.

Thomcpson, sitting in the courtroom at the time, readilycon�rme Frankie&#39;s story. "Everybody else got his andI got mine." he said naively. Frankie went on in greaterdetail. He said that he and Druggan paid $2,000 a month

[I1

for quarters in the jan hospital which are more desirableuarters than the ordinary cell. The beer barons placed?1,000 in an envelope on the 16th and the last days of

each month and left the envelope in a certain room. Thenthey walked out.

�Once I peeked,� testi�ed Frankie, �and I saw WardenWestbrook come in and help himself to the dough." Frankiesaid that each and every privilege cost them plenty. Hesaid that he paid $100 for permission to attend the funeralof his sister; that it cost him $1,000 to get out of jailfor 4�:-dood behavior" several months before his sentenceexp; , .

Terry and Frankie insisted that neither of them hadever paid any money personally to Sheriff Hoffman, buttheir gallant gesture didn&#39;t mean a thing. Judge Wilkersonregarded the hospitality of Sheriif Hoffman as being incompternpt of court and in a crisp way of his he consignedSheriff Hoffman to a jail cell for thirty days-withoutprivileges. _

The sentence seemed a light one, but it was a sentenceof_ death_ to Mr. Hoffman as a politician. He entered thejail cell in due time and he has not been heard of aroundthis town since.

Messrs. Druggan and Lake on the other hand salliedforth from the courtroom to freedom and -increased riches.Although the production of beer on a. vast scale as hadbeen practiced in the old days had become an uncertain andperilous business, they had already made enough money toenable them to live in luxury. But, once a racketeer alwaysa racketeer, and Terry and Frankie were presently tryingto �nd outlet for their vast talents in the gambling racket.Terry who had acquired himself a beautiful estate in theNorth Suburbs amused himself with a stable of horses. InJune, 1927, betting in Illinois was virtually legalized in astatute approving the pari-mutual. In July Mr. Drugganattracted some attention to himself by rushing into courtseeking injunctions against several race tracks.

Terry charged a conspiracy to monopolize racing inviolation of the Interstate Commerce Law in the shippingof race horses, but by the time the petition came up forargument the racing season was over and the matter wasdropped. Terry�s move was one of the many} incidentswhich presaged the great gambling war, of whic you shallpresently hear. Except for this mad rush for the protec-tion of the law--s pronounced characteristic� of the truegangster�Mr. Druggan and Mr. Lake were comparativelyquiet after their sensational appearance as comic operastars.

The business of manufacturing beer had pretty wellpetered out. But Terry and Frankie should worry! As wehave seen they had jumped into the business at the begin-ning. By the time the �heat_" from the law was settling overthe town, these princely inseparables had made enoughmoney to cause the government to attack them from anotherangle. Consequently, they are now worrying about theincome tax men, and are now facing trial for income taxviolations. Terry and Frankie will go down 1n the recordsas the Damon and Pythias of Gangland but at this writing,alas, alas, trouble had come between them, and they areso mad at each other that they� do not speak on the street.A red-headed mama, it is said, ad brought the inseparablesto a parting of the ways.

This was revealed recently when Captain William F.Waugh asked leave of Federal Judge Wilkerson to with-draw as counsel for Frankie Lake in the income taxtroubles. The Judge appeared surprised.

�Oh, they&#39;re not the good friends they used to be,�explained Captain Waugh. -

Frankie pulled what Terry regarded as an unforgivableoifenae to t eir long friendship when he was arrested ata tea dance in company with the aforementioned red-headedmama. Frankie carried the customary gat.

�If you haven&#39;t got any more sense than to put yourselfin the coppers&#39; way, inviting arrest and causing all of thisbum publicity for both of us, we&#39;re all through. You mightjust as well get a soap box and dare the cops to pick you up.

Lake is now in Detroit, doing well in the ice business.

LITTLE HYMIEWIPES OUT

,m- the�GENNAS

"Little Hyniie� Weiss had got oif to a �ying start byeliminating Johnny Torrio and he still had a out nineteenmonths left in which to besmear the town with blood, beforethe �Big Fellow" Alphonse Capone, was to blast h.im intoeternity. Capone, however, who could always appreciatea good man had come to admire ferocious �Little Hymie�despite all the nasty things he had said and done; and,as one of his �rst royal acts, offered pardon to Weissif he would promise to behave himself and return to thefold. While �Little Hymie� was considering the BigFellow&#39;s proposals, the Big Fellow was having a toughtime of it right in his own home precincts.

A courageous editor of a Cicero newspaper had under-taken the ambitious project of relieving his town of thepresence of King Capone and his numerous business activ-ities. He used pitiless publicity which, true enough, is aswell weapon. The editor, Mr. Arthur St. John, made onegrave error however. He neglected to acquire the servicesof a few platoons of infantry. For some time his paperappeared regularly with �ne attacks upon King Caponeurging the good people of Cicero to get behind the cam-paign and push. Mr. St. John�s immediate rewards wererather terrible. One �ne afternoon early in March, sometough gentlemen who had warned him repeatedly to keephis mouth shut, picked him up and went oft� with him.When he returned to his friends a few days later, theycould hardly believe he was the same man, for Mr. St.John had been severely beaten in all visible places. Thistreatment inspired another throaty yell from Mr. RobertE. Crows, but why go into it? He ordered that KingCapone be baled before him forthwith which was dune.

The king came down to the Criminal Courts Buildingin the style that be�tted 1118� exalted position. He appearein a new automobile, the like ofwhich had never been seen beforeon the streets and_boulevard-5 Ofthe fourth metropolis of the world.It weighed about seven tons. f?�1&#39;tons more than your automobile,its windows were �tted with bullet-proof glass, and it was plastered �.with large sheets of armor-plate. -Mr. Capone still uses this_ dis-guised tank whenever he is inChicago. To those of us who did |not know at this time that King =Capone was offering peace toHymie Weiss, the big automobilewas taken as overt proof that Ca-pone intended to stay on- histhrone and to hell with those whodidn�t like it.

King Capone&#39;s call on _thestate&#39;s attorney came to nothing. ~So did his overtures for peace. _The peace proposal had been madeat a banquet held in a famousrestaurant just oil� Wacker Drivewhich still operates under thesame Italian name. It was pro-posed that Gangland should bedivided in half with MadisonStreet the dividing line. For a 4couple of months "Little Hymie" &#39;who had certain de�nite misgiv-

Withhim on the samecharge was DapperDan McCarthy, amember of his gang.During the processof this tri_al �LittleHymie" discoveredthat the peace ban-quet had been merelyan attempt to throwhim o� his guardand the discoverybrings us to ac-quaintanceship withtwo of the most sin-ister �gures whohave ever skiddedacross blood-streaked Gangland. Signor John Scalice andSignor Anselmi. Killers de luxe, these men hadbeen summoned from far oil� Sicily by Mike and AngeloGenna shortly before the death of O�Banion. How longthey had been in town is not certain, but "Little Hymie�discovered them one day during the progress of his trialup there in the Federal building. A member of �LittleHymie&#39;s� gang�-they were all in the courtroom-�noticed a stool pigeon for the Capone gang in earnestconversation with two strangers-�Scalice and Anselini.The stool pigeon was ��ngering� every North Sidegangster in the courtroom. Why did these two strangeItalians appear so interested in learning the iden-tities of the Weiss henchmen? The observant North Sidegangster hurriedly dispatched another one of his com-panions down stairs and outside to determine whether ornot any of the Capone boys were about. Sure enough,outside the gangster came upon Al�s big armor-platedLincoln parked around the corner on Adams Street. Heexamined the car quickly and found that it was well-stocked with sawed-o�� shot-guns and other artillery. In a

few minutes Scalice and Anselmi,together with a chauffeur who hadsprung up from somewhere, gotin Al&#39;s car and drove away.

All this meant but one thingto �Little Hymie�--war. He soondetermined that Scalice and An-selrni spent a great deal of theirtime in Cicero, although they ap-peared to be body guards forMike and Angelo Genna. �LittleHymie" resumed his expeditionsinto the Genna territory; e began�absorbing� speakeasies which be-longed to the arrogant brothers.For several weeks Gangland wascomparatively quiet, except for anunimportant and mysterious�ride�murder here and there. The SouthSide O�Donnells were still battlingMessrs. Saltis and Macliiarlane onoccasions and there was muchmuscling and double-crossin inevery quarter. �Spike� 0�gon-nell&#39;s greatest personal blow cameon April 1&#39;? when his foolhardybrother, Walter, was mortallywounded during an attem t toterrorize and hold-up a !�08dgl0l.lSEin the Saltis country.

�Little Hymie� continued his forays into the Gennacountry around Taylor Street, determined to wipe out theentire mob. Illustrative of his courage and recklessness apolice squad came upon him and George �Bugs� Moranone evening as they strolled nonchalantly down Taylorstreet. �What are you birds doin&#39; here?" asked one ofthe friendly officers; �don�t you think its pretty hot overhere for you?" A volley of oaths greeted the query.�Hell no,� declared Moran, �I wish one of these �wops�would show himself. I&#39;m nuts to blow oil� some grease-ball�s head.�

Well, the next Genna to diewas Mike, most ferocious ofthem all which is saying a lot.He departed this life on June13, 1925, just eighteen daysafter Angelo became defunct.Along with the two masters ofmurder, Scalice and Anselmi,Mike was touring about hisdomain looking for �LittleHymie� and Moran who werereported in the neighborhood.Somewhere, the spot has neverbeen marked, there was an en-counter in which, apparently,the North Side men got theworst of it. At an rate Mike

automobile. But the ..ost ferocious of all the Gennasraced on at crazy speed. The gavements were wet andslippery for there had been a nu den downpour early thatmorning. As their automobile shot down _Western Avenueat Forty-Seventh Street, Mike was recognized by DetectiveMichael J. Conway, who, with two other o�&#39;lcers,_sat in aparked automobile. They pursued the automobile, withgong sounding and horn roaring. At 59th Street, = truckturned directly into the path of the on-coming Gennaautomobile, now going faster than ever, and there was aterri�c screeching of brakes as Mike attempted to averta collision and death. His automobile swerved around likea top and then skidded into I. concrete lamp post, com-pletely wrecking the machine. At this moment the policedrew up. �What&#39;s the bi idea,� demanded O�icer lson,leaping out of the automobile, �didn&#39;t you hear our gon &#39;2"For answer there was a roar from the revolver of Scagiceand Anselmi, and the top of Officer 0lson�s head was blownoil�, and an aged mother who was deaf and four youngbrothers were left to mourn him.

Almost beforethe officers could &#39;draw their revolv-ere there was asecond blast andO�icer Walsh died;a third blast andOfficer Conway,terribly wounded,fell to the pave-ment. Scalice andAnselmi began torun down the streetwhich by this timewas �lled with bor-ror-stricken people.Mike Genna �edin a different di-rection across a va-cant lot.

suddenly Miketurned in his tracks, took careful aim and pulled thetrigger. Fortunately for Sweeny the cartridge did notexplode, and Mike turned to resume his �ight. Sweeny nowstopped and took aim, and a bullet tore into Genna�s leg,severing an artery. Genna, bleeding to death, continued torun, leaving a trail of blood behind him. He jumped overa fence and rushed for the doorway of a basement intowhich he disappeared. In the meantime unexpected help

had come in the person ofO�icer Rickett who had been"sssing on a street car andhad seen the running battle.Both officers dashed into thebasement. Mike lay in thedarkness of a corner.

kicked one of the men in the face. �Take that you bastard,"said Mike. And thus died the most ferocious of the Gennas.

Meanwhile Scalice and Anselmi raced on, down streets,through alleys, beneath elevated railway structures. Amob followed them and the mob grew in numbers everyblock and Scalice and Anselmi knew there was no escapefor them. When they were arrested they had turned intoa clothing store. They o�ered no resistance as they wereled out oi a building into s squad car. You may be surethat the reception these terrible men received at the nearestpolice station was one that Scalice and Anselmi carriedwith them for a long time. Indeed, the only punishmentScalice and Anselmi really ever received at the hands ofthe law was administered during those few hours as guestsof the police.

The deaths of the police officers in�amed the publicas none of the crimes of Gangland had ever before in�amedit. What Mr. C1-owe said this time was that Scalice andAnselmi ought to be taken out and hanged by the neckwithout the formality of a trial. As events proved, thiswould have been a swell thing, not only for Scalice andAnselmi but for Mr. Crowe and for the Maxwell Stationpolice. For during the long and futile trial of Scalice andAnselmi, an attorney for them was to rise to his feet oneday and, �ourishing a little red note-book in his hand,shout: "I have here, the names of the policemen that MikeGenna paid every month. Two hundred of them belongedto the Maxwell Street Station, two squads came fromthe central ofllce, and one from the state�s attorney&#39;s o�lce."Well, the defendants were acquitted eventually. A detailedstory of the long and laborious legal machinations wouldrequire more pages than are to be found in this book.It is interesting to note however that all the �alky� cookersin the Maxwell Street district rallied to their defense,feeling, as they did, that their countrymen were beingdiscriminated against. A vast fund was collected. Strangelyenough the collection of this fund was a great factor in�nally wrecking the Genna rule altogether, for there was

much double�crossing and pocketing of funds and the�alky" cookers �nally began to war among themselves.It was all very �ne for �Little Hymie" to look upon, andall very sad for King Capone to look upon.

The burial of Mike Genna was a great spectacle, andone of the last. The public became bored with it all, andtwenty-�ve days later another automobile, equipped witha police gong Hyrnie Weiss had thus equipped one ofhis machines! drew up to Anthony, youngest of the Gennas,who stood unsuspectingly on the sidewalk, and killed himneatly and without undue waste of ammunition. The lastrites were performed hurriedly, ominously and without dis-play. Only a few mourners were there; wild-eyed men and adozen or more crying women and children. And Tony wasburied at night.

The Gennas now saw the hand of doom stretchinginto their domain. Jim Genna, panic-stricken disappeared.It is said he returned to Italy. Five years later, as weshall see, he was again to return and his presence againdrenched Gangland with blood. Only one Genna remained,who to this day is occasionally caught in the police drag-net; and is led out at the regular show-ups along withthe pickpockets, bums and unimportant characters to belaughed at.

Amid all this chaos King Capone was compelled topennit the killing of three �a1ky" cookers who had thoughtthe demoralized state of affairs in Gangland would enablethem to get away with some effective and pro�table double-crossing. The penalty for this unpsrdonable offense was�rst paid by Tony Campagnia on July 10; �ve days laterSam Lavenuto and James Russo kicked in. Sam wasmurdered in the forenoon; James got it after lunch.

. The swift punishment meted out to these insigni�canthenchmen brought more terror to the �alky� cookers andthe beautiful result of it all was that for a long periodlasting until well into the New Year, 1926, the disturbancesin Little Italy were few and unimportant.

�Little Hymie" Weiss was proud of the havoc he hadwrought to the grease-balls. More con�dent of hisstrength now than he had ever been, he devoted himselfto drumming up more business, to tightening his forcesand to adding more and better murderers to his gang.During this period he enlisted the services of the infamousGusenbergs, Pete and Frank, who were to die a few yearslater in the Valentine Massacre. Frankie Foster, a dapperchap was also a new member, as was Terrible Teddy New-berry, the big bourbon boy. At the same time �LittleHymie� spent a great deal of time trying to woo Big JoeSaltis and his mob away from their loose-connection withCapone. �Little l-Iyrnie" knew such an alliance would bea mortal blow to Capone, and so he picked out the precisepsychological moment in which to e�ect so desirable analliance. Joe was having a tough time of it out south. Mac-Earlane was too restless to con�ne his activities to the_South Side, and_the O&#39;Donnells continued to make inroadsinto their domain.

When Big Joe began turning an attentive ear to theseductive proposals of �Little Hymie� the germ of discon-tent within his gang developed into open revolt. RalphSheldon, tubercular but tough, favored remaining with theBig Fellow, and a complete break followed �ust about thetime Angelo Genna was living his last lays. Sheldonseceded taking with him such formidable gorillas as John"Mitters" Foley, Danny Stanton, Big Karl Bates, HughMcGovern, William McPadden, Prank De Laurentis, JohnTuccello, Danny _McFall, Ed Lattyak, Hillary Clements,Benny Butler, Stink Bomb Donovan and others, most ofwhom are now dead.

Big Joe now had two tough gangs to battle besides thepossibility of having the Sheldon forces augmented byKillers from the Big Fellow�s sta�. Frankie lvlacEarlane,worth a hundred ordinary gangsters, still remained loyalto his Polish chief however,although Frankie looked upon BigJoe&#39;s association with one John"l.Jingbat" Oberta with mark�ddisfavor. He didn&#39;t mind thefact that Pollack Joe liked toread a book occasionally andwent in for grammatical nice-ites and never let go by an op-portunity to correct his choiceand original English. Every-time Frankie would say some-thing like �to hell with thembums, they ain&#39;t got no guts,"Joe would hasten with rebuke�Don&#39;t say�them bums&#39;F�rankieand don&#39;t say �ain&#39;t got no&#39;."Frankie could endure this, butJohn �Dingbat� O&#39;Berta whowore spats and played golf and -talked like a ok, was toomuch, and Frankie was surethat �Dingbat� was a wrongguy. It may be that Saltis wasattracted to �Dingbat� not somuch for the reason that hewas s Pole as that he couldmake �ne political speeches atgatherings back-o-the-yards,and looked like s gentlemanwhether he was or not. Exceptfor the snif�ing at "Din bat"however, s�airs were fairlywell ordered in Joe&#39;s camp.

Side beer front was George �Big Karl" Bates a Sheldonman. In addition to taking his life, the Saltis killers alsohelped themselves to his sizable bankroll of $2,000. Thenext month, Au st, another Sheldon �traitor� died at thehands of the giltis� killers. He was William "Buddy"Dickman, a close friend of Bates. Buddy&#39;s life was particu-larly desired. He had been close to Big Joe Saltis and heknew too much to live. Saltis lived in terror that Buddywould squawk, sooner or later. I

And so, as you can see, affairs were groing nicely withPolack Saltis and Frankie MacEarlane. or a few weeksthey took things easy, except for one more unsuccessfulattempt on �Spike� O�Donne l&#39;s life. In this affray, stagedin front of the O&#39;Donnell home during the luncheon hour,the O&#39;Donnell automobile was reduced to the outward aspectof a battered tin-can. October 4, 1925, a spectacular attackwas made on the Sheldon headquarters in the Ragan Colts�Athletic Club, a notorious spot for a quarter of a century.Hundreds of bullets were �red, but none of the Sheldonhoodlums were iniured, although a haiigeron Charles lielly,was killed. A few days later indefatigable Joe addedanother scalp to his belt, this time it was �s old employee,Ed Lattyak, a Sheldon gangster. Durini this Eleasant. pe-riod the alliance between Big Joe and � ittle ymie" wascompletely effected, and two of Chicago&#39;s toughest Polesnow strode, arm in arm, across the realm of Boozedom,shouting �Kosciusko here we come!" To celebrate the _fact,the Saltis boys, staged a great robbery at the InternationalHarvester Company&#39;s o�-ices, and so great was public indig-nation that the police, armed with search-warrants, set outin the back-o-the-yards district looking� for Mr. Saltis.While they were looking Joe and- �Ding at" helped them-selves to another pot shot at �Spil_ie_� O&#39;Donnell on _O_ctober16. Three days later they iathered in one of "Spike&#39;s" men,Pasquale Tolizotte and too him for his last ride. A monthlater both gangs staged a free-for-all battle on a busystreet and, for the �rst time, Joe came out with an O&#39;Don-nell bullet in one of his broad shoulders and, for almost twoweeks, Joe settled down to inactivity. On December 3matters continued and the Saltis gang murdered two more"traitors" just for practice. The life of one of the victims,�Dynamite Joe" Brooks, was rumored to have been de-manded by the chief Saltis bomber, "Three-Finger" PeteKunski out of professional jealousy. _�Three-Finger" Petewas a rare bird and most e�lcient in blowing away theapeakeasys of those who did not use Saltisbeer. it is sadto relate that Pete himself came to an end in keeping withhis profession. He always carried a tube of nitro-glycerinin his vest pocket although against orders! and one day

while running away from an-other fuse, he stumbled andfell. There was a loud explo-sion and the¥�1couldn&#39;t �nd Peteanywhere. �nall! some onediscovered a han two �ngersof which were missing. It was�Three-Finger� Pete. However,the other victim to die with

The once powerful and �blood-thirst Genna brotherswere now only a bloody memory in Little italy,but the doomwhich had hovered over them had not been dispelled bysuccessive blast of gun�re. It remained, casting its longand sinister shadows over that accursed domain, in thepersons of John Scalice and Albertilnseln-.i,still in the handsof the jailers, and still being tossed from one court toanother by adept attorneys who were being paid for everyappearance at a bar of Justice and ready and anxious tomake as many appearances as possible. The �alky" cookersover on the West Side were paying and paying and aying.Even honest men over there were contributing to the bot-tomless fund in order, so the �collectors� said, that noignorant helpless man of Italian blood might be discrimi-nated against because of his nationality. Ah! What agrisly crew these collectors were. Henry Spingola, abrother-in-law of the Gennas who kept himsel cleanthrough a long and honorable legal career despite hisrelationship with the Gennss, soon iound out that he waspaying thousands of dollars to blackmailers, extortionists,bombers and killers, and that he had been unwise in con-tributing at all. Henry decided that he would play no morewith Orazzio Tropea, known pleasantly as �The Scourge,"or Vito Bascone, or Eddie Baldielli, "The Eagle,� or TonyFinalli. And so Henry Spingola, despite the utmost precau-tions he took with his life, was placed on the spot, whichis stepping into a co�in. His murder on Januray 10, 1926,focused attention again on troubled Little Italy and twoweeks later, before the police had assembled a plausibletheory, Chicago strap-hangers gasped at front pages smok-ing with the murders of Augustino and Antonio Moreci,wealthy and respectable Italians.

All this had been forseen by the Italians of integrity andwealth on the West Side who understood far better thanthe police the methods of their conscienceless countrymen,and they had taken steps to combat it in their own way.And this brings us, for the �rst time, to a sleek, athletic,well-mannered little Italian named James Gebsrdi, the sonof an �alky� cooker who had been murdered long before bySignor Tropes, �The Scourge.� Young� Gehardi, at thattime, spent most of his time around e Maxwell PoliceStation where he was plentyef�cient with his �sts andoften appeared in the WestSide boxing shows as anamateur. A few days afterhis father had been placedon the spot young Gebardiappeared at the station in ahighly emotional state witha letter, written in Italianand signed with the dreadedblack-hand. The letter ad-vised Young Gebardi, whosepopularity with the policewas looked upon with dis-favor by certain of hiscountrymen, w rid the tovm.of himself, to disappear;the penalty would be deathif he failed to obey. Lieu-tenant William Stapletonadvised the terri�ed Gebardito _go away for a while.

But now he was back. He was prosperous. Hedrove a �ne Cadillac automobile, and he cal ed himself JackMcGurn. Where had the money for all this �1&#39;ront" comefrom? One of the wealthy and in�uential Italians was be-hind Jack now. This individual whom we shall not namehad revealed to Jack the name of his father�; slayer, andJack quickly agreed to the proposals held out to him.And so, on February 15, the ion� and terrible career ofOrazzio Tmpea came to an end. I-Io fell on the spot whereMcGurn&#39;s father had died and on the same spot wheresuave Henry_Spingola had come to his unhaspy end. Inquick succession three other �collectors� died. n February21, Vito Bascone walked to the spot which had been markedfor his death. On February 23, Eddie Baldielli, known as�The Eagle" met a similar fate, and on March &#39;1, TonyFinalli was murdered.

Thirteen days later another ambitious Italian�: deaththat of Samuzzo �Samoots" Junatuna, interrupted the elli-cient reprisals against collectors for the Scaliee-Anselmidefense fund. Samoots had lived long and had prosperedis an overseer of the �allay� cookers in the employee of theG-Erma brothers. He had mourned the old days when hisemployers were alive and for several mouths precedinghis death had been busy in a grim e�ort to rally the sadlydepleted �cookers� and to again stabilize the �alky� busi-ness. Everything was going smoothly when an earlier sinfound him out. Samoots had hi-jacked a truck load of boozebelonging �Klondike� O&#39;Donnell. The booze, billed aspaint, had, in turn been re-hijacked by two tough youthswho Ioafed around Bootleggers Corner in theValleyDistrict,and the rage of Samoots knew no bounds. For months hetalked at the top of his voice on all occasions about whathe would do to Wallie Quinlan and Bummy Goldstein,neither of whom belonged to any certain gang organization.

On March 19, Samoots dropped into his favorite barbershop where he spent a great deal of time. Samoots was theBeau Brummel of Little Italy and many amusing tale aretold about his fastidiousness and his sartorial splendor;he owned more suits of clothing than the King of Spain,he had a great passion for socks and shirts and often madea great nuisance of himself by insisting on supervising thelaundering of them. A dozen customers lounged in chairswhile Samoots, lying back in the chair, garrulously in-structed the barber as to how the shaving should be effected.When the towel was sgread over Samoots&#39; visage two men,Wallie Quinlan and ummy Goldstein, stepped into theroom ans quickly seated themselves near the uoor. Samootsarose presently from the chair, stepped to the hall-tree andwas busily engaged with a gau y tie when, through amirror, he saw his enemies. But it was too late, and beforeSamoots could reach for the gun he carried in an especiallycreated, leather-lined pocket, Bummy and Wallie et lurnhave it. And Samoots, fell dying to the �oor with twobullets in his body. He died before he could get thecorrect knot in his tie. A few months later, Quin an andGoldstein were killed.

With the elimination ofSamoots from the scene the�alky�cookers lost their bestchance oi a restoration ofthe Gennn house,unless Peteor Jim should return whichseemed extremely probla-matical especially now. Thelast of the vicious horde of�collectors� to rho at thehands of the smartlydressed killer was JosephNerone, known as Spano theCavalier, whose name hadbeen wllistpered by AnthonyGenna ore he died. Thepolice had been looking for�The Cavalier" ever sincethey had overheard thatwhisper, but when theyfound him he was cold anddead on a marble slab inthe morgue, and an Xmarked the spot where thenew homicide artists hadfound him.

KILLED

.M�SW!Q |.lN.The scene now shifts to the West Side where �Klondike�

O&#39;Donnell and his horde of homicidal hoodlums, inspiredby their elimination of Eddi Tancl, have been continuinga sporadic but ruthless warfare against the growing powerof King Capone in Cicero. To the �Big Fellow" it is appar-ent that drastic action must be taken against these enemieswho are now reported to be trying to rob him, not only ofhis liquor customers, but of his political protection.

At this time police were confronted with what the news-papers called the Beauty Shop Mystery. This institution ofbeauti�cation at 2208 S. Austin Ave. in Cicero was bathed inmachine-gun �re on April 24, 1926, and Miss Pearl Wilson,the proprietress, could not, for the life of her, explain to thepolice why such a thing could have happened. The policewondered whether or not a new racket had started, say abeauty shop war, when their attention was attracted to anautomobile which was parked around the corner. On tracingits license it was learned that it had been registerd by oneJohn Burns. This was one of the numerous aliases em-ployed by James �Fur� Samrnons, and so a hunt for himwas made but without success. It was even rumored that�Fur� had been terribly wounded in the machine-gun �reand either dead or in the hands of one of Gangland�s physi-cians�men who treat wounded gangsters for a price and

do not notify police. If their patient dies his gotta dia-poses oi the body. But �Fur&#39; could not be loca and�nally the police ceased to look for him and the incidentof the Beauty Shogllliystery was abandoned as insolvable.

During these ys there were rumors that politicalsrotection in Cicero was about to shift from Capone to the&#39;Donnel] gang, a rumor which was worked for all it was

worth by �Klondike� in his sales talks to the roadhouloowners and dive keepers. To some of them the rumortook on the aspect of truth when it was reported thatWilliam McSwiggin, ace prosecutor, in the o�ice of State�:Attorney Robert E. Crowe had been seen frequently inCicero in company members of the 0�Donneii gang,two of whom, curiously Qlldl�ll, he had unsuccessfully pm-secuted for the murder of die Tancl. Other old-timersin Cicero sco�ed at this however and pointed to the factthat McSwigfin was rnerelf out in Cicero having a oodtime, some 0 the O�Donnel gangsters had been bis class-mates in high school. Anyway it was strange that a publicof�cial should chum around with the underworld ent ,and it certainly was embarrassing to Al Capone the figsFellow whatever the reason for it miglht be. &#39;l"he gpeople of Chicago who did not know of t ese strange asso-ciations between hoodlums and prominent public of�ciala,were, therefore profoundly shocked when, in the earlystreet editions, o_ the morning newspapers they read t-QtWilliam H. McSwiggin was one of three men killed bymachine-gin bullets in front of the saloon of John Madiganat 5613 est Roosevelt road. The other two victims, hiscompanions were James Doherty and John Duffy, the menhe had tried for the murder of Eddie Tancl.

In this murder the public saw a climax to the killingsof Gangland, and the question �Who Killed McSwiggin"was on the lips of every strap-hanguer for weeks. Inchgna-tion and excitement were intense. emands for an answerto the question peristed and, in the endless columns ofnewspaper space devoted to the murder, a vast number ofdilferent theories were advanced and discussed in detail.

&#39; One of the _stories relate_d that as �Klondike� O&#39;Donnell,his brother, 1vicSwiggin, uoherty, and Duriiy rode intoCicero a Sicilian, standing in the shadows o a building

they had passed, raced to Ca-Eone&#39;s headquarters, where the

ig Fellow was _at dinner.He listened to the messenger�:news as he ate and, wh hehad �nished, he calmly walkedto the rear of the hotel, tookout the machine guns from Icloset, and went out, followed

_ _ by three men."�¢ " An eye witness to the mur-

der, said that e greet snmmebile sped past the four men asthey walked out of the road-

More than two-hundredbullets were �red. �Klondike�pulled McSwiggin&#39;s body intohis automobile and had it takento the O&#39;Donnell home, butlater it was again placed in thecar and taken and dumped on-to a spot in a street of a suburbadjoining Cicero _so, as �Klon-dike� later explained, that _noone would know that McSw1g-gin was with gangsters.Another story has it that�Klondike� had paid $40,000 toMcSwiggin and wanted to getit back again.

?"there is honor among thieves.� " "&#39;l"here isn&#39;t any such quality in the

-Intercity. There is fur whim seafla�lips, but there is nothing akin toloyalty in it. The criminals are allfirst cousins of Judah and there is

&#39;not one of-them who would not sellhis own brother tor a price it hethought he could do it without de-tectlon.

"Thirty pieces of silver" was theprice o! the Crucifixion. The currentmarket price of betrayal ranges be-tween a "C" note $100! or a Grand 81110!. We buy this kind of in-formation at the market and pay forit C. O. D.

In spite cl� the fact that A1 Caponemade public acknowledgment when

92 �he was convicted that the �ecret Bi:-had licked him, we do not claim thecredit for the long series oi convic-tions of public enemies accomplishedby the State&#39;s Attorney and theUnited States District Attorney. Wehave been helpful in apprehending

lcriminals, in developing evidence, tn�the protection of witnesses and indoing many things for the prosecu-tors which they were not able todo for themselves, and they have�been kind enough in man. Pqb�qacknowledgment of the value andeffectiveness of the service.

We are not required to account forthe money we spend except to a.small auditing committee whose per-sonnel changes monthly. This com-mittee destroys all money recordsevery month after it has given itscerti�cate that it has examinedtheaccounts. The purpose of this isobvious. The continued existence ofthe records might jeopardize many of

�the agents and operatives of thecommittee.

llany oi� the ringleaders of the"syndicate" are now in jail, but thebiggest step in breaking up the

.P°iii.iB0-Criminal alliance that hadbecome the invisible governmenfwas

ptaken in the municipal election ayear ago when the thieves wereturned out oi� the temple and a new

�administration pledged to good gov-iernment was elected by an over-Lwhelmlng majority. The Secret Bi:

doesn�t claim the credit tor this, butthe Association of Commerce had a
