Résumé
Read in this informative book about how Chicago gangster Al Capone, under orders from his boss Johnny "The Fox" Torrio took over the town of Cicero Illinois through rigging its election by using armed gunman to intimidate voters at the polling booth in Cicero on April 1, 1924 so that Capone could install his puppet on the Republican ticket, the corrupt Joseph Z. Klenha, as mayor against the democratic opponent Rudolph Hurt.
Read about how this out-of-control violence in Cicero in which armed gangsters marauded up and down the streets in their cars brandishing heavy weaponry to intimidate voters, including beating up democratic election workers, led the Chicago Police Department to send a special contingent of plainclothes officers to Cicero where they subsequently shot and killed Al Capone's brother Frank Capone in a hail of bullets after spotting Frank Capone exiting a polling station on Cicero Avenue and 22nd Street in Cicero Illinois.
Also read about how Al Capone's first job, after fleeing New York for Chicago to escape retaliation for murders this gangster committed in NYC, was to be a whoremaster that recruited women to be employed as prostitutes at the Four Deuces gambling house speakeasy and brothel-saloon located at 2222 South Wabash Ave. in Chicago, Illinois. Read about what newspapermen that entered this establishment undercover found when they entered the second floor of this building controlled by the Chicago mob.
Also learn about other violent altercations that occurred at buildings in the 2200 block of South Wabash Ave. of Chicago, Illinois, between gangsters and petty criminals over gambling and money, since many of these buildings were cigar shops that were fronts for illicit gambling activity. The 2200 block of South Wabash in Chicago, Illinois, was also known as Chicago's South Side Levee or "The New Levee" and all sorts of saloons were located there with the main activities being gambling drinking and prostitution.
Finally read about how, once an anti-corruption mayor of Cicero Illinois, Joseph G. Cerny, was elected in 1932, defeating Al Capone's puppet Joseph Z. Klenha, his house was bombed by a group of criminals that threw the device from a moving automobile, leading Cicero Police Chief John L. Sullivan to arrest Al Capone's youngest brother, Umberto Capone, as a suspect in the bombing in addition to 11 other men at the Hawthorne Hotel in Cicero, Illinois.
