 | | He was the Chicago representative in the formation of the national crime syndicate in 1934, led by Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and other New York bosses. | | | He dominated organized crime in the Chicago area from 1925 until 1931, when he was imprisoned for federal income tax evasion. | | | Yet there is a certain mystique associated with crime, a fascination that finds crime and the criminal at the same time offensive and appealing. |
