"Anyone who ever went to him for help got it" Al Capone was one of the if not the most powerful gangsters to ever live in America. It was once said by the head of CCC that: "Al Capone ran the city. His hand reached into every department of the city and county government ". Al was born on January 17, 1899 in Brooklyn N.Y. he was the fourth of 9 kids (7 boys and 2 girls) but the first the be conceived and born in the United States which he would brag about later in life. In the 6th grade Al was still maintaining a B average, and was also working as a shoe shine boy in the wall street lobby. When a kids gang ruined his chair and the cops wouldn't do anything about it Al realized that the police were not on his side. Soon after that while Al was in school one of his teachers hit him for disciplinary reason, Al being the tough kid that he was punched her back, getting himself expelled from school and sending him into a life of crime. Soon after he was kicked out of school Capone found a job working for a Johnny Torrie, Torrie gave Capone a cover job and paid him 3 dollars a week. Torrie really got Al involved in the numbers racked and soon promoted him to collecting money for debts to Johnn
The two Married soon after the birth of their son Albert Capone. Nobody was hurt but the restaurant was in tatters and Capone was pissed! So he had the North side gang leader killed. About this time is when Elliot Ness and the rest of his "Untouchables" (they were called the untouchables because even though Capone was shelling out around 30 million dollars a year for police protection these men would not accept any bribes) really got serious about catching Capone any way they could, declaring Capone "public enemy number 1". While Capone sat and ate lunch one day a few cars drove by and opened up fire on Capone's restaurant with Tommy Guns. While an undercover police officer was talking to someone from Capone's staff the staff member said: "Those income Dicks. When leaving jail it was estimated that Al had the intelligence of a 5th grader. Immediately Capone established agents along the east coast to transport his rum, and got Men in Florida, the Bahamas, and along the Canadian Border all of which work for his bootlegging business. He spent the last years of his life in a delusional haze fishing a lot some out of the swimming pool and getting very scared whenever a car would drive by the house. Soon Torrie would move out of New York, but not to leave his best money collector out of a job he hooked him up with Frankie Yale. On Jan 21, 1947 Al Capone Suffered a stroke and died 4 days later at the age of 48. At this time Capone had about all the power anyone could ever want. Capone very quickly became fed up with Bugs Moran. In 1926 Capone held a press conference telling other criminals to "Tone down the violence"(2) When Capone took full leadership of the gang they were in the middle of a huge gang war.
