The Only Man in Chicago Al Capone Never Messed With - Black Devil

Black or no black, that bastard went out like a man. He had balls." — FBI wiretap, a Chicago mob boss, 20 years after ordering the hit. The man born to a sharecropper in the Louisiana bayou who never spent a day in school. The man who built a million-dollar empire from nickels and dimes on the South Side of Chicago. The man Al Capone looked at — and walked away from. The man who killed a made member of the Italian mafia with his own hands and beat the murder charge. The man who was offered $250,000 to disappear — and said no. When he learned he was dying of cancer, he sent his bodyguards home, put on his suit, and walked out the front door one last time. They killed him. They never broke him. And the South Side of Chicago never forgot his name.
