I recall that Elliot Ness in his book said that Capone never was anything but pleasnt to him. I think he sort of knew that Ness was doing his job etc.

I would much prefer Capone as a neighbor to Hillary. I certainly would not do anything to antagonize Capone tho.

I new a guy whose grandfather was friends with Capone, or what they called friends.

His grandfather was a member of the “family”.

I once worked with the IRS agent who brought Capone down on income tax evasion. Whatever worked legally.

Mr. Little was quite a guy.

My chairman/teacher at NVCC (Police Science), was the rookie FBI agent who received the first phone call from the German saboteur agent Daesch telling about their submarine landing and sabotage missions, and his desire to surrender.

Agent Furcolow was a great teacher too. PS His brother was also an FBI agent. Nice family

I read that Hoover hated Ness.

Ness turned out rather badly.
