  1. Capone abducted election staff from opponents and resorted to abuse against voters. He finally won office in Cicero but not before his brother Frank was killed in a shootout with police force in Chicago.

2. He was made money-man by Capone’s bootlegging whiskey trail from Chicago to New York, but an incident involving Billy McSwiggin, known as the “hanging prosecutor,” was to become a big setback for the un-attackable gangster. McSwiggin was shot and killed in error by Capone’s henchmen during a shoot-out outside a bar between rivals. Capone was blamed but again he avoided arrest due to lack of evidence. Nevertheless, a major uproar toward gangster activity followed the assassination, and public opinion moved against Capone.

3. Capone played the role of peacemaker, calling on the other gangsters to sound down their aggression. He also managed to negotiate an amnesty among rival gangsters, and the killing and abuse ceased for two months. But Chicago had been firmly in the grasp of gangsters and Capone looked beyond the law’s control.
