| 説明 | Essentially the father of the Chicago Outfit, "Diamond Jim" or "Big Jim" Colosimo was the forerunner of Johnny Torrio and Al Capone, having founded the South Side Gang.Born in Italy in 1878, 17-year old Colosimo emigrated to Chicago and became a bagman under aldermen "Hinky Dink" McKenna and John "Bathtub" Coughlin who delivered kickbacks from the red light district. He later operated some 200 brothels and got involved in gambling & racketeering. Ulimately, he brought together the disparate criminal crews in Chicago and formed the city's first crime organization.Harassed by the dangerous Black Hand gang, Colosimo enlisted his wife's nephew Johnny "The Fox" Torrio to come in from New York to be his second-in-command. Torrio brought with him his own bodyguard, Alphonse Capone.When Prohibition came along in 1920, Torrio suggested that the gang become involved in selling bootleg alcohol. Colosimo disagreed, saying it brought too much heat on the mob. Later, Colosimo was ambushed and killed in the parlor of his own restaurant. Nobody was ever arrested for the murder but it was suspected that Torrio brought in Frankie Yale to snuff his former boss. Suspicion also fell on Al Capone. Torrio then took over the gang.Located in Section E4, Oak Woods Cemetery, 1035 E. 67th StreetNote: The mausoleum door glass is shattered from a recent break-in. |
