Sorry to bring back an old post, but I just saw this while reading about the Channon Christian tragedy.

You forgot both Mayors Daley in your list of famous Chicago gangsters.

Please help. I am researching information on my great grandfather “Diamond Louis Cowan” Al Capones bondsman. He was murdered in front of the Clifford Theatre with his bodyguard Joseph Corngold at his side. Any information helps. Thank You! Kim

Here are the rules: 1 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
2 - Please remember to not use all CAPS or capitalize the beginning letter of every single word or every other word, or use IM/text abbreviations (except like LOL). Please have respect for other readers and type words out. Not everyone is into that and it is inappropriate here.
