Man Who Gave Capone Start Dies In N Y
Johnny Torrio, the racketeer who helped launch Al Capone, died of a heart attack in a Brooklyn bar chair on April 16. His death, long unpublicized, leaves his widow Anna about 200000 dollars. Torrio, once a Chicago bootleg kingpin, aided Capone after establishing the first big illicit liquor syndicate. He began as bodyguard to Big Jim Colosimo before sending for Capone and steering Chicago’s crime scene until two assassination attempts prompted his move to New York.
