At the very least, he outlived Capone by just over a decade. Crime doesn't pay, but neither, it seems, does being an honest cop.

Thanks. This also inspired me to rewatch the "Prohibition" series from Ken Burns. Look for that post next week.

Ah ok. Then it would be "left him for a woman," I think (another implies he is a she).

Yes, I saw those in the book. He also DID do all the great things I mentioned.

As I said: complicated man.
