Al Capone: Frank Wilson
built 220 days ago
Pursuing Capone were Treasury agent Eliot Ness and his hand-picked team of incorruptible U.S. Prohibition agents, "The Untouchables," and agent Frank Wilson of the Treasury Department's Bureau of Internal Revenue (now called the Internal Revenue Service). During a routine warehouse raid, they discovered in a desk drawer what was clearly a crudely coded set of accounts. Ness then concentrated on pursuing Capone for his failure to pay tax on this substantial illegal income.

Opening a brothel (The Stockade) in the outskirts of Chicago in a town called Cicero, Capone set brother Ralph up to manage it while Frank became the front man to payoff the politicians and policemen in the area. Frank wouldn’t hold the job long though. While walking down a Chicago street, a group of policemen approached him with their weapons drawn. The only known fact concerning the incident was that within moments bullets riddled Frank Capone’s body while the police called it self-defense. It was with considerable restraint that Al Capone chose not to begin an all out war against the Chicago Police Department.

Capone threw his brother a funeral unmatched in opulence. The flowers alone, provided by racketeer florist Dion O'Banion, cost $20,000. Lavish though it was, Frank's funeral was different than Big Jim Colosimo's. Bergreen says that "the perfume of crushed blossoms... sweet, did little to soothe the raw and sullen mood. There had been a festive air about "Big Jim's funeral, but Frank Capone's youth ensured that the tone of this last rites was entirely tragic; instead of singing, there was wailing...Chicago Police Chief Collins dispatched the same cops who had shot Frank to death to observe his funeral. Capone restrained himself from mounting a full-scale war against the Chicago Police Department."
