JAMIE FARR: WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THE WORD PROHIBITION, THEY THINK OF NAMES LIKE AL SCARFACE CAPONE, CHARLES LUCKY LUCIANO, BENJAMIN BUGSY SEGAL AND, THEY ALSO THINK OF CITIES LIKE CHICAGO, NEW YORK AND LAS VEGAS.

BUT, ONE OF THE MOST RUTHLESS AND POWERFUL GANGS EVER CAME OUT OF DETROIT THE DETROIT LICAVOLI GANG.

AND, THEY CAME DOWN TO MY HOMETOWN OF TOLEDO, OHIO, IN THE EARLY 1930S.

AND, IT WAS THESE NAMES-- THOMAS YONNIE LICAVOLI, JOSEPH WOP ENGLISH AND JACOB FIRETOP SULKIN THAT TERRIFIED TOLEDOANS WITH A VIOLENCE THEY HAD NEVER, EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

AND, THE ONLY ONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO COME AGAINST THEM WAS A POPULAR, LOCAL BOOTLEGGER JACK KENNEDY.

AND, JACK ALWAYS CAME UP WITH A WAY TO OUTSMART THE GANG AND HE DIDN'T NEED A GUN TO DO IT.

NARRATOR: WHEN THE 18TH AMENDMENT WENT INTO EFFECT IN 1920, IT BANNED THE MANUFACTURE, SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND, INSTEAD OF CREATING A PERFECT, UPRIGHT SOCIETY, PROHIBITION PRODUCED ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT, CRIME-RIDDEN PERIODS IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

AND, DETROIT WAS AT THE HEART OF IT.

BY THIS TIME, MICHIGAN HAD BEEN DRY FOR YEARS ALREADY BECAUSE OF THE DAMON ACT WHICH PROHIBITED ALCOHOL BEGINNING IN 1917.

AS A RESULT, THEY HAD A JUMP ON THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WHEN IT CAME TO RUMRUNNING.

DETROIT'S CLOSE PROXIMITY TO BOTH CANADA AND OHIO ALLOWED BOOTLEGGERS TO PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE ALCOHOL WITH EASE.

MANY BOOTLEGGERS FAVORED DART BOATS, MAHOGANY SPEEDBOATS, WHICH EASILY OUTRAN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THE BOATS, MADE IN LIMA, OHIO, ATTRACTED INVESTORS IN TOLEDO AND, IN 1928, THE DART BOAT COMPANY OF TOLEDO WAS FORMED.

PRODUCTION CAME TO A HALT DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION, BUT TODAY, ORIGINAL DART BOAT MODELS ARE BEING RE-CREATED BY RAMSEY BROTHERS RESTORATIONS NEAR DOWNTOWN TOLEDO, NOT FAR FROM THE ORIGINAL DART BOAT FACTORY.

(MUSIC) DON PINCIOTTI: BACK THEN THERE WERE A LOT OF IMMIGRANTS.

LIKE MY FATHER AND MOTHER CAME FROM ITALY.

IN THOSE DAYS, I GUESS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY IN NEW YORK, ALSO IN TOLEDO, THEY HAD THE POLISH SECTION, THEY HAD THE ITALIAN SECTION, THEY HAD THE SECTION ON THE EAST SIDE AND THEY LIVED TOGETHER.

AND, THEY PROTECTED EACH OTHER.

DURING PROHIBITION, ORGANIZED CRIME ROSE UP TO REPLACE THE FORMERLY LEGAL METHODS OF ALCOHOL PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION.

AND, NO ONE WAS MORE NOTORIOUS THAN DETROIT'S OWN PURPLE GANG.

THE YOUNG PURPLES, MOSTLY CHILDREN OF RUSSIAN AND JEWISH IMMIGRANTS, QUICKLY GRADUATED FROM NUISANCE STREET CRIME TO ARMED ROBBERY, HIJACKING AND EXTORTION.

THE GANG BECAME NOTORIOUS FOR ITS HIGH PROFILE MANNER OF OPERATION AND SAVAGERY IN DEALING WITH ENEMIES.

THE PURPLE GANG RULED DETROIT'S UNDERWORLD FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS FROM 1927 TO 1932.

THEY WERE WIDELY FEARED AND ENJOYED ALMOST COMPLETE IMMUNITY FROM POLICE INTERFERENCE BECAUSE WITNESSES TO CRIMES WERE TOO SCARED TO TESTIFY AGAINST ANYONE IDENTIFIED AS A PURPLE.

THE GANG REPORTEDLY RECEIVED THEIR NAME DURING A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO DETROIT SHOP OWNERS, EACH OF THEM GANG VICTIMS.

ONE MADE THE COMMENT, THESE BOYS ARE NOT LIKE OTHER CHILDREN OF THEIR AGE.

THEY'RE TAINTED, OFF COLOR.

THEY RE ROTTEN, PURPLE LIKE THE COLOR OF BAD MEAT.

LED BY FOUR BROTHERS ABE, JOE, RAY AND IZZY BERNSTEIN THE PURPLE GANG PREFERRED HIJACKING TO RUMRUNNING.

ANYONE LANDING LIQUOR ALONG THE DETROIT WATERFRONT HAD TO BE ARMED AND PREPARED TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

EVEN AL CAPONE, CHICAGO'S MOST NOTORIOUS GANGSTER, MISTRUSTED THE GANG AND CHOSE TO USE THEM TO SUPPLY WHISKEY RATHER THAN BATTLE THEM FOR DETROIT TERRITORY.

AND, IT'S BEEN WELL-QUOTED THAT YONNIE LICAVOLI, ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH THE PURPLE GANG AND THE RIVER GANG, HAD WARNED CAPONE AWAY.

JOE KING: LICAVOLI TOLD AL CAPONE STAY THE HELL OUTTA DETROIT AND RUMOR HAS IT HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT EVER LIVED TO TALK THAT WAY TO CAPONE AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

THEY KNEW EACH OTHER AND THERE WAS COMMON RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER'S ACTIVITIES.

LICAVOLI WAS WELL AWARE OF CAPONE'S ACTIVITIES OUT OF CHICAGO AND CAPONE KNEW LICAVOLI'S ACTIVITIES IN TOLEDO AND DETROIT.

HIS POSITION WAS I DON'T MESS WITH THEM.

HE SAID THOSE PEOPLE HAVE NO RULES.

SO, HE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.

THE PURPLE GANG BEGAN TO DISSOLVE IN THE EARLY 1930S DUE TO INTER-GANG STRIFE AND WARFARE.

THEY MURDERED THREE OF THEIR OWN MEMBERS AND THIS EVENT, THE COLLINGWOOD MANOR MASSACRE, MARKED THE DOWNFALL OF THE GANG.

(MUSIC) THE GREAT DEPRESSION BEGAN AFTER THE STOCK MARKET CRASH IN 1929, AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS, LOST THEIR HOMES, LOST THEIR SECURITY.

OHIOANS WERE ESPECIALLY HURT AND TOLEDO WAS RAVAGED WITH 80 PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT.

DURING THESE DARK TIMES, FAMILIES DID WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO SURVIVE.

PROFESSOR MATTHEW DALEY: A LOT OF THE DEPRESSION'S CRISIS IS LOADED ON YOU.

AND, IF YOU CAN'T MAKE MONEY, YOU ARE A FAILURE.

YOU ARE LETTING YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COMMUNITY DOWN.

THAT'S DEVASTATING.

SO, WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE LIKE DILLINGER, LIKE MACHINE GUN KELLY, FIGHTING BACK, TAKING MONEY, THE PRESS SORT OF PLAYS INTO IT, PLAYS UP THE LARGESSE.

AT TIMES THEY ARE BRUTAL KILLERS, THEY'LL KILL BYSTANDERS, THERE'S SOMETIMES A TSK-TSKING, BUT BOY THEY LOOK GOOD BY COMPARISON AND SOMEBODY'S NOT TAKING THIS LYING DOWN.

YOU GET HERBERT HOOVER SAYING DON'T WORRY HAPPY DAYS ARE GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN.

WELL, ONCE YOU GET 2, 3, 4 YEARS IN THAT DOESN'T WORK SO WELL ANYMORE.

YOU CAN ONLY TELL PEOPLE THAT FOR SO LONG BEFORE YOU BUILD A REAL RAGE.

NARRATOR: AS PROHIBITION GRIPPED THE NATION AND ECONOMIC DEPRESSION DEEPENED, BOOTLEGGERS, GAMBLERS AND GANGSTERS FOUND REFUGE IN TOLEDO, OHIO.

IT WAS WELL-KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST THAT AS LONG AS THEY BEHAVED THEMSELVES, TOLEDO DIDN'T BOTHER THEM.

PROFESSOR MATTHEW DALEY: TOLEDO HAD A REPUTATION OF BEING SORT OF A MORE RELAXED TOWN.

IF YOU WANNA ROB A BANK, GO OVER TO CLEVELAND.

ROB THEM, C'MON BACK HERE.

DON'T ROB WITHIN TOLEDO'S BORDERS.

NARRATOR: IT WAS A WIDE-OPEN TOWN AND EMBRACED ITS SPEAKEASIES, ILLEGAL BOOZE AND GAMBLING.

IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT TOLEDO DREW THE LICAVOLI GANG.

DON VANDERHORST: I WAS 4 YEARS OLD WHEN WE MOVED OUT HERE.

I M 91 NOW.

WE WAS ALL MUSKRAT HUNTERS, TRAPPERS.

WE DID A LITTLE ILLEGAL STUFF, TOO.

NOBODY HAD ANY MONEY.

AS SOON AS SCHOOL WAS OUT, THEY TOOK OUR SHOES AWAY FROM US.

WE WAS BAREFOOT EVERYBODY WAS BAREFOOTED HAD TAR BETWEEN OUR TOES.

AND, EVERYTHING WAS DONE IN EXCHANGE FOR LABOR FOR THIS OR THAT.

THERE WAS NO MONEY.

MY DAD GOT ONE OF THE GANGSTERS- HE WAS GONNA DO A LOT OF WORK FOR HIM- IF HE COULD HAVE THAT HOUSE THAT WAS EMPTY THERE.

SO, THEY MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR HIM TO DO SOME WORK.

SO, ANYHOW, HE GOT THE HOUSE AND HE MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE HOUSE MOVER TO EXCHANGE LABOR FOR HIM FOR DOING THAT--MOVING THE HOUSE DOWN THERE.

IT WASN'T HIS HOUSE TO GIVE AWAY!

NO!

NO, AFTER IT WAS ALL OVER WITH AND THE HOUSE WAS ON THE FOUNDATION DOWN THERE- SHE WAS LIKE WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH MY HOUSE?

THAT WAS MY HOUSE THAT HE GAVE AWAY!

SOME GUY CAME LOOKING FOR IT (MUSIC) NARRATOR: THOMAS YONNIE LICAVOLI WAS BORN FEBRUARY 9, 1904, IN THE JEWISH TENEMENT SLUMS OF ST.

LOUIS TO SICILIANS MICHAEL AND GRACE LICAVOLI.

THEY HAD FOUR CHILDREN PETER JOSEPH, DOMIANO (WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY SLURRED BY NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS TO DOM OR YONNIE), GRACE AND DOMINIC.

THE FAMILY RAN A PROSPEROUS FRUIT BUSINESS, AND BOTH YONNIE AND HIS OLDER BROTHER PETER JOSEPH SPOKE FLUENT ENGLISH, ITALIAN AND YIDDISH.

YONNIE WAS VALEDICTORIAN OF HIS HIGH SCHOOL CLASS AND HIS PARENTS WANTED HIM TO BECOME A PRIEST AND PETER JOSEPH TO BECOME A DOCTOR.

BUT, THEIR SONS WERE FAR TOO INFATUATED BY THE LOCAL ST.

LOUIS GANGS AND THE TOUGH STREETS THEY GREW UP EXPLORING.

BY THE TIME HE WAS 15, YONNIE WAS ALREADY KNOWN BY THE ST.

LOUIS POLICE AND BY HIS 19TH BIRTHDAY, HE HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON.

BECAUSE OF HIS LEGAL TROUBLE, YONNIE DECIDED TO LEAVE ST.

LOUIS AND HE FOLLOWED PETER JOSEPH TO DETROIT WHERE THEY JOINED THE INFAMOUS PURPLE GANG.

YONNIE ALSO MARRIED ZENA MOCERI AND THEY HAD TWO DAUGHTERS, GRACE AND CONCETTI.

YONNIE QUICKLY ROSE THROUGH THE RANKS OF THE CRIMINAL WORLD TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL GANGSTERS IN DETROIT.

WELL-KNOWN FOR THEIR BRUTAL TACTICS IN DEALING WITH RIVALS, THE BROTHERS SOON CONTROLLED A LARGE-SCALE OPERATION SMUGGLING LIQUOR FROM CANADA ACROSS THE DETROIT RIVER TO THE UNITED STATES.

BUT, IN 1927, LICAVOLI AND HIS ASSOCIATE FRANK CAMMARATA WERE CONVICTED ON WEAPONS CHARGES IN WINDSOR, ONTARIO, AND SERVED THREE YEARS IN A CANADIAN PRISON.

AFTER YONNIE'S RELEASE, THE DETROIT POLICE STRONGLY SUGGESTED TO THE LICAVOLIS THAT THEY LEAVE.

IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE BROTHERS NEEDED A NEW START AND THEY DECIDED TO EXPAND THEIR LIQUOR OPERATIONS TO TOLEDO, OHIO.

THEY SET UP A MEETING WITH TOLEDOAN JACOB FIRETOP SULKIN WHO HELPED PLAN THE GANG'S MOVE, PROVIDING THEM WITH POLITICAL CONNECTIONS AND INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT VARIOUS OPERATIONS IN TOLEDO.

FIRETOP WAS KNOWN AS A FIXER AND GOT HIS NICKNAME FROM HIS RED HAIR AND BAD TEMPER.

HE MADE FRIENDS WITH ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

PEOPLE WITH POWER AND INFLUENCE.

FIRETOP FIRST MET YONNIE AND PETER JOSEPH AT THE VILLA, A ROADHOUSE ON DIXIE HIGHWAY.

WITH ITS HIDDEN ROOMS, ESCAPE TUNNELS AND LONG CRIMINAL HISTORY, IT WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR THEM TO DISCUSS THE GANG'S TRANSITION TO TOLEDO.

TODAY, THE RESTAURANT STILL MAINTAINS ITS PROHIBITION ATMOSPHERE.

THOUGH THE MIRRORED CRAPS TABLES NO LONGER COME DOWN AND THE DOME ABOVE WHERE ARMED GANGSTERS USED TO MONITOR GAMBLERS IS SEALED OVER, THE VILLA IS STILL FULL OF SECRETS AND POSSIBLY A FEW GHOSTS.

ALEX TSIPIS: WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT COME HERE LIKE, 70, 80 YEARS OLD AND THEY'RE TELLING ME STORIES ABOUT HOW WHEN THEY WERE KIDS, THEIR GRANDPARENTS TOOK THEM HERE.

AND, IT HASN'T CHANGED, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LIKE WOW.

THAT'S HOW WE GET A LOT OF OUR BUSINESS, ACTUALLY- IS JUST FROM PEOPLE WANTING TO COME IN FOR ALL THE HISTORY, YOU KNOW.

IT REALLY IS AND YOU CAN T GO ANYWHERE NOWADAYS LIKE THAT.

EVERYTHING'S ALL MODERN AND, YOU KNOW, THIS HAS JUST SO MUCH HISTORY AND PEOPLE WANNA COME IN HERE AND WANNA FEEL IT.

(MUSIC) WHEN YONNIE LICAVOLI CAME TO TOLEDO, HE BROUGHT HIS BROTHER PETER JOSEPH, HIS COUSIN JIMMY BLACKJACK LICAVOLI, HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW LEO MOCERI, HITMAN JOHN MIRABELLA, AS WELL AS RALPH CARSELLO, RUSSELL SYRACUSE, ERNEST LASALLE AND JOHNNY RAI.

ONCE IN TOLEDO, THEY RECRUITED JACOB FIRETOP SULKIN, CHALKY RED YARANOWSKI, JOSEPH WOP ENGLISH, SEBASTIAN BUSTER LUPICA AND ANTHONY WHITEY BESASE.

AND, THEY INTENTIONALLY TARGETED THE BOOTLEGGERS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY WAS, ACCORDING TO FIRETOP.

THE FOUR MAJOR BOOTLEGGERS INCLUDED JACK KENNEDY, JIMMY LEAHY, ABE THE PUNK LUBITSKY AND CHALKY RED YARANOWSKI.

THOUGH SOFT-SPOKEN AND ALWAYS WELL-DRESSED, YONNIE USED A COMBINATION OF INTIMIDATION AND BRUTALITY TO TRY TO CONVINCE THEM TO PARTNER UP.

LICAVOLI ALSO TURNED HIS ATTENTION TO TOLEDO DRY CLEANERS AND SHOP OWNERS.

OLD MOVIE: SIGN THIS.

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A MEMBERSHIP FOR THE NEW PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.

HURRY UP.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.

BUT, I DON'T WANT IT.

I DON'T NEED PROTECTION.

NOT THAT KIND.

I WON'T SIGN IT.

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW HOW HIGH THIS COULD BLOW ONE OF THESE JOINTS.

PUT YOUR NAME ON THAT.

NARRATOR: HE EXPLAINED, I PROVIDE YOU WITH INSURANCE AGAINST INJURY, DEATH OR DESTRUCTION.

IF YOU FAIL TO BUY IT, ONE OF THESE THINGS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

INDIVIDUAL SHOP OWNERS IN THE MIDST OF THE DEPRESSION COULDN T ABSORB PROTECTION LEVIES AND WHEN THEY WERE UNABLE OR REFUSED TO PAY PROTECTION MONEY, THEIR SHOPS WERE BOMBED.

THE GANG ALSO MUSCLED IN ON THE NIGHT LIFE.

SOME, LIKE SHOWBOAT LOUNGE OWNER CHET MARKS, TRIED TO RESIST.

BUT, WHEN LICAVOLI DECIDED TO TAKE OVER YOUR CLUB, YOU STEPPED ASIDE.

WHEN CHET MARKS DIDN'T, HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH BY SEVERAL OF LICAVOLI'S GANGSTERS.

JOE KING: I WOULD PUT HIM UP AGAINST ANY OF THE PROHIBITION SUPERSTARS, IF YOU WILL.

CAPONE, MORAN AND THOSE PEOPLE.

IN SOME WAYS, HIGHER BECAUSE HE WAS ON HIS OWN MORE THAN THE CHICAGO PEOPLE WERE.

HE WAS OUT OF DETROIT AND TOLEDO AND LICAVOLI PRETTY MUCH RAN TOLEDO.

NARRATOR: AT THIS TIME, ONLY ONE BOOTLEGGER REMAINED LEFT IN LICAVOLI'S WAY JACK KENNEDY.

AL DAVIS: MY GRANDFATHER'S UNCLES WERE IN VAUDEVILLE.

THEY SENT HIM POSTCARDS ALL THE TIME WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE GUY, 5 YEARS OLD AND WHAT NOT.

THAT INSPIRED HIM, HE WANTED TO GET INTO THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

HE WAS A PIANO PRODIGY AT AGE 5.

AND, HE COULD ONLY GO SO FAR IN ZANESVILLE SO HE WANTED TO MOVE TO TOLEDO WHICH HE DID RIGHT AROUND 1916.

IMMEDIATELY STARTED PLAYING, IMMEDIATELY FORMED A BAND.

THEY WENT GREAT GUNS.

PLAYING TOLEDO, PLAYING BOSTON, NEW YORK.

MY GRANDMOTHER OPAL MANAGED THE BAND.

MY GRANDFATHER WAS PLAYING ONE OF THE CLUBS, I DON'T RECALL, WASN'T TOLD WHICH CLUB IT WAS, AND HE WAS ONSTAGE PLAYING AWAY, AND MY GRANDMOTHER WAS SITTING THERE, WATCHING AS SHE DID, AND THIS VERY NICELY DRESSED MAN APPROACHED HER.

SHE DIDN T KNOW WHO HE WAS.

HE ASKED HER IF SHE HAD ANY PROTECTION FOR THE CASHBOX.

HE SAID YOU DO NEED PROTECTION FOR THAT CASH BOX AND HE REACHED INTO HIS SUIT JACKET AND HE PULLED OUT THIS-- .38 CALIBER REVOLVER.

JUDY COOK: MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A VERY SMALL, LITTLE LADY 4 FOOT 8.

I'M SURE WHEN HE SAW HER WITH THAT BUNDLE OF MONEY, HE WAS PROBABLY THINKING, YEAH SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO PROTECT HER.

BUT, WE CAN T HELP BUT WONDER WHERE THIS CAME FROM.

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

HOW DID HE ACQUIRE THAT GUN?

HE MUST VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A SOFT SPOT THERE FOR SOME REASON.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR:JOHN KENNEDY SR., KNOWN BY ALL AS JACK OR JACKIE, WAS BORN IN BUFFALO IN 1908 AND RAISED IN TOLEDO.

HE ATTENDED ST.

MARY'S GRADE SCHOOL AND THEN CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL WHERE HE DROPPED OUT AT 15, PREFERRING TO HANG OUT INSTEAD AT HIS UNCLES SALOON, THE SOLDIER AND SAILOR'S CLUB.

NOT A LOT IS KNOWN ABOUT JACK'S EARLY YEARS BUT, HE HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A NATURAL ATHLETE, SOMEONE WHO WAS COMPETITIVE, PHYSICAL AND LIKED A GOOD FIGHT.

THE IRISH BOOTLEGGER WAS ALSO KNOWN FOR HIS DARK, GOOD LOOKS AND ABILITY TO READ PEOPLE.

AT 19, JACK MET AND MARRIED WINIFRED ANDRES, AND A YEAR LATER THEY WELCOMED THEIR ONLY CHILD, JACK JR.

WITH A FAMILY TO SUPPORT, JACK RETURNED TO THE BAR BUSINESS AND OPENED THE STUDIO CLUB.

IT BECAME THE PLACE TO BE SEEN AND JACK'S CHARM AND EASY-GOING NATURE WON HIM MANY IMPORTANT FRIENDS INCLUDING POLITICIANS, POLICEMEN AND NEWSPAPER PEOPLE.

WHILE POLICE CRACKED DOWN AND CONTINUALLY RAIDED LICAVOLI'S CLUBS, JACK'S POPULAR STUDIO CLUB THRIVED.

HE SOLD HIS BEER FOR ONLY 15 CENTS A GLASS COMPARED TO YONNIE'S 25 CENTS A GLASS AND JACK WAS ALWAYS WARNED BEFORE RAIDS, GIVING THEM TIME TO STASH THE ALCOHOL AND REPLACE IT WITH SPARKLING WATER.

MEANWHILE, YONNIE'S GOLDEN ROSE SUPPER CLUB SHUT DOWN AND HE DIDN T KNOW WHO TO BLAME.

HIS ATTENTION TURNED TO KENNEDY WHOSE STUDIO CLUB RAN AS WIDE OPEN AS THE MERRY-GO-ROUND AT WALBRIDGE PARK.

KEVIN KENNEDY: AND, I THINK HE WAS A HERO TO PEOPLE BECAUSE HE DIDN T USE THE GUNS MAYBE AS MUCH AS OTHER PEOPLE.

AND, HE HAD A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS, OR A BUSINESS, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT TO.

NARRATOR: BUT, ALONG WITH ITS SUCCESS, CAME A HEAVY STRAIN ON JACK'S MARRIAGE DUE TO LATE NIGHT WORK HOURS, RUMORS OF LIAISONS AND FEAR THAT HIS WIFE AND BABY WERE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THREATS FROM THE LICAVOLI GANG.

AFTER TWO YEARS, HE AND WINNIE DIVORCED.

DON PINCIOTTI: I VISITED JACK OFTEN AT HIS HOUSE AND HE HAD A LOT OF PICTURES OF HIS FATHER- PICTURES MUCH LIKE THIS ONE I HAVE HERE.

AND, HE WOULD LOOK THROUGH THEM AND, JUST FOR ME NOT TO SAY ANYTHING AT THE TIME, BECAUSE HE WOULD CONCENTRATE ON HIS DAD.

HE MISSED HIS DAD VERY MUCH.

BUT, THEY WERE VERY SIMILAR.

THEY ALMOST LOOKED ALIKE.

JACK ENDED UP BEING A GREAT ATHLETE IN TOLEDO.

AND, HE WAS ALWAYS INVOLVED, JACK JR., WAS ALWAYS INVOLVED IN SOME TYPE OF BINGO.

WE STARTED THE BINGO GAMES IN TOLEDO.

SO, HE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF HIS FATHER IN HIM, YEAH.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: MANY PHRASES HAVE BEEN USED TO DESCRIBE JACK KENNEDY: BEER BARON, ROMANTIC RACKETEER, COURAGEOUS PUNK, EVEN THE BEST-LOOKING MAN IN TOWN.

BUT, EVERYONE AGREED THAT HE BECAME A SYMBOL OF RESISTANCE.

AS THE LICAVOLI GANG WREAKED HAVOC THROUGHOUT TOLEDO, JACK KENNEDY REFUSED TO SPLIT LIQUOR PROFITS AND FOUND WAYS TO CONTINUALLY OUTSMART THE GANG USING SIMPLE AND NON-VIOLENT METHODS.

PAUL VANDERHORST: ALL THE KIDS LIKED HIM BECAUSE HE WOULD GIVE THEM CANDY.

THEY SAID WHEN HE CAME OUT OF THE STORE, HE'D HAVE A HANDFUL OF CANDY AND HE'D JUST THROW IT UP IN THE AIR AND THE KIDS WOULD ALL SCATTER AND GET THE CANDY.

NARRATOR: LICAVOLI NEVER APPROACHED HIM WITH A 50-50 PROPOSITION BECAUSE HE WAS FOREWARNED THAT JACK LOVED A GOOD FIGHT AND HAD FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES, INCLUDING CAPTAIN GEORGE TIMINEY AND MANY OTHERS AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

I KNOW ONE THING MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME HE SAID HE COULD TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.

WHEN JACK HEARD THAT HE WAS ON THE SPOT, HE AND HIS FRIEND WILFORD SCHARER DECIDED TO CONFRONT LICAVOLI AT HIS NEWLY-ACQUIRED CRESCENT CLUB.

THEY CLIMBED AN IRON STAIRCASE, SNUCK THROUGH A WINDOW AND CREPT INTO A ROOM WHERE YONNIE AND SOME OF THE GANG WERE WORKING.

COVERED IN PLASTER DUST, WEARING WORK CLOTHES AND WITHOUT GUNS, THE TABLES HAD TURNED.

DIRECT AS ALWAYS, JACK ASKED YONNIE IF THERE WAS ANY TRUTH TO THE RUMORS THAT HE WAS TO BE KILLED ON SIGHT.

CAUGHT OFF GUARD, GUNS POINTED AT HIM, YONNIE TRIED TO SKIRT THE QUESTION AND MADE A JOKE ABOUT HOW IF THEY SHOT HIM, HE'D BE FOUND DEAD IN HIS WORK CLOTHES AND HIS FRIENDS WOULD LAUGH AT HIM.

HE CONTINUED TO ASSURE JACK THAT HE HAD NEVER ISSUED SUCH AN ORDER AND, OF COURSE, THE GANGSTERS BACKED HIM UP.

ACCORDING TO FAMILY LEGEND, AFTER THEY LEFT, SCHARER SAID, WE SHOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THEM.

JACK, YOU'LL BE DEAD IN SIX MONTHS.

HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU.

DIDN'T YOU SEE HIS EYES?

LICAVOLI WAS ANGRY AND EMBARRASSED THAT KENNEDY WOULD COME INTO HIS PLACE AND QUESTION HIM.

HE KNEW JACK KENNEDY HAD TO GO.

WHEN RUMORS REACHED SADIE GROMINTZ, JACK'S STEPMOTHER, SHE BEGGED HIM TO GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS, CLAIMING SHE HEARD THAT JOSEPH WOP ENGLISH SAID HE WAS GOING TO GET KENNEDY.

THE WOP, AS HE WAS CALLED, WAS CHRISTENED SEREFINO SINATRA AND HAD GROWN UP IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AS JACK.

THE GANG RECRUITED HIM AS THEIR MUSCLE WHEN THEY ARRIVED IN TOLEDO AND THE WOP HAD BEEN A PRIZE FIGHTER IN HIS EARLIER YEARS.

IN 1919, WHEN TOLEDO HOSTED THE WILLARD-DEMPSEY HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT, WOP ENGLISH WON THE OPENING FIGHT, KNOCKING HIS OPPONENT OUT IN THE FIRST ROUND IN 72 SECONDS.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: ON THE NIGHT OF NOVEMBER 30, 1932, JACK AND HIS 22-YEAR-OLD GIRLFRIEND LOUISE BELL WENT TO A MOVIE AT THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

AFTERWARDS, THEY DECIDED TO GO TO THE STUDIO CLUB FOR A LATE DINNER.

ON THE WAY, WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AT SUPERIOR AND JACKSON, A SEDAN PULLED UP.

MACHINE GUNS PROTRUDED FROM THE WINDOWS AND IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 11:40 PM WHEN THE GUNMEN FIRED AROUND 20 SHOTS.

AT THAT MOMENT, KENNEDY WAS LEANING FORWARD TO SHIFT GEARS, OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE.

THE BULLETS CRASHED THROUGH THE REAR SIDE WINDOW AND PASSED BEHIND JACK'S HEAD.

BUT, LOUISE, WHO LEANED AGAINST THE SEAT, WAS HIT IN THE LEFT TEMPLE.

DAZED, JACK TRIED TO STOP THE BLOOD FLOWING FROM LOUISE'S HEAD AND STUNNED WITNESSES WATCHED AS SHE WAS RUSHED TO ST.

VINCENT S HOSPITAL.

SHE DID NOT REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND DIED A FEW HOURS LATER.

NOT MUCH ELSE IS KNOWN ABOUT LOUISE BELL OTHER THAN SHE WAS FROM LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, AND LIVED AT NO.9 JARVIS APARTMENTS.

SHE HAD BEEN LIVING IN TOLEDO FOR A YEAR AND WAS A MANICURIST.

THE POLICE ARRESTED JACK, MOSTLY FOR HIS OWN SAFETY, AND HELD HIM IN THE SAFETY BUILDING WHILE THEY QUESTIONED HIM ALL NIGHT.

JACK WOULD NOT GIVE ANY DESCRIPTION OF THE GUNMEN AND SAID HE WOULD HANDLE THE MATTER HIMSELF.

POLICE CHIEF LOUIS HAAS BELIEVED JACK KNEW THE KILLERS EVEN THOUGH HE DENIED IT.

LOUISE BELL WAS LAID TO REST IN CALVARY CEMETERY AND JACK SWORE THAT HE WOULD HAVE VENGEANCE.

AFTER LOUISE'S DEATH, JACK WENT INTO A DARK SPIRAL.

HE VOWED REVENGE AND PROMISED TO DRAPE LOUISE'S GRAVE WITH THE BODY OF HER KILLER.

HE CLOSED THE STUDIO CLUB (WHICH HE LATER RE-OPENED AS THE BLACK HAWK CAFE), AND TOLEDOANS CLAIMED HE DROVE AROUND THE CITY WITH A SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN ON HIS LAP, HUNTING THE LICAVOLI GANG.

AT THIS POINT, JACK KNEW HE WAS MARKED FOR DEATH.

ACCORDING TO A BLADE ARTICLE, AN AGENT TALKED TO JACKIE IN A HOTEL SUITE AFTER THE BELL MURDER.

JACK SAID HE WAS GETTING LITTLE SLEEP BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS ON THE SPOT.

HE SLEPT WITH A PISTOL UNDER HIS PILLOW, AND WAS ALWAYS ON THE ALERT.

HE SAID HE DIDN T WANT TO BE MIXED UP WITH THE POLICE, AND WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE AFFAIR HIMSELF.

THE BELL MURDER STIRRED AUTHORITIES INTO ACTION TOLEDO POLICE CRACKED DOWN ON ILLEGAL STILLS AND CLUBS, AND A FEDERAL GRAND JURY ISSUED ARREST WARRANTS FOR LICAVOLI AND HIS GANG.

BUT, THEY WERE UNABLE TO BE LOCATED.

THE POLICE AND PROSECUTOR PROVED TO BE INEFFECTUAL AND HINDERED BY POLITICIANS.

FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF RESULTS, TOLEDOANS TURNED TO FRAZIER REAMS.

KNOWN FOR HIS DASHING GOOD LOOKS AND HONESTY, HIS CAMPAIGN, CLEAN UP TOLEDO, APPEALED TO THE CITIZENS AND HE WAS ELECTED LUCAS COUNTY PROSECUTOR IN 1932.

FRAZIER REAMS JR: HE WENT TO VANDERBILT LAW SCHOOL.

HE GOT HIS DEGREE AND STARTED TO LOOK AROUND TO PRACTICE LAW.

HIS BROTHER HAD MOVED TO TOLEDO, OHIO, AS A SURGEON AND HAD A GOOD JOB AND A GOOD LOCATION AND DAD SAID, I'D LIKE TO MOVE UP WITH YOU.

HE SAID, FINE, C'MON.

SO, DAD MOVED UP THERE AND THEN HE JUMPED IN HE CAME UP AND INTERVIEWED FOR A JOB WHILE HE WAS STILL PRACTICING DOWN IN TENNESSEE AND HE GOT A JOB SO THEN HE SWITCHED.

AND, HE MET MY MOTHER AT EPWORTH CHURCH.

SHE WAS SINGING IN THE CHOIR AND HE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE BOY SCOUTS.

AND, THEY MET EACH OTHER AND GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND GOT MARRIED.

IT WORKED.

NARRATOR: DETERMINED TO RID TOLEDO OF THE GANGS, REAMS ORDERED ALL SLOT MACHINES OUT OF THE CITY, HOPING TO CUT LICAVOLI'S REVENUE AND DRIVE HIM ELSEWHERE.

HE ALSO ORDERED WIRETAPS ON ERNEST LASALLE AND FIRETOP SULKIN, TOP MEMBERS OF THE LICAVOLI GANG.

MANY BELIEVED REAMS HAD INFORMED JACK ABOUT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS THAT WERE IN THE WORKS TO REMOVE LICAVOLI AND HIS GANG FROM TOLEDO AND THAT JACK HAD TESTIFIED BEFORE A SECRET GRAND JURY.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: ON JUNE 5, 1933, THE MICHIGAN STREET INCIDENT, AS IT BECAME KNOWN, WAS THE SPARK THAT FANNED THE LICAVOLI GANG'S WILDFIRE.

ACME SALES WAS A WELL-KNOWN FRONT FOR JOE AND BEN FRETTI'S SLOT MACHINES AS WELL AS A HANGOUT FOR THE LICAVOLI GANG.

WHEN JACK DROVE BY, A FEW OF LICAVOLI'S MEN BEGAN TO TAUNT HIM.

JACK JUMPED OUT AND HEADED STRAIGHT TOWARD RALPH CARSELLO, JOHNNY RAI AND JOHN MIRABELLA.

JACK AND JOHN MIRABELLA COLLIDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

JACK'S FIRST BLOW BROKE MIRABELLA'S JAW AND KNOCKED OUT SEVERAL TEETH.

AS HE PUMMELED MIRABELLA INTO THE GROUND, CARSELLO AND RAI STAYED ON THE SIDEWALK, OUT OF JACK'S REACH.

HEARING THE COMMOTION, WOP ENGLISH RAN OUT AND JACK WARNED HIM TO STAY OUT OF IT, TELLING HIM TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS OR HE'D GET SOME OF THE SAME.

DON PINCIOTI: ONE OF THEM HAD CHALLENGED KENNEDY.

SO, KENNEDY WALKED UP TO THE GUY AND SAYS, C MERE, YOU AND I. AND, THEY FORMED A RING AND THEY FOUGHT AND JACK JUST KICKED THE HELL OUT OF THIS ONE GUY THAT HE WANTED TO CHALLENGE.

AND, FROM THAT POINT ON, THE MAFIA GUYS SAID WE RE GONNA GET HIM.

WITH A BEATEN MIRABELLA LAYING IN THE STREET AND JACK'S THREAT HANGING IN THE AIR, NO ONE CHALLENGED HIM.

DISGUSTED, KENNEDY TURNED AND WALKED BACK TO HIS PACKARD.

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, THEY FIRED ON HIM.

WITNESSES SAY 40-50 SHOTS WERE FIRED AS JACK FLED.

SINCE THE HUMILIATING FIGHT OUTSIDE THE ACME BUILDING, JACK'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE WORRIED ABOUT HIS SAFETY, BUT JACK BRUSHED THEIR CONCERNS OFF AND INSTEAD LAID LOW AT HIS POINT PLACE COTTAGE.

MOST BELIEVED, IF NOT FOR THIS INCIDENT, THE FEUD WOULD HAVE PROBABLY ENDED WHEN PROHIBITION ENDED LATER THAT YEAR.

EVERYONE WAS AFRAID FOR JACK AND THE POLICE WARNED HIM TO PROTECT HIMSELF.

THOUGH JACK WASN'T KNOWN FOR CARRYING A GUN VERY OFTEN, HE DID WEAR A BULLET PROOF VEST.

JACK'S FAMILY BEGGED HIM TO LEAVE TOWN, BUT HE SAID, I CAN'T.

I NEVER RAN FROM ANYBODY BEFORE AND I AM NOT RUNNING NOW.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

THE FIST FIGHT WENT INTO THE SHOOTING EVENT.

THEN, THE NEXT QUESTION WAS DID LICAVOLI REALLY WANT TO GO AFTER JACK KENNEDY TO THE EXTENT OF WHAT HAPPENED?

AND, RUMOR HAS IT THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN PERSUADED TO DO WHAT HAPPENED.

AND, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY WILL EVER KNOW THE ANSWER.

IT'S BEEN HAMMERED OUT IN COURT, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE RUMOR IS THAT HE WENT ALONG WITH IT.

ALMOST A MONTH AFTER THE MICHIGAN STREET INCIDENT, YONNIE'S FATHER-IN-LAW JOSEPH MOCERI DIED IN DETROIT.

HE AND HIS FAMILY IMMEDIATELY DROVE UP FOR THE FUNERAL GIVING YONNIE A PERFECT ALIBI.

DON PINCIOTTI: WELL, THE VEST, YEAH, THAT WAS ONE OF JACK'S PRIDE AND JOYS.

THIS VEST I HAVE HERE WHICH IS THE BULLET PROOF VEST THAT HE WORE THE FIRST TIME AND I'M NOT SURE IF HE WORE IT THE SECOND TIME WHEN THEY KILLED HIM BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE WEARING A VEST, YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD, YOU KNOW.

AND, JACK AND I HAD A BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT WE BOTH OWNED A BAR IN TOWN CALLED WESTGATE LOUNGE.

AND, I HAD LOANED HIM QUITE A BIT OF MONEY WHEN WE STARTED IT.

AND, THEN I DECIDED BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY NOT TO GET INTO THE BAR BUSINESS SO HE OWED ME QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND HE GAVE ME THIS BULLET PROOF VEST TO HOLD TIL JACK PAID THE MONEY BACK.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED TO JACK WAS HE DIED BEFORE HE COULD PAY ME BACK SO I HAVE THE VEST.

BUT, I M PROUD I HAVE IT AND I'M SURE IT'LL BE DISPLAYED SOME PLACE BEFORE I DIE BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, I'M 94 AND I WON T BE ALONG ANY MORE THAN 15 MORE YEARS, ANYWAY!

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: ON JULY 7, 1933, JACK PICKED UP HIS GIRLFRIEND AUDREY RALLS.

SHE WAS A MODEL AND ACTRESS, ORIGINALLY FROM MISSOURI, WHO LIVED WITH HER MOTHER, CLAIRE.

KNOWN FOR HER GOOD LOOKS, AUDREY ENTERED LOCAL BEAUTY PAGEANTS AND EVEN WON 2ND PLACE IN A PARAMOUNT PICTURES TALENT SEARCH.

SHE AND JACK HAD MET AT HIS BLACK HAWK CAFE A FEW MONTHS EARLIER.

THAT FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JACK AND AUDREY WENT FOR A SWIM IN THE MAUMEE BAY AND THEN RETURNED TO HIS COTTAGE FOR DINNER.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL EVENING AND AROUND 8:30 PM, THEY DECIDED TO WALK DOWN TO THE CORNER STORE TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS.

JACK'S BODYGUARD, KENNETH FRANCIS, FOLLOWED AT A DISTANCE.

SHIRLEY GREEN: WELL, THE STORY THAT THE DETECTIVE MAGAZINE SAYS IS THAT HE KNEW THAT YONNIE LICAVOLI WAS KIND OF DRIVING AROUND OUT IN THAT AREA, BUT HE WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

NARRATOR: WHEN THEY RETURNED TO THE COTTAGE, AUDREY CLAIMED THE MILK WAS SOUR SO THEY DECIDED TO WALK BACK AND GET A NEW BOTTLE.

THEY HEADED BACK TO THE EDGEWATER GROCERY STORE, BUT THIS TIME, WITHOUT KENNEDY'S BODYGUARD.

AT APPROXIMATELY 9:40PM, AT THE CORNER OF EDGEWATER DRIVE AND 140TH STREET, WOP SHOVED AUDREY OUT OF THE WAY AND MIRABELLA PISTOL-WHIPPED JACK TWICE IN THE FACE.

AS JACK BALLED HIS FIST TO FIGHT BACK, THE GANGSTERS OPENED FIRE, SHOOTING JACK APPROXIMATELY 12 TIMES, KILLING HIM INSTANTLY.

THEY RAN TO THE GETAWAY CAR, BUT THEN WOP ENGLISH RETURNED, FIRED A FINAL SHOT AND SPIT ON JACK'S BODY.

THE TWO GUNMEN JUMPED INTO THE GETAWAY CAR DRIVEN BY RUSSELL SYRACUSE.

AS THEY FLED POINT PLACE, THEY TOSSED THEIR GUNS OUT THE WINDOW.

BUT, BOTH GUNS FELL SHORT OF THE OTTAWA RIVER AND LANDED ON ITS BANKS.

CURIOUS PEOPLE BEGAN TO GATHER AROUND JACK'S FALLEN BODY AND THE POLICE ARRIVED LATE TO THE SCENE.

AUDREY WAS TAKEN TO THE COUNTY JAIL FOR QUESTIONING AND HER OWN PROTECTION.

SHE WAS QUESTIONED ALMOST 11 HOURS BY DETECTIVES.

DETECTIVE CARL HARTUNG SAID THAT SHE WAS COOL AND COMPOSED, AND DID NOT BREAK UNTIL SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE HELD IN CUSTODY OVERNIGHT.

I THINK ALL OF POINT PLACE WAS DOWN THERE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SEEN IT THAT DIDN'T SAY NOTHING.

THEY WERE SCARED TO DEATH.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE WITNESSES.

JACK'S BODY WAS TAKEN TO THE GASIOROWSKI FUNERAL HOME WHERE CORONER FRANK KREFT PERFORMED A DETAILED AUTOPSY WITH MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE IN THE STUFFY, OVER-CROWDED ROOM.

ACCORDING TO KREFT, ALMOST EVERY INTERNAL ORGAN HAD BEEN PUNCTURED BY THE BULLETS AND, SINCE ONE OF JACK'S HANDS WAS FORMED IN A FIST, HE HAD STARTED TO FIGHT BACK.

THE CITY WAS IN A FURY OVER THE DEATH OF ITS HERO.

HUNDREDS SHOWED UP TO JACK'S FUNERAL AT CALVARY CEMETERY WHERE HE WAS BURIED NOT FAR FROM LOUISE BELL.

AFTER THE FUNERAL, AUDREY WAS ARRESTED UNDER ORDERS OF FRAZIER REAMS FOR HER OWN PROTECTION.

DURING REAMS'S QUESTIONING, AUDREY TOLD AN OBVIOUSLY REHEARSED ACCOUNT OF THE SHOOTING AND CONTINUED TO INSIST THAT SHE COULDN'T IDENTIFY EITHER SHOOTER.

EVEN WHEN SHE VIEWED A LINEUP WITH WOP AND MIRABELLA IN IT, SHE SAID SHE WASN'T ABLE TO IDENTIFY EITHER.

THE GENERAL FEELING IS THAT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN IMPLICATED.

WE'LL NEVER KNOW.

BUT, IT WAS VERY SUSPICIOUS.

GOING BACK DOWN TO THE STORE AND, IT WAS JUST A- SOMETHING, IF SHE SET HIM UP IT WAS A TERRIBLE DEAL.

WHEN HE DID GET SHOT, THERE WAS NO BODYGUARD OR ANYTHING?

NO.

THAT'S A QUESTION- SO, MAYBE THAT'S THE THING.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE OUT HERE.

SO, WHICH MAYBE LEADS MORE TO THE CONCLUSION THE GIRL WAS PART OF IT.

YEAH.

I MEAN, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

HE WENT OUT WITH NO GUN, HE HAD A BULLET PROOF VEST, DIDN T HAVE THAT ON, DIDN T TAKE THE BODYGUARD, IT WAS DARK YEAH.

YEAH.

I MEAN, I GUESS YOU DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN FEAR.

I DON'T THINK HE WAS THAT TYPE OF GUY WANTING TO SIT AROUND WHAT'S AROUND THE NEXT CORNER.

I THINK THAT JUST WASN T HIS STYLE, TO LIVE SCARED.

MY FATHER WAS IN CCC CAMP.

IN 1933, HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD AND HE WAS ASKED TO GO TO CALIFORNIA.

AND, THEY CORRESPONDED BACK IN THE DAY BY LETTERS.

THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE.

AND, SHE GOT WORD THAT JOHN KENNEDY WAS KILLED IN POINT PLACE.

AND, IF I CAN READ THAT TO YOU DID YOU READ ABOUT KENNEDY THE BOOTLEGGER BEING ON THE SPOT?

HE WAS SHOT BY GANGSTERS FRIDAY NIGHT IN POINT PLACE.

THEY SHOT HIM FULL OF BULLETS.

THEY ARE HOLDING LICAVOLI TO MAKE HIM TELL WHAT HE KNOWS.

AND, THAT WAS ALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL, BUT THEY STILL WENT AFTER LICAVOLI AND THEY KNEW HE DIDN'T DO THE SHOOTING, BUT THEY KNEW HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: ON JULY 10, THE POLICE ARRESTED WOP ENGLISH, RALPH CARSELLO AND JOHN MIRABELLA AS THEY WERE PLAYING CROQUET ON LICAVOLI'S FRONT LAWN ON PEMBERTON DRIVE.

EACH CLAIMED TO HAVE AN ALIBI.

YONNIE THEN CALLED AND TURNED HIMSELF IN, ALSO WITH AN ALIBI OF BEING AT HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S FUNERAL.

REAMS ASKED DETECTIVE GEORGE TIMINEY TO BE ASSIGNED TO THE CASE.

TIMINEY HAD A VENDETTA AGAINST LICAVOLI, HAD CONSTANTLY HARASSED HIM AND HAD BEEN FRIENDS WITH KENNEDY.

REAMS THEN CALLED PROSECUTOR HARRY TOY OF DETROIT FOR HELP.

HE HAD BROKEN UP THE PURPLE GANG AND TOY SENT TWO OF HIS BIGGEST AND BEST DETECTIVES TO AID TIMINEY LEONARD SMITH AND JOHN MCDONALD.

THEIR IDENTITIES WERE KEPT SECRET AND THEY WERE REFERRED TO ONLY AS THE CLARKE BROTHERS.

SLOWLY, BUT SURELY, LEADS DEVELOPED.

SEVERAL YOUNG BOYS, INCLUDING EDWARD VANDERHORST, WERE PLAYING ALONG THE OTTAWA RIVER WHEN THEY FOUND THE .38 CALIBER REVOLVER.

DON VANDERHORST: IT WAS OVER THE HILL, ON THE BANK.

THE WATER WAS OUT.

IT HADN'T GOT IN THE WATER BECAUSE THEY PICKED IT UP AND SHOT IT.

MY DAD FOUND OUT THEY HAD FOUND THIS GUN AND HE SMELLED SOMETHING WAS WRONG SO HE TURNED IT IN AND STARTED THINGS MOVING.

PAUL VANDERHORST: HE TOLD GRANDPA ABOUT IT AND GRANDPA PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER AND THEN HE PASSED A NOTE TO A POLICE OFFICER, AND THEN THEY MET HIM HERE AND THEN THEY WENT AND GOT THE GUN.

AND, THEN THE POLICE OFFICER GAVE THEM HECK FOR NOT TURNING IT IN RIGHT AWAY.

AND, THEN HE SAID TO THE BOYS HE SAID YOU PROBABLY WILL WANT THIS GUN BACK AFTER THE TRIAL'S OVER WITH AND SO WE HAVE A LOT OF GUNS DOWN AT THE POLICE STATION, SO CARVE YOUR INITIALS IN THE HANDLE.

SO, THEY DID AND THEN WHEN THE TRIAL CAME UP, THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE GUN YOU FOUND?

AND, THAT WAS BECAUSE THE INITIALS WERE CARVED IN THE HANDLE.

A DAY LATER, THE .45 CALIBER COLT AUTOMATIC PISTOL WAS FOUND IN THE WEEDS NEAR OTTAWA RIVER ROAD.

THE WEAPON THAT WE HAVE ON DISPLAY THAT IS INVOLVED IN THE LICAVOLI CASE IS THE WEAPON ON THE TOP SHELF, TO YOUR RIGHT THERE.

IT'S A COLT OFFICER S MODEL .38 SMITH & WESSON.

AND, THAT IS THE WEAPON THAT WAS USED ONE OF THE WEAPONS THAT WAS USED TO KILL JACK KENNEDY.

DESPITE THE SERIAL NUMBER BEING FILED OFF THE .38, THE MANUFACTURER HAD SECRETLY PUT A SECOND SET UNDERNEATH THE PISTOL S GRIPS.

FROM THIS INFORMATION, POLICE WERE ABLE TO TRACE THE GUN TO ITS PREVIOUS OWNER WHO HAD PAWNED THE GUN TO THE MONROE MERCHANDISE & LOAN COMPANY.

UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE, POLICE ARRESTED PAWN SHOP EMPLOYEE SAM STEIN AND HE WAS INDICTED ON FIRST DEGREE MURDER BY THE LUCAS COUNTY GRAND JURY.

SHERIFF KREIGER TALKED TO 14 WITNESSES.

YET AFTER 11 DAYS IN JAIL, THROUGH ERROR, LICAVOLI AND HIS MEN WERE RELEASED WITHOUT HAVING TO POST BOND.

REAMS WAS FURIOUS AND ORDERED THEM TO BE ARRESTED AGAIN.

THE POLICE SEARCHED LICAVOLI S HOUSE, BUT COULDN'T FIND THEM.

LATER, A SECRET ROOM WAS FOUND IN THE BASEMENT WHERE THE GANG HAD BEEN HIDING.

(MUSIC) THERESA HARRINGTON: THIS IS THE SECRET TUNNEL OR ROOM.

IT LOOKED LIKE A BOOKCASE FROM THE OUTSIDE.

MAYBE HAD SOME CANNED GOODS ON IT.

AND, THEN YOU WOULD MOVE THE SHELF AND IT'S VERY HEAVY, PUSH THE DOOR OPEN.

HERE WE HAVE THE WIRES THAT ARE CUT TO THE DOORBELL.

WHICH YOU CAN SEE, IT S RIGHT HERE AND THEN A HUGE MASTER LOCK.

SO, HE WOULD STAY IN THERE AND THE AUTHORITIES COULDN'T FIND HIM.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: SAM STEIN, THE CLERK AT THE PAWNSHOP, WAS QUESTIONED BY THE CLARKE BROTHERS FROM DETROIT.

THE CLARKES USED ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO GET THE INFORMATION THEY NEEDED, AND STEIN LEFT THE INTERROGATION WITH BRUISED RIBS AND DIFFICULTY WALKING.

AFTER GOING THROUGH SEVERAL STORIES, STEIN FINALLY ADMITTED THAT HE HAD SOLD THE .38 TO FIRETOP SULKIN.

TOLEDO RESIDENTS REELED AS CHARGES WERE DROPPED AGAINST STEIN AND LODGED AGAINST FIRETOP.

FRAZIER REAMS KNEW HE HAD TO CUT OFF LICAVOLI'S MONEY SOURCES BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, THE GANG WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FUNCTION.

(MUSIC) NARRATOR: AS THE INVESTIGATION GAINED MOMENTUM, CITIZENS BEGAN TO SEE THAT LICAVOLI AND HIS GANG WERE NOT ALL-POWERFUL AND THEY BEGAN TO FALL APART.

THE PRESSURE RESTED HEAVILY ON FRAZIER REAMS'S SHOULDERS, AND FINALLY, IN AUGUST, FIRETOP SULKIN WAS INDICTED BY THE LUCAS COUNTY GRAND JURY FOR JACK'S MURDER.

HE WENT THROUGH A VIGOROUS ROUND OF QUESTIONING BY THE CLARKE BROTHERS AND THEN TO A JAIL CELL.

THREE MONTHS LATER, HE POSTED BAIL.

IN THE MEANTIME, EYE WITNESSES STEPPED FORWARD.

THEY WENT BEFORE THE GRAND JURY AND IDENTIFIED WOP ENGLISH, JOHN MIRABELLA AND RUSSELL SYRACUSE AS THE KILLERS.

MIRABELLA STILL HAD BANDAGES AROUND HIS HEAD FROM HIS BEATING BY KENNEDY ON MICHIGAN STREET AND THE WITNESSES REPORTED THAT.

ALL THREE WERE PROMPTLY INDICTED.

(MUSIC) JOSEPH WOP ENGLISH FACED TRIAL FIRST ON NOVEMBER 8, 1933.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE PACKED THE COURTHOUSE.

FRAZIER REAMS BROUGHT IN TWO ASSISTANT CHIEFS, JOEL RHINEFORT AND ARNOLD BUNGE, TO PREPARE THE PROSECUTION CASE AGAINST ENGLISH.

PRINCIPLE WITNESSES ROBERT SCHWAITE AND HARRY CRAIG BOTH TESTIFIED THEY WERE SITTING ON THE RUNNING BOARD OF A CAR AT THE MURDER SCENE, TALKING, WHEN THEY SAW A CAR STOP.

TWO MEN GOT OUT AND FOLLOWED JACK AND AUDREY.

AT THE CORNER, WOP PUSHED AUDREY ASIDE AND THEN HE AND JOHN MIRABELLA EMPTIED THEIR GUNS INTO KENNEDY.

A SECOND CAR, ALSO AT THE SCENE, WAS DRIVEN BY LEO MOCERI.

ACCORDING TO OTHERS, A THIRD CAR ALSO HAD PATROLLED THE STREETS AND THEY HAD PINNED JACK IN FROM ALL SIDES.

THE TRIAL ONLY LASTED FIVE DAYS AND ENGLISH WAS CONVICTED OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER IN THE KILLING OF JACK KENNEDY, WITHOUT A RECOMMENDATION OF MERCY.

WHEN THE VERDICT WAS ANNOUNCED, ENGLISH FAINTED AND HAD TO BE CARRIED OUT OF THE COURTROOM.

WHEN HE CAME TO IN THE JUDGE'S CHAMBERS, ENGLISH MET PRIVATELY WITH FRAZIER REAMS AND HIS TEAM FOR ALMOST AN HOUR.

PEOPLE WONDERED IF ENGLISH RATTED OUT LICAVOLI IN THE MURDER OF KENNEDY, TRYING TO MAKE A DEAL, BUT NOTHING DISCUSSED DURING THE MEETING WAS EVER REVEALED.

AFTER THE CONVICTION, ENGLISH WAS MOVED TO THE OHIO PENITENTIARY WHERE HE WAITED TO DIE IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.

THEN, ON MARCH 8, 1934, THE LUCAS COUNTY GRAND JURY INDICTED LICAVOLI AND HIS GANG MEMBERS FOR CONSPIRACY TO MURDER AND FIRST DEGREE MURDER,PER FRAZIER REAMS'S REQUEST.

(MUSIC) LICAVOLI'S TRIAL BEGAN OCTOBER 8, 1934, WITH JUDGE JOHN MCCABE PRESIDING.

LICAVOLI CHOSE FORMER TOLEDO MAYOR CORNELL SCHREIBER AND ELMER MCCLELLAND TO DEFEND HIM.

THE PROBLEM WAS HOW TO CONNECT LICAVOLI, THE LEADER, TO THE ACTUAL MURDERS.

THIS IS WHERE HARRY FRIBERG, WHO HAD BEEN CHARGED WITH WRITING UP THE INDICTMENT, INTRODUCED THE ELEMENT OF CONSPIRACY INTO CRIMINAL ACTION.

REAMS HAD USED WIRETAPS ON FIRETOP'S PHONE FOR 15 MONTHS BEGINNING JANUARY, 1933, AND THE WIRETAP EVIDENCE SHOWED CONSPIRACY OF THE GROUP.

IN CONSPIRACY, THE CHARGE OF ONE CAN BE APPLIED TO ALL.

BUT, LAWYERS CLAIMED THAT OHIO LAW AT THE TIME DID NOT PERMIT A CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY IN MURDER CASES.

HOWEVER, REAMS FELT IT WOULD HOLD UP IN COURT.

LICAVOLI'S TEAM BELIEVED THAT THE JURY WOULD SEE THAT HE COULDN T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF A FEW MEMBERS OF HIS GANG.

FRAZIER REAMS AND THE PROSECUTION ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY IN THEIR OPENING STATEMENTS CONCEDING THAT LICAVOLI NEVER PULLED THE TRIGGER, BUT HE ORDERED HIS GANG TO MURDER ANYONE WHO GOT IN THEIR WAY.

LICAVOLI HAD GOTTEN AWAY WITH, OR THOUGHT HE WOULD GET AWAY WITH HE WOULD HAVE THESE PEOPLE MURDERED, BUT HE WOULD BE VERY OBVIOUSLY NOT THERE ON THE SCENE.

SO, HE WAS A CLEAN WHISTLE.

AND, THEN, HE WOULDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER, BUT HE WOULD HIRE THESE OTHER GUYS TO PULL THE TRIGGER.

SO, DAD GOT HIM FOR CONSPIRACY, AND IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, A GOOD TRIAL AND A GOOD CONVICTION.

IN HIS CLOSING ARGUMENT, JOEL RHINEFORT SAID, KENNEDY WAS KILLED BECAUSE LICAVOLI WAS AWAY AND HAD A PERFECT ALIBI FIXED UP.

THE BOSS TOLD HIS HIRELINGS THAT THEY HAD MISSED KENNEDY ONCE BEFORE AND THAT HE WAS HARASSING THEM AND TO GO GET HIM WHILE LICAVOLI WAS AWAY.

KENNEDY WAS NOT A REPUTABLE BUSINESSMAN, BUT THERE WAS SOME SPARK IN THE MAN WHICH RESTRAINED HIM FROM KILLING.

THERE IS NOT ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT KENNEDY HAD EVER KILLED ANYONE IT WAS EITHER THE SENTENCING OR THE GUILTY VERDICT, THEY TOLD THE GIRLFRIEND, THE JUDGE DID, IN HIS EYES, THAT SHE WAS JUST AS GUILTY AS THE OTHER GUYS, BUT THEY COULDN'T PROVE IT.

BECAUSE SHE SET HIM UP.

LICAVOLI WAS FOUND GUILTY OF COMPLICITY AND CONSPIRACY IN THE FOUR MURDERS, WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF MERCY, AND JUDGE MCCABE SENTENCED HIM TO LIFE IN PRISON.

(MUSIC) JACOB FIRETOP SULKIN WENT ON TRIAL FEBRUARY 26, 1935, WITH DEFENSE ATTORNEYS CORNELL SCHREIBER AND PAUL RAGAN WITH JUDGE JOHN MCCABE PRESIDING.

THE WIRETAP ON FIRETOP'S PHONE RESULTED IN A VERY INCRIMINATING QUOTE: ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST; NEVER DO A FAVOR OR FIX FOR ANYBODY FOR NOTHING, AND FIND OUT HOW WE GET PAID AND GET THE CASH UPFRONT.

ASSISTANT PROSECUTOR HARRY FRIBERG DELIVERED THE FINAL ARGUMENT, SAYING LICAVOLI'S GANG COULD NOT HAVE OPERATED WITHOUT FIRETOP'S ASSISTANCE.

ON MARCH 22, THE JURY RETURNED A VERDICT OF GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH NO RECOMMENDATION OF MERCY.

BUT, FIRETOP WAS A TOLEDOAN WITH FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS, AND A PETITION WAS SIGNED ASKING GOVERNOR MARTIN DAVEY TO COMMUTE HIS SENTENCE TO LIFE WHICH HE DID.

JAMIE FARR: THIS IS, I THINK, 1930 SOMETHING OR OTHER.

I WAS BORN IN 1934, SO THIS HAPPENED TO MY MOM BEFORE I WAS BORN AND SHE TOLD ME THE STORY.

SO, I HOPE I GET IT RIGHT.

ANYWAY, SHE'S WORKING IN A STORE FOR MR.

ELIAS SLYBEE.

IT'S A CANDY STORE/ICE CREAM PARLOR AND A ROASTED PEANUT PLACE.

AND, I BELIEVE IT WAS ON ERIE STREET.

I M NOT SURE.

MY MOM WAS THE SALES LADY THERE.

AND, OF COURSE, PEOPLE WOULD COME IN TO BUY ICE CREAM AND ROASTED PEANUTS AND CANDY AND, IRONICALLY ENOUGH, THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE CANDY STORE/ICE CREAM PARLOR WAS THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE LICAVOLI GANG.

WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT!

MY MOM!

SO, WHAT HAPPENS, UPSTAIRS, THE GUYS LIKE ICE CREAM.

SO, THEY WOULD COME DOWN TO THE ICE CREAM PARLOR.

MY MOM WOULD BE BEHIND THE COUNTER AND, USUALLY, IT WAS FIRETOP AND HE FIRETOP SULKIN THEY CALLED HIM FIRETOP BECAUSE HE HAD A VERY BAD TEMPER AND HE HAD RED HAIR.

AND, HE USED TO COME DOWN AND HE WAS VERY NICE TO MY MOM AND HE'D ALWAYS BUY AN ICE CREAM CONE FROM MY MOM AND THEY'D HAVE A CHAT AND THEN HE'D GO BACK UPSTAIRS WITH THE GANG AND, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT GANGS DO IN THE 1930S.

AND, ONE DAY, FIRETOP CAME DOWN AND THERE WAS A CUSTOMER IN THERE THAT MY MOTHER WAS WAITING ON AND HE WAS RATHER RUDE AND MAKING ADVANCES TOWARDS MY MOM.

MY MOM WAS A PRETTY ATTRACTIVE LADY.

AND, SO FIRETOP LISTENED TO IT.

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING AT THAT TIME AND MY MOTHER MANAGED TO FEND THE GENTLEMAN OFF.

BUT, THE OTHER TIME, ANOTHER TIME, FIRETOP CAME DOWN THERE AND THAT GENTLEMAN WAS BACK AND HE WAS A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE NOW MAKING ADVANCES WITH MY MOM.

AND, HE, FIRETOP, KNEW THAT MY MOM WAS IN A SITUATION THAT WAS EMBARRASSING FOR HER SO HE DECIDED TO STEP IN.

AND, HE WALKED UP TO THE GUY AND HE SAID, MY NAME IS FIRETOP SULKIN.

I'M WITH THE LICAVOLI GANG.

I'M RIGHT UPSTAIRS THERE AND I DON'T WANNA EVER SEE YOU IN THIS STORE AGAIN.

AND, I DON'T WANT YOU EVER MAKING ADVANCES TO THIS WOMAN AGAIN BECAUSE IF YOU DO, IT'LL BE THE END OF YOUR DAYS.

WELL, SURE ENOUGH, HE NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN AND IT HAS A HAPPY ENDING MY MOM DIDN'T HAVE TO BE TROUBLED BY THAT GENTLEMAN EVER AGAIN.

AND, I GUESS THAT'S ONE NICE STORY YOU CAN TELL ABOUT FIRETOP.

I MAY BE THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD HAVE A NICE STORY ABOUT FIRETOP.

BUT, THAT'S WHAT MY MOM TOLD ME.

(MUSIC) YONNIE LICAVOLI ENJOYED YEARS OF PRIVILEGE IN PRISON, INCLUDING UNLIMITED VISITORS, UNCENSORED MAIL, TRIPS AND STEAK DINNERS.

IN 1969, GOVERNOR JAMES RHODES COMMUTED LICAVOLI'S SENTENCE AND HIS DECISION WAS HEAVILY CRITICIZED.

THEN, ON JANUARY 6, 1972, LICAVOLI WAS GRANTED PAROLE DUE TO POOR HEALTH.

HE LEFT THE OHIO PENITENTIARY AND LIVED WITH HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER IN GAHANA, A SUBURB OF COLUMBUS.

LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, HE DIED OF CANCER.

PETER JOSEPH LICAVOLI, YONNIE'S BROTHER, REPUTED TO BE ONE OF THE FIVE RULING DONS OF THE DETROIT FAMILY OF LA COSA NOSTRA, WAS ARRESTED, TRIED OR SUSPECTED OF MURDER SEVEN TIMES, AND RELEASED SEVEN TIMES.

HE DIED IN 1984.

IN 1972, GOVERNOR GILLIGAN COMMUTED JOSEPH WOP ENGLISH'S SENTENCE FROM FIRST DEGREE MURDER TO SECOND DEGREE MURDER, MAKING HIM ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE WHICH WAS GRANTED FEBRUARY 8, 1973.

WITH NO RECOMMENDATION OF MERCY, FIRETOP WAS SCHEDULED TO DIE IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR, BUT WITH PETITIONS SIGNED BY TOLEDO RESIDENTS ON HIS BEHALF, GOVERNOR MARTIN DAVEY COMMUTED FIRETOP'S SENTENCE TO LIFE IN PRISON AND HE WAS EVENTUALLY GRANTED PAROLE JULY 9, 1965.

JOHN MIRABELLA, LICAVOLI'S HITMAN, AND RUSSELL SYRACUSE, THE GETAWAY DRIVER, BOTH DISAPPEARED AFTER THE 1934 INDICTMENTS.

EVENTUALLY, RALPH CARSELLO, ERNEST LASALLE AND JOHNNY RAI WERE GRANTED PAROLE.

LEO LIPS MOCERI, ZENA'S BROTHER, SERVED FIVE YEARS IN THE OHIO PENITENTIARY.

HE LATER DISAPPEARED AND WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED BY AN ALLIANCE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE CLEVELAND RACKETS.

AFTER RIDDING TOLEDO OF THE INFAMOUS LICAVOLI GANG, FRAZIER REAMS AND HIS STAFF WOULD MOLD THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS.

KNOWN AS AN INDEPENDENT, BUT A BRILLIANT POLITICAL MAVERICK, REAMS SERVED TWO TERMS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND, ALWAYS BELIEVING IN THE INTERESTS OF TOLEDO, WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING DIRECTORS OF TOLEDO'S PORT AUTHORITY.

AND, AUDREY RALLS THE 19-YEAR OLD BEAUTY QUEEN FILED A LAWSUIT FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT CLAIMING SHE WAS IN JAIL AGAINST HER WILL AND THAT SHE HAD SUFFERED MENTAL PAIN AND ANGUISH.

AFTER THE TRIALS AND WINNING HER LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF TOLEDO, AUDREY QUIETLY LEFT AND RECORDS SHOW THAT SHE AND HER MOTHER CLAIRE MOVED TO HOUSTON, TEXAS.

AUDREY, OR MARY AS SHE ALSO WENT BY, DIED SEPTEMBER 5, 1982, OF A HEART ATTACK.

SHE AND CLAIRE ARE BOTH BURIED AT FOREST PARK WESTHEIMER CEMETERY IN HOUSTON.

MANY TOLEDOANS BELIEVE SHE HADN'T DIVULGED EVERYTHING SHE KNEW ABOUT JACK KENNEDY'S MURDER AND THAT SHE HAD HELPED SET HIM UP... WE MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON JULY 7, 1933, AND WHETHER JACK KENNEDY WAS SET UP.

BUT, WE DO KNOW THAT ONCE YONNIE LICAVOLI AND HIS GANG WENT TO PRISON, WELL, TOLEDO COULD BREATHE AGAIN.

PEOPLE DIDN T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND GETTING CAUGHT IN GANG CROSSFIRE.

AND, SHOP OWNERS, THEY WEREN T FORCED TO PAY MONEY THEY COULDN T AFFORD FOR PROTECTION.

SO, THANKS TO FRAZIER REAMS AND HIS TEAM AND A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE IN TOLEDO, THE LICAVOLI REIGN OF TERROR HAD ENDED.

THE DEPRESSION STILL HUNG HEAVY, BUT PROHIBITION HAD BEEN REPEALED ON DECEMBER 5, 1933.

THAT'S JUST ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER JACK WAS MURDERED.

BEER AND LIQUOR, WELL, THEY WERE ALL LEGAL AGAIN AND GAMBLING CAME BACK.

BUT, THAT S A WHOLE OTHER STORY (MUSIC)
