1910s in organized crime

It was through the Five Points gang that Al Capone came to the attention of brutal New York mobster Frankie Yale.

In 1917, 18-year-old Al Capone went to work for Yale at the Harvard Inn as a bartender and as a waiter and bouncer when needed.

One day while working at the Harvard Inn, Capone saw a man and woman sitting at a table.

After his initial advances were ignored, Capone went up to the good-looking woman and whispered in her ear, "Honey, you have a nice ass and I mean that as a compliment."

The scars left from this attack led to Capone's nickname of "Scarface," a name he personally hated.
