At the time Capone came to Chicago (ca. 1919) Guzik was Torrio's right hand man and chief political fixer. Torrio put Capone under him and the two became inseperable. The only man Capone killed with his own hand in Chcago was Joe Howard, who had slapped Guzik around. Guzik and Ricca ran the Outfit after Capone went to prison, and he and Accardo were joined at the hip later.
