At the time Capone had three main bodyguards.First one was Phil D'andrea,who was a constant companion of Al and was the oldest of the rest of the two bodyguards.Second was Frankie Rio, who besides being a bodyguard, he was also a hitman.And the third youngest one was Jack McGurn who was also considered as a hitman.So i highly doubt that at the time young Accardo was sitting at the same table with Capone.Tony mostly worked as a chauffeur,lookout guy and as an enforcer
