Let''s be clear about murders Capone committed personally vs. those he ordered or that occurred under him after he became boss of the outfit:

John Kobler, author of an excellent Capone bio, says he killed two men in Brooklyn and almost beat to death a "White Hand" Irish gang member. With the cops after him for the murders, and the Irish gangster seeking revenge, he moved to Chicago in 1919 or 1920. The only man he killed in Chicago with his own hands was Joe Howard, who had slapped around Capone's pal and mentor Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik.

Laurence Bergreen, author of a later Capone bio, says he killed one man in Brooklyn, Tony Perotta, who owed $1,500 to Capone's boss, Frankie Yale. He says nothing about a second Brooklyn murder, or about the White Handers. He agrees about the Joe Howard murder.

Both authors say that Capone baseball-batted Scalese, Anselmi and Joe (Hop Toad, not Head) Giunta. But they were still breathing after he got done. Kobler says Capone's bodyguards finished them off; Bergreen credits Tony Accardo with dispatching them.

My friend read Al Capone Beers Wars . Al Capone killed many men in Chicago . I say he killed 12 men at least in his life time And maybe one woman in New York . I study and read plenty from good Sources who was there and who study many Archives police Records and Papers of that Time

It's also possible Capone or Yale shot Big Jim Colosimo in 1920 around that time Capone settled in Chicago working for Torrio.

Reports say a heavy set man and Al capon Height 5 feet ten . Shot him so I say Al Capone Hit Him . @ Hollander Get the Book Al Capone the Beer Wars . Good Infor and photos

Bergreen says Yale killed Colosimo.

@ Turnbull yeah in the Book Al Capone Beers Wars . It Says it Might be Yale Who Whacked Him . Al Capone Or Yale Whacked Him

Get This Book plenty of Good Info And Photos

Capone was involved in a shootout in a bar when visiting New York 1925ish I believe. Think one guy was killed.

Ricky just a little advice....don’t base all you believe off one book. There are a million books on Capone and rarely do they say the same things in them. I’ve read one that said he never even met Big Jim and another that said he was Big Jim’s bookkeeper.

I Read Plenty of Books And That a Good one So Read This One you Will Enjoy

I agree Ricky, Capone was still a young guy in the roaring twenties, he would do the shootings himself when he could. Chicago was crazy you had a dozen gangs competing over beer lol.

@ Hollander it Sure was a Crazy Time then lol And Yeah Al Capone Whacked Plenty with his Own Hand
