Anybody can post more information on him? Did such a gangster exist at all or is it just a legend? The only "Diamond Jim" I found is this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Jim_Brady And he is "Brady", not "Grady" and died before Capone even became a boss. Here in another article an author says the Al Capone connection to Moose Jaw is just a myth started in the 70s http://www.travelmindset.com/story/moose-jaw?page=1 What do you think? Have I just wasted my money on a book full of unverified information? Have you read it? http://www.amazon.com/Mobsters-Rumrunner...7331&sr=1-1 Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo: 1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down." 2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
