I knew Fred Barker, John Dillinger, J Edgar Hoover, Klondike O'Donnell, Frank Nitti, and taught Charles Manson how to play the guitar.

It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

I recognize Isadore "Kid Cann" Blumenfeld and the one and only Alvin Karpis, dean of the Alcatraz School of Hard Knocks. Don't know the Boston guy.
The photo you posted earlier of James (King of the Bombers) Belcastro appeared in John Kobler's outstanding biography, "Capone," and is identified as such.

turnbull,
I have him as Klondike O'Donnell.
You're correct about Karpis and Kid Cann.

Here we have the leaders of the Northside Gang: Dion O'Banion, Chicago's favorite florist (with characteristic flower in his lapel), and his successor, Hymie (the Polack) Weiss. How come you didn't include George (Bugs) Moran?
Your source for the Belcastro photo is wrong in identifying him as Klondike O'Donnell. Go to this source and you will see Klondike as the first photo alongside "Gang Leaders":

Hope the download image works. Anyway, it's been said that this is a photo of Salvatore Maranzano, but it's not. Hint: He had several brothers involved in prostitution in London before the Krays.

Sorry, the link didn't work, so I am trying the download method. Anyway, here is the famous photo of someone said to be Maranzano but who was actually an English gangster. Let's see if anyone can identify who he really was.

Maybe the Maranzano picture is actually the guy who sent Maranzano to the US?
