Summary

[edit]
Description

Roger Touhy was a mob boss who ran bootleg booze on the northwest side of Chicago during Prohibition. He dabbled in kidnapping, labor unions and bank robbery after it was repealed.

Touhy was framed by rival Al Capone for kidnapping John "Jake the Barber" Factor, brother of makeup mogul Max Factor. In 1934 he was convicted and sentenced to 99 years in prison. His lawyers appealed the sentence in 1943 but it wasn't until 1959 that he was finally cleared of the crime and released.

Three weeks later, Touhy was gunned down outside his sister's home, pictured here. He was pronounced dead at St. Anne's Hopital on Dec. 16, 1959 at the age of 61.
