The story behind the piece
On January 24, 1925, Chicago boss Johnny Torrio was ambushed outside his home by the North Side gang. He survived, but he was finished. Torrio handed his empire to his 26-year-old lieutenant, Al Capone, and left the city.
Capone turned the Outfit into the most famous criminal operation in America: breweries, speakeasies and a payroll that reached into city hall. This commemorative design marks the year Scarface took the throne.
