    My great uncle was not "technically" a member of the Midwest mob, but he did associate with gangsters. His name was Kenneth Allen Kitts. He was primarily a bank rober, and at one point was on the FBI's most wanted list. He served time on Alcatraz because he was an escape risk. As far as I know, he never killed or hurt anyone during the comission of his crimes, but Midwest organized crime was a very real thing, and there were some very dangerous people. Love this channel.

    I live in Oklahoma, but I am from Illinois. I spent about 20 years in Western Illinois. Turns out, the area where Capone and company would go to relax, and got some of the hooch. An old fellow told me, "It is hard too see those guys as criminals when they would show up with a turkey, a basket of fruit and presents for the children."

    My Japanese teacher came to the United States to get a master's degree in library science at the University of Chicago. It was a great opportunity, but the only thing she had knew about Chicago before moving from Japan was its association with Al Capone and other gangsters. She told us that when she traveled in Chicago, she was always on the lookout for mobsters in pinstripe suits and fedoras carrying tommy guns.

      My roomate at University was from Japan. When we met for the first time and I told him I was from Chicago he said ,"Ahh... Al Capone" and then he swept the room with his fingers saying ratatatatatt. That was in '76.
      Today he probably would have said Michael Jordan.
      Ironically, I didn't know much about it at the time but I found out later that my grandfather was very close to the big fella.

    My first job as a lawyer was working for a man named Henry Wade. Yes, that Henry Wade, prosecutor for Dallas County. The man who prosecuted Jack Ruby. As a baby prosecutor, one day I was astounded to see a case on my docket for a defendant charged with moonshine production. I pulled his record and found that he had at least 50 prior convictions for the same offense. Each was settled with a $100 fine. Time and again. So it was that the moonshiner made his money off illegal liquor, and Henry Wade got to continuously claim that he was tough on illegal liquor manufacturing! Ain’t history funny.

    My grandfather was the mayor of MYLAND and with his adopted brother ran a laundry in Rock Island during these years! There were stories of Al Capone’s men being around the railroad tracks. My grandfather told of one night when he and his pals were playing poker in the laundry when all of a sudden--two of the huge fans that ventilated the laundry dropped out of the wall. My grandfather had rented space to some “business men”. The space shared a wall with the laundry. Naturally when the fans dropped out of the walls my grandfather and his friends went to see what happened-- when they looked through the hole--they found a shop for stolen cars that were being repainted while using the big fans to dry the paint! My grandfather looked at his friends and they all quietly turned around, went back down stars and agreed to say nothing! The next morning--the fans were back in place! He kept quiet until the 1950’s and 1960’s after all the “renters” from the shop where the cars were being repainted were died! His name was Waldo R. Seidel.

    True stories: By random chance I was aquainted with Al Capone's great nephew, Charles Capone, when he ran an auto repair shop in Moscow, Idaho. He is now in prison for crimes.
    I moved to the Chicagoland area and while visiting a nursing home I randomly met a 101 year old woman who claimed have been one of Al Capone's secretaries when she was young.
    I'm still in the Chicagoland area so I don't have to go far to see the houses and buildings where Al Capone lived and did his criminal activity.
    Oddly enough, of random meetings, when I was in Moscow, Idaho I randomly met and briefly dated a woman with the last name of James who claimed to be a descendant of the infamous outlaw Jesse James. I believe she believed she was telling the truth because she was reluctant to tell me at first and she was not proud of her relation to him.

    Minnesota had its own mob called Kid Cann, lead by Isadore Blumenfeld. My family was related to and affiliated with the gang as plumbers, supplying all the copper pipes and other components of the stills used (all stolen from for sale houses). They also drove cars modified and fitted with hidden booze drums. My father said his uncles also drove for the gang at times and were always surprised when the cops would completely miss the latch on the bottom of the seat during inspections.

    My grandfather in his younger years had a side gig in Detroit of fixing juke boxes. His side-side gig was fixing illegal slot machines for the mob. His name appears in a news article, although spelled incorrectly, about there were some slot machines found in the back office of a local business whose owner swears he didn't know they were there.
    Detroit mobs were huge in rum running during prohibition given it's position of being less than 1,500 feet from the border of Canada. They brought it over the ice during the winter and in boats the rest of the year. After prohibition was over, gambling became bigger, hence the slot machines.

They didn't know each other, and there's no evidence that they ever crossed paths at sea, but it could have been interesting if they had.

    There are several books written about George Remus. Where I grew up, there was an old man who was a Shoe Cobbler. He was 1 of 2 men who collected the money from Alcohol business in several drug stores Remus owned in Cincinnati. He purchased 8 distilleries and leased 4 more. When he purchased the Fleischman distillery, he also purchase their home in Price Hill.
    In the mid-1970's I would go fishing with an old man, known as "Old Dutch", who was this shoe cobbler. We both lived in a small town east of Cincinnati. Many times I would listen to Old Dutch stories about him working for George Remus. There were two parties George & Imogene had in the Price Hill House. The Christmas party was for 50 distinguished couples in Cincinnati. The first was a Christmas party. Diamond ear rings and bracelets for gifts for the women and diamond cuff links and tie pins for the men. The second party six months later was for Imogen's birthday party. Today's Huxley building in Mt. Adams overlooking the city is where they used to built Cadillac cars. George gave 50 Cadillac cars to the 50 couples. Old Dutch said George had $500,000. cash at the Price Hill home. This money was never found that supposedly held by Imogene and her former FBI agent turned lover of Imogene. Never knew heard or read there was 40 million earned in a 2 year period, but the biggest story was where did the $ 500,000. cash end up.

    I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1950's and early 1960's. Cleveland was well known for its "Gangland: activities. Through several round about ways My family and I knew several people in the "Northern" Ohio crime families, ( you never knew for sure if someone with an Italian name was a mobster) which included Akron. I guess that that area should be included here. I have seen at least one documentary about Cleveland's mobster history and it's just as bad as anywhere else.

    I believe I suggested to you the original Shelton/Birger episode. I am from Wayne County. The Sheltons were legends there. They were not mentioned fondly such as Capone in Chicago. They were some country roughnecks who capitalized on the sins of the era. Carl was the brains of the operation. Growing up, I knew many people who had worked for the Sheltons or was acquainted with them. Yes, it is well known that Charles "Blackie" Harris ensured their demise. He had been cheated in a land dispute by the Sheltons. If Buster Wharton was involved, no one said. The rumors were it was the Chicago mob. I have been to the exact spot where Carl was killed. The pearl handled revolver found under his body is in a private collection. I have seen it.

What is it about alcohol that gives it this immunity through time and it's acceptance?

    It would appear that the 1920s were a bad time in America for everybody between the Oklahoma murders of the Indians and the little Egypt and all the rest he hasn't reported on yet. It was just a dangerous time to be alive

    6:13 Nobody can force a man to catch a falling body that jumps at him. But is it a natural reaction of men to do so when a woman does this? Please do a history episode of such instances and document how many times they let a woman fall to the ground. This would be fascinating!
