“To hell with them Sicilians!”

It was just an off-hand comment – a remark that was usually delivered with a smirk. Dean O’Banion and his North Siders were quick to say it. They didn’t care. The South Side mob, run by John Torrio and Al Capone, were tolerated – they weren’t pals. They were business associates and if it wasn’t for the money they made for O’Banion and his crew, they’d have nothing to do with them at all.

So, “to hell with them Sicilians” became a remark that often passed between them with a laugh. Other people, though, didn’t find it so funny. To a Sicilian, it was a deadly insult – a quip that would eventually mark a man for death.

And that man, of course, was O’Banion himself. And as brash and confident as he was, he never saw it coming.
