The
two
Capone
men
were
bound
hand
and
foot
and
small
bath
towels
were
stuffed
into
their
mouths
to
keep
them
from
crying
out
.
Then
Brasi
took
an
ax
from
its
place
against
the
wall
and
started
hacking
at
one
of
the
Capone
men
.
He
chopped
the
man
's
feet
off
,
then
the
legs
at
the
knees
,
then
the
thighs
where
they
joined
the
torso
.
Brasi
was
an
extremely
powerfull
man
but
it
took
him
many
swings
to
accomplish
his
purpose
.
By
that
time
of
course
the
victim
had
given
up
the
ghost
and
the
floor
of
the
warehouse
was
slippery
with
the
hacked
fragments
of
his
flesh
and
the
gouting
of
his
blood
.
When
Brasi
turned
to
his
second
victim
he
found
further
effort
unnecessary
.
The
second
Capone
gunman
out
of
sheer
terror
had
,
impossibly
,
swallowed
the
bath
towel
in
his
mouth
and
suffocated
.
The
bath
towel
was
found
in
the
man
's
stomach
when
the
police
performed
their
autopsy
to
determine
the
cause
of
death
.
A
few
days
later
in
Chicago
the
Capones
received
a
message
from
Vito
Corleone
.
It
was
to
this
effect
:
"
You
know
now
how
I
deal
with
enemies
.
Why
does
a
Neapolitan
interfere
in
a
quarrel
between
two
Sicilians
?
If
you
wish
me
to
consider
you
as
a
friend
I
owe
you
a
service
which
I
will
pay
on
demand
.
A
man
like
yourself
must
know
how
much
more
profitable
it
is
to
have
a
friend
who
,
instead
of
calling
on
you
for
help
,
takes
care
of
his
own
affairs
and
stands
ever
ready
to
help
you
in
some
future
time
of
trouble
.
If
you
do
not
wish
my
friendship
,
so
be
it
.
But
then
I
must
tell
you
that
the
climate
in
this
city
is
damp
;
unhealthy
for
Neapolitans
,
and
you
are
advised
never
to
visit
it
.
"
The
arrogance
of
this
letter
was
a
calculated
one
.
The
Don
held
the
Capones
in
small
esteem
as
stupid
,
obvious
cutthroats
.
His
intelligence
informed
him
that
Capone
had
forfeited
all
political
influence
because
of
his
public
arrogance
and
the
flaunting
of
his
criminal
wealth
.
The
Don
knew
,
in
fact
was
positive
,
that
without
political
influence
,
without
the
camouflage
of
society
,
Capone
's
world
,
and
others
like
it
,
could
be
easily
destroyed
.
He
knew
Capone
was
on
the
path
to
destruction
.
He
also
knew
that
Capone
's
influence
did
not
extend
beyond
the
boundaries
of
Chicago
,
terrible
and
all-pervading
as
that
influence
there
might
be
.
The
tactic
was
successful
.
Not
so
much
because
of
its
ferocity
but
because
of
the
chilling
swiftness
,
the
quickness
of
the
Don
's
reaction
.
If
his
intelligence
was
so
good
,
any
further
moves
would
be
fraught
with
danger
.
It
was
better
,
far
wiser
,
to
accept
the
offer
of
friendship
with
its
implied
payoff
.
The
Capones
,
sent
back
word
that
they
would
not
interfere
.
The
odds
were
now
equal
.
And
Vito
Corleone
had
earned
an
enormous
amount
of
"
respect
"
throughout
the
United
States
underworld
with
his
humiliation
of
the
Capones
.
For
six
months
he
out-generaled
Maranzano
.
He
raided
the
crap
games
under
that
man
's
protection
,
located
his
biggest
policy
banker
in
Harlem
and
had
him
relieved
of
a
day
's
play
not
only
in
money
but
in
records
.
He
engaged
his
enemies
on
all
fronts
.
Even
in
the
garment
centers
he
sent
Clemenza
and
his
men
to
fight
on
the
side
of
the
unionists
against
the
enforcers
on
the
payroll
of
Maranzano
and
the
owners
of
the
dress
firms
.
And
on
all
fronts
his
superior
intelligence
and
organization
made
him
the
victor
.
Clemenza
's
jolly
ferocity
,
which
Corleone
employed
judiciously
,
also
helped
turn
the
tide
of
battle
.
And
then
Don
Corleone
sent
the
held-back
reserve
of
the
Tessio
regime
after
Maranzano
himself
.
By
this
time
Maranzano
had
dispatched
emissaries
suing
for
a
peace
.
Vito
Corleone
refused
to
see
them
,
put
them
off
on
one
pretext
or
another
.
The
Maranzano
soldiers
were
deserting
their
leader
,
not
wishing
to
die
in
a
losing
cause
.
Bookmakers
and
shylocks
were
paying
the
Corleone
organization
their
protection
money
.
The
war
was
all
but
over
.
And
then
finally
on
New
Year
's
Eve
of
1933
.
Tessio
got
inside
the
defenses
of
Maranzano
himself
.
The
Maranzano
lieutenants
were
anxious
for
a
deal
and
agreed
to
lead
their
chief
to
the
slaughter
.
