Page "Frankie Yale" Paragraph 6

Conversely, Yale was a violent man who did not hesitate to inflict pain on others.

When angered with his younger brother Angelo, Frankie beat him so badly that his sibling wound up in the hospital.

When two extortionists attempted to shake down the popular hat-check operator of a neighborhood restaurant, Yale battered the two goons unconscious.

In May 1920, Frankie traveled to Chicago and personally killed longtime gang boss Big Jim Colosimo at the behest of Chicago Outfit friends Torrio and Capone.

Colosimo was allegedly murdered because he stood in the way of his gang making huge bootlegging profits in Chicago.

Although suspected by Chicago police, Yale was never officially charged.
