Al Capone's brother was a western two gun marshall

I couldn't believe it. Checked it out on Wikipedia. Al's older brother
ran off and joined the circus. Then joined the army and became a
lieutenant. Went out west and was a local lawman in Norman Oklahoma.

Amazing.

1. On a related issue, my brother used to tend Al Capone's grave and every

Friday his wife would come to visit and he would be sure to have the headstone especially shiny and nice and she would tip him $1.00. She would come in a big black limo and he said she was very nice.

2. Interesting,

I got interested in the Al Capone story when at a dinner a few nights
ago, a woman I know mentioned that her father had played poker with Al.
Her father and his family was in the booze trade back in the day.

She mentioned her uncle was killed by a rival of the group. I asked her
for family story's about Capone and her only comment was that he was
a "'nice guy'..of course, my family was dependent on him for its jobs'"
