After O'Banion was killed in 1924, his partner and successor, Earl "Hymie" Weiss, had two life goals: the destruction of Capone and Torrio to avenge O'Banion, and total domination of Chicago bootlegging and rackets.
Weiss was seemingly without fear, and, if the word can be used to describe what was otherwise criminal behavior, he was also courageous.
During his short life, Weiss was both hunter and hunted, engaging in open gun battles on the streets of Chicago in a two front gang war with the Torrio/Capone outfit and with Torrio's erstwhile allies, the deadly Sicilian Genna brothers.
