St. Louis history

[edit]

Found a new article in the Post-Dispatch that implies that O'Hare was involved with St. Louis bootleggers long before he moved to Chicago and met Capone. They apparently siphoned off Jack Daniels whiskey and were tried in a federal court in Indiana in 1925. O'Hare was one of the guys found guilty in the conspiracy, but he later was granted a new trial and the indictment was dismissed before he was re-tried.

How, exactly, is the poem copyrighted TWICE? Pretty sure that can't happen... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.48.57 (talk) 02:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the inclusion of the poem and of Eddie "getting tired of dealing with thugs", is more or less a reprint of the glurge that goes around about the father and son. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.164.183.2 (talk) 19:29, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Son at Annapolis

[edit]

The article implies the son went to Annapolis in 1927:

"Divorced from his wife Selma in 1927, O'Hare moved to Chicago. Selma stayed in St. Louis with her two daughters Patricia and Marilyn, while Butch went to the U. S. Naval Academy."

Butch was approximately 13 at the time. He didn't actually enter the Naval Academy until 6 years later, in 1933, according to his Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.243.1.164 (talk) 15:38, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage

[edit]

This article states the following:

"Several months after O'Hare was gunned down, Frank Nitti, Capone's second in command, married Ursula Sue Granata, O'Hare's fiancée." However, in Frank Nitti's Wiki there is no mention of him ever being married to Ms. Granata

[Nitti millions gone] has nothing about this either, but it shows that Nitto/i married O'Hare's former secretary about 3 years later. Anmccaff (talk) 03:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
