Book Excerpt:
After several weeks in seclusion by the shores of Round Lake, Capone felt more secure in Lansing, and with the help of the Mastropietros he began to establish ties to the Lansing police force. Although he was wanted for questioning in Chicago, little more than 200 miles distant, the Lansing police conspired to keep his presence a secret, at least from the Illinois authorities. The pivotal figure in this conspiracy of silence was Lansing's chief of police, John O'Brien, whom the world knew as a respected law enforcement officer. For him, the situation was simple; all he had to do to earn the money he accepted was to remain silent. The Mastropietros, for their part, lauded O'Brien's behavior. "John O'Brien came to parties at our house," Grazia Mastropietro says. "He knew Al Capone was in Lansing, but he didn't bother him because Al was our friend. O'Brien was one of those to whom friendship is the first thing, and he protected his friends. For instance, if he had a friend who was a gambler and who was about to be raided, he told the man, and the man got out of town in time. It wasn't corruption to warn a friend, was it?"
Anthony Russo recalled that Al's new ally, Chief O'Brien, "could be tough when he wanted. Boy, he could be tough. But he was always nice to us, of course. We were friends. We were family. He got his little piece out of knowing that Capone was in town. He got a few bucks out of it, just like any other police protection that you get. All he's got to do is keep his mouth shut and keep the police away from the area." But it wasn't quite that simple, for several years later, when Capone no longer had need of his services, O'Brien's profitable arrangement with the racketeer was discovered. "He retired in disgrace," says Grazia. "By that time I was in high school, and my family sent me there to keep him company because he was so depressed. We were all afraid he was going to kill himself. He always liked me so much, and I used to talk to him a lot. He didn't kill himself after all, but his career as policeman was finished."
