Capone was pretty good for alot of entertainers. Like the time he paid
for Joe E Lewis' recovery after Machine Gun McGurn had Lewis' throat
slashed. Of course, Machine Gun was Capone's chief enforcer and the
attack was Machine Gun going off the Capone reservation. Capone didn't
get too bent out of shape over it. I guess Capone got along swell with
most everybody except Bugs Moran and Eliot Ness.
