The True Story Of Scarface

Capone Had Bodyguards & Traveled Mostly At Night

After Capone moved to Chicago to work under gangster Johnny Torrio, he started earning a reputation in the criminal underworld. He refused to carry any weapons because he wanted everyone to know his status as a man in charge. Instead, he made sure he was accompanied by two bodyguards everywhere he went. These men also sat on either side of Capone when he traveled by car. Capone preferred to travel at night and only went out during the day when it was necessary. Before long, he became the manager of Torrio’s headquarters, the Four Deuces, a speakeasy, whorehouse and gambling establishment.
