Mobster - Big Jim Colosimo

James "Big Jim" Colosimo (born Giacomo Colosimo) was an Italian-American mob crime boss who built a criminal empire in Chicago based on prostitution, gambling, and racketeering. Immigrating from Italy at the end og the 19th century, he gained power through petty crime and the heading of a chain of brothels. From about 1902 until his death in 1920, he would lead a gang that would be known after his death as the Chicago Outfit . Johnny Torrio, an enforcer Colosimo imported in 1909 from New York, seized control after his death. It was alleged that Al Capone, a Torrio henchman, was directly involved in the murder.
