COOK COUNTY - CHICAGO ... JAMES DE AMATO was a CAPONE enforcer. He was sent to
NEW YORK to investigate why so many trucks of booze were being hijacked. Actually FRANKIE YALE was selling to CAPONE then hijacking his own trucks and selling the loads again. Basically he was doubling his money at CAPONE'S expense. YALE killed DE AMATO and was hit by CAPONE a year later. source PAGE 90, DEATH IN THE FAMILY BY VINCENT LOUIS VERRA (1976)
HARDIN COUNTY - CAVE-IN-ROCK ... some of the famous outlaws who used it were SAMUEL MASON, JIM WILSON, BIG AND LITTLE HARPE, DUFF, STURDEVANT, COLIN, PERRIN, BROWN and many others. Hardly a local has not sneaked a detector into this cave but few have sought the money hidden during the flood years ago when the townsfolk headed for high ground and hid their money.
