Last week in Chicago, Attorney General Mitchell's subordinates obtained another notable conviction-that of fat little Jack Guzick, Scarface Capone's "treasurer" and business brains.

...increased, reorganized. In all racket-ridden cities investigators are plodding away at gangsters' bank-accounts and records. A special agent is in Chicago coordinating the work of Prohibition, Narcotics and Industrial Alcohol Bureaus, the Immigration, Coast Guard and Customs Services.

...Aiello and other Grade A gangsters, only eight minor figures were rounded up by police during the past fortnight. They were: Terrence ("Terrible Terry") Druggan, ill in a hospital; Danny Stanton, jailed because his gun was said to prove ballistically that he had shot swart Jack Zuta; Caponeman Jack Guzick, first arrested by Federal agents for income-tax evasion; James (''Fur") Sammons, robber, killer, ex-convict; Edward ("Spike") O'Donnell, Capone beer salesman; ("Dago") Lawrence Mangano, west side gambling-house keeper; George ("Red") Barker and William ("Three-fingered Jack") White, both agents of the coal teamsters union...
