1923, May 20th, clear skies!
On this day, Atlantic City was adorned with colorful flags and teeming with people as visitors from all over the country filled the city to the brim.
At this time, the busiest naturally were the forces responsible for public order in Atlantic City.
Eli Johnson and John Block led their teams in person, one responsible for the safety within Atlantic City, the other for the security along the route from Atlantic City to the Atlantic City Sports Stadium, which of course included the stadium itself.
Fords, Chryslers, Cadillacs, Buicks, Rolls-Royces, and other vehicles moved slowly and orderly towards the Atlantic City Sports Stadium.
Al Capone sat in a black Cadillac, watching the crowded vehicles around and the police maintaining order, couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
When could he himself achieve such influence in Chicago?
By now, Al Capone had indeed become the de facto number two man in the Chicago Torrio-Capone Group.
