Hymie Weiss
Henry Earl J. Wojciechowski, also known as Hymie Weiss (January 25, 1898 – October 11, 1926), was an American mob boss who became a leader of the Prohibition-era North Side Gang and a bitter rival of Al Capone. He was known as 'the only man Al Capone feared'.〔Iorizzo, L. (2003) Al Capone: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies). p.42. United States: Greenwood Publishing Group Inc.〕
==Early years==
Born Henry Earl J. Wojciechowski in present-day Poland, he grew up on the North Side with his Polish-American family.〔(Hymie Weiss ). My Al Capone Museum〕 He was nicknamed "Hymie" and "Hymie the Pole",〔 later in his career. He was Catholic, despite the "Jewish-sounding" moniker (he carried a rosary and a bible).〔http://www.myalcaponemuseum.com/id89.htm〕 As a teenager, Weiss became a petty criminal. After he upset a fragrance shelf during a botched burglary as a youth, police dubbed him 'The Perfume Burglar'. He befriended an Irish-American teen named Dean O'Banion. With Weiss and George "Bugs" Moran, O'Banion established the North Side Gang, a criminal organization that eventually controlled bootlegging and other illicit activities in the northern part of Chicago.
