Northside Raleigh...
[ Man Narrating ] In the year 1871...
- [ Alarms Blaring ]...
...the great fire nearly destroyed Chicago.
But out of the ashes of that catastrophe
rose a new Chicago...
...a city ofbrick and brawn,
concrete and guts...
...with a short history of violence
beating in its pulse.
That history is on record, and the record
is kept by the newspapermen...
...who have made Chicago's papers great.
No period in Chicago's history
was more violent...
...than the years of Prohibition.
The rise and fall
of the bootlegging empires...
...was written in blood and bullets.
In 1932, there were 365 murders
committed in Chicago--...
...one for each day of the year.
Eight policemen were shot down
in the line of duty.
One of the most ruthless
of these murders...
...occurred on December 9, 1932,
on South Ashland Avenue...
...in a place operated
by a woman named Wanda Skutnik.
Wanda Skutnik's store
in the Polish district...
