They brought a brand new Sicilian killer into Chicago to do the "bumping ofr" work for one of the well known gangs, and set him up in business in a fruit stand to cover up his principal activities. When the gang wanted to get rid of someone, they brought the fixed price of $200 cash to this foreigner, which he always demanded and received in advance, and pointed out and located the victim for him. The next morning the job was always neatly tended to, and the killer was smiling at his customers in hisfruit stand.

One day they brought him his $200, told him who they wanted killed, and left it with him.At daylight in the morning the boss of the gang was around to see his killer, wild with anger.

When his rage died down someurhat, the killer yawned behind his hand, stretched himself comfortably, and replied:

"Aw, Tony, whatsamatter you? Whata Hell isa da dif ? I tella you what Ido. De nex'a one you wanta keel, he's ona me, see?"
