Sounds like "Big Jim" Colosimo...see my prior comment.
Colosimo was a major early Outfit boss in pre-Prohibition Chicago...about 1920-21 he dumped his longtime (Italian) wife for a young (non-Italian) singer at his restaurant, which outraged many in the Chicago underworld and opened up an opportunity for his longtime second-in-command, Johnny Torrio, to remove him and take his place.
To do the job, Torrio brought in a young man from Five Points, Brooklyn...named Alphonse Capone.
