Yes. Maniaci says Capone was made and promoted to capodecina, just as Gentile did. While Gentile knew Capone personally along with many other 1920s Chicago members, Maniaci knew ex-Chicago members in Milwaukee who were part of these events.
Also Bonanno implies Capone was made after Giuseppe Morello's death, at which point Capone sent gunmen to help Masseria in NYC. Bonanno doesn't say "made", but something like Capone became part of "our world" (the Sicilians) or something to that effect. Capone was likely made a couple of years earlier though, Gentile placing it around 1928.
