I always figured it was given to guys who were close to the admin or someone that brought in truck loads of cash. The importance of being named a capo would be that they didn't have to kick up as big of a cut from their operations.

Joey Adonis? Picasso used to say the was a capo without a crew, but he was succeeded by Jimmy Blue Eyes Alo, and I believe he had a crew that he inherited from Joey A.

I've always read that Alo had "control" of or protected Lansky, if so did he inherit him from Adonis as well?

Jimmy Alo was interviewed by a reporter who published it in the Miami Herald after his death. Alo said that he met Lansky in 1929, before he met Luciano. Lansky is probably the one who introduced Alo to Luciano. Alo described their relationship as friends and partners.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I also remember read in TJ English's book on Cuba that Alo represented Chicago's casino interests on the island. Have you ever seen any connection between Alo and Chicago? This info always seemed odd to me.

He was Lanskys' Sicilain messenger boy.

You mean like Johnny Ola? Does Jimmy Alo eventually get strangled with a coat hanger?

I've always wondered why TJ said that about Alo being Chicago's point man in Cuba, never made any sense to me.
