Introducing the Deadly 7: Sammons, O'Donnell, White, Looney, Diamond, Maddox, and Cain. This week we're diving into seven of our suspects to see what their connections are to Bruce, his union, and his murder.

And, because I love you, here's a cheat sheet for today's episode.

1. James Fur Sammons: Capone gunman, known as a "stir crazy machine gun murderer"

2. Klondike O'Donnell: from the West Side O'Donnell gang to Capone's outfit, possibly murdered Jack "Three Finger" White

3. Jack Three Finger White: Capone gunman, former best friend of Red Barker, murdered by his friends in 1934

4. Marcus Studdy Looney: labor racketeer in coal and excavating industries, known murderer

5. Frank Diamond: Al Capone's brother-in-law, murdered in 1954

6. Claude Screwy Maddox: suspected owner of the Paddock Lounge in Cicero, close with Murray Humphries

7. Daniel Cain: labor racketeer in coal and TNT
