Roger Touhy was a Prohibtion era gangster, a rival of Al Capone in Chicago. It was said that Scarface feared Touhy more than any of his enemies. In 1934 Touhy was sentenced to a long term for the kidnapping of a Polish/Russian thug named Jake Factor. His sentenced was reversed on one occasion before being overturned by another judge.
