The Gusenberg brothers were two of the Chicago Northside gangs top guns. Pete was the elder and had a record dating back to 1902. Frank followed in his big brothers foot steps with an arrest in 1909. More recently they had nearly killed Capone shooter "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn in a phone booth and succeeded in killing Capone friend Pasqualino Lolordo ---a house call none-the-less---, on January 8, 1929.

I always imagined Peter Gusenberg looked more like George Segal.
This is an early mugshot. By 1929 they were dead ringers.
