Angelo Tarallo 37, was a booze kingpin of southern Wisconsin. From Kenosha, where he was known as "The Immune" (because of his ability to thwart the law) Tarallo operated a number of stills. The largest, capable of churning out 75,000 gallons of mash and another, 3800 gallons of alcohol, had been raided just the prior week.
Though immune to the law, Tarallo wasn't immune to the bullets of rival gangsters and on this date back in 1932, he got his while speeding along highway 2 between the Illinois towns of Oregon and Byron.
A witness stated that Tarallo's car went whipping past him followed by another, moment's later Tarallo's car flew into a ditch and wrecked. The rear of the car was pockmarked with bullet holes and the rear window had been shot out. The speedometer had been locked at 90mph. Like his car, Tarallo was also spattered with bullets having been hit a reported twenty-two times in his head and shoulders.
