May 11th, 1920, he assassinated, at the request of John Torrio, Big Jim Colosimo in his restaurant, because this last, then with the head of the Maffia of Chicago, refused the new opportunities (alcohol traffic) presented by its nephew. By intimidating the principal eyewitness, Joe Gabreala, Frankie Yale escaped any judgment. November 10th, 1924, always for the account of John Torrio, it killed Dion O' Banion, another notorious gangster of Chicago.
