Tommy Touhy

In thirty years of research, I've never seen this photo before. That's Tommy Touhy in the wheelchair, brother of Roger Touhy, gangster. It was Tommy who actually formed and ran the Touhy gang. He was fearless and probably insane as well. He had a great fondness for dynamite,Nitroglycerin and machine guns. He's in the wheelchair in some part due to Parkinsons, all the brothers had it, and partially due to machine gun bullets he took to the legs in 1933 in a day light shoot out with a Capone gang mad man named Fur Sammons.Both were armed with machine guns and fired from the running boards of their cars cars. Tommy died in Arizona in the late 1960s under the name Turner.
