William Hamm, who may have been kidnapped as a warning for holding out on the bootleggers

William Hamm (left) and Jake the Barber Factor. Hamm's mother had died, hence the arm band 

Jake the Barber with a small army of thugs, mostly Capone men, he had hired as protection after his supposed kidnapping. It was great PR for Factor's shaky case that he had been kidnapped and had held out against the Touhy's who planned to kill him in return.

Factor hams it up for the cameras

When Roger Touhy escaped from Stateville prison in 1942, Factor was interviewed by the press and told them he was in fear of his life, although a dead Jake Factor would not have helped Touhy's case in court.  In these photos, Factor hams it up for the reporters, pretending to be too afraid to leave his hotel apartment.
