Information About

Maurice Enright




Little is known of Maurice Enright's background before his gang's violent and brutal methods managed to dominate Chicago's Labor Unions by the end of the 1900s . During the early 1910s Enright was instrumental in the rise of Johnny Torrio providing invaluble political protection from First Ward vice district Alderman John Coughlin and Michael Kenna . Enright remained in control of the cities labor unions into the early months of Prohibition until his death in 1920, most likely by Al Capone (although Vincent Cosmano was later arrested and eventually acquitted for the murder), shortly before James Colosimo .
