Butch O'Hare

[ian maclure]

Got an e.message this morning from an acquaintance.
Consisted of two stories.
The first episode was concerning one Easy Eddie, for many years
Alphonse J Capone's lawyer. Fall from grace, repentance, redemption/
martyrdom.
The second episode concerned Butch O'Hares MOH fight.
The message connects the two epsiodes by stating that Butch
O'Hare was the son of this Easy Eddie character.
Is this correct?

Butch O'Hare's father was indeed connected with the Chicago mob. That
doesn't excite me enough to determine whether his name was Easy Eddie.

There's a biography of O'Hare from Naval Institute Press that goes
into the family closet in great detail.

Ian,

If the "Easy Eddie' story is the one I think it is it is total bull.
You can probably google some of my older and still relevant comments
on the 'tale'. Better yet do yourself a favor and either purchase
(there by helping the authors) or borrow a copy of John Lundstrom's
and Steve Ewing's "Fateful Rendezvous" (Naval Institute Press).

I was finally able to google on O'Hare ( DNS &%&$#*# ) and
discovered that there is an element of truth to it in that O'Hare
Sr seems to have been the victim of a gangland hit or at
least thats what the on-line bios say.
Whether O'H Sr was actually Capone's lawyer is not clear.
