Photographed in half-length profile as he left the Federal Building in Chicago, Tony Accardo appears here in 1960, when federal authorities were intensifying their pressure on the city's organized crime leaders. Accardo rose through the Chicago Outfit after the era of Al Capone and was widely regarded as its top figure for decades. Pictures taken outside federal buildings like this one reflect how often he was drawn into grand jury proceedings and government inquiries. The image offers a useful glimpse of the period when Chicago's mob leadership and federal law enforcement were in open conflict.
