The Purple Gang not for the guns, the power trips and hold-ups, not that the cops could get ya, not for all that stuff, the gun molls, the dirty tricks. No, but for the rivalry, the other no-good-robbers who bootlegged and drank and partied too well and dressed in clothes fit for Harry Truman, the haberdashery-conscious purple gang rode roughshod and died, their pretty clothes all bloodied, because, because, they were too damn visible, bragging about exploits that should have been hush-hush.
