Dominic Cappizzi
Was a Gangster
Who believed
In evening the Score

Took from the Rich
And gave to the Poor

His Paramour
About the Author
It is this writer's opinion that the average person who buys a Novel cares little or nothing about the person who wrote the novel in the first place. However, it has been said, " That each of us is the sum of all our experiences." ; and this is undoubtedly true of writers as well as readers. This writer was born in central Texas way back in the previous century. Texas in those days was still the Frontier. Of course, changes had been made where it was not quite as lawless as in the earlier days.But this writer did live during the Enactment ,and implementation, or attempted implementation of the Prohibition Act that led to the rise of the Gangsters. This irrational venture into legislating Morality came up short as was to be expected.The Shrill Fanatic group of old 'Biddies',who instigated this Act in the first place, were totaling lacking in an understanding of basic Human Nature. They were very religious bigots who if they had read the story of Adam & Eve would have known that to ensure that someone will do something, just forbid them from doing it in the first place. In one way or another this Act led to the writing of this book. J. Edgar Hoover's G-men making swiss cheeses of guys like John Dillinger; Pretty Boy Floyd and others of like ilk left a lasting impression on this writer from when he was a boy. In Texas justice was administered in the Judge Roy Bean style, Judge Roy was known as the Law West of the Pecos (river).Judge Roy was a no nonsense kind of guy who shot first and asked questions later.
