Oh, great! Love this paragraph from the story at your link:

This man's name is Stanley. He used to be a janitor but has been on disability for 15 years. Now he does odd jobs and good deeds in his neighborhood.

"Something should be done, yes, to straighten it out," Stanley said.

He has the same kind of hat that gangster Joe Lombardo sometimes wears and rides a bicycle like "The Clown". But Stanley is torn between laughter and tears over this Tribune mistake because he's not an outfit boss.

"If he's a big time criminal, I'm Mahatma Gandhi," said one of Stanely's [sic] friends.

This is not the only photo the Trib got wrong. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0504270017apr27,1,4739014.story?coll=chi-news-hed
The mobster arrested was Frank Calabrese Jr. The Trib publishes the photo of Frank Calabrese, a major horse owner in the Chicago area.
