Hymie ultimately proved himself one of Capone's most dangerous enemies (rumored to have been the only man Big Al was truly afraid of). On September 20, 1926, Weiss led a group of sedans past Capone's headquarters, the Hawthorne Hotel in Cicero. The North Siders raked the entire block with submachine gun fire in an attempt to wipe out Capone. One of the cars stopped, and a man in brown overalls got out (said to be Peter Gusenberg) and emptied his tommy gun into the cafe where Capone was cowering. Capone was unharmed but there was allot of damage and he was in serious danger. Capone first wanted a truce with the North Siders but Hymie wouldn't have anything of that. So Capone made his move.
