The decision was amazingly close, however at last Powers won by a minor edge of 435 votes.

history channel documentary Councilman James Bowler, a quick buddy of Powers, told the press, "Shooters are watching the boulevards. Council member Powers' home is protected day and night. Our men have been met, debilitated and slugged. Shooters and cutthroats have been transported in from New York City and Buffalo. It's more terrible than the Middle Ages."

In any case, D'Andrea ended up being a sore washout, and thus, the body include started to heap up the Chicago avenues. Paul Labriola was one of the Italians who had upheld Powers. On March 9, 1921, Angelo Genna, of the ghastly Genna siblings and an associate of D'Andrea, shot Labriola full on openings at the intersection of Halstead and Congress boulevards. On that same day, stogie store proprietor Harry Raimondi, who had changed sides from D'Andrea to Powers, was shot five times in the back, behind the counter of his stogie store.
