He banged on it loudly. A face came to the peephole. “Whaddya want?” The director answered calmly. “I’m Eliot Ness. And I’m coming in.” Resistance melted away, the doors opened and the raid went off without incident.
So, who was Eliot Ness? Just the former U.S. Justice Department agent who worked from 1929 to 1932 to help crush the gangland empire of Chicago’s “Scarface” Al Capone, America’s most infamous racketeer.

He also served as chairman of the board of directors of Diebold Safe & Lock Co. from June 5, 1944, to April 2, 1951.

In 1936 in a Cleveland, Ohio, suburb, a group of local constables stood bewildered outside a notorious, mob-run casino called The Harvard Club. They were armed with a search warrant, looking for several wanted fugitives believed hiding inside. But a steely voice from behind a barred door had called out and warned the police to keep their distance. “Stay where you are.
