    It was alleged that a member of the Purple Gang was buried somewhere on the old Northville golf course, at the corner of Seven Mile and Newburgh Roads in Livonia. The course is now a subdivision where a friend of mine lives.

    i'm told a boat house in Cheboygan, Michigan, was used by the Purple Gang; from there they could go to Canada and back in 3 hours, the boathouse is a restaurant now.

    A relative and newsboy that served the purple gang said they were called the purple gang because they were rotten- like rotten meat that has turned purple.

    The Purple Gang was hired by Capone to do the Valentine Day Massacre in Chicago. They also had a golf course on the SW corner of 7 Mile and Newburgh Rd in Livonia. No bodies were ever found when the property was developed.

    They sent Capone's boys back in a hearse with advice to stay out of Michigan and Detroit.
