Anton became good friends with Al Capone. Many times Capone visited Anton at his restaurant to have a cup of coffee and just shoot the breeze. Anton was last seen alive on Sunday, November 28,1926. That evening, he left with a large sum of cash and rings worth $1,500. On that date, a spectacular September 1926 ambush by Hymie Weiss' and his eight carload machine-gunning caravan raked the facades of the Hawthorne Hotel and Anton's other buildings on the block. January 5, 1927, the body of Theodore Anton was finally found in a shallow grave in Burnham, IL. Anton's body was covered in lime. The killers hoped his body would disintegrate faster. A paper bag filled with quick lime covered his head. The third finger on the right hand had been cut off. This finger was where Anton always wore his flashy diamond ring.
