Even though the rest of the nation looked upon the likes of Al Capone and Lucky Luciano as murderous brutes, while they were in Hot Springs these mobsters not only behaved themselves, they actually earned a reputation for being nice people.
Was it the hot water that brought about this transformation? Or was it simply the shock of being out of their native environment? Perhaps Hire-a-Thug Incorporated did not function as far south as Hot Springs and they felt naked and timid.
I like to think it was the instinctive knowledge we all have that being nice brings better results. Being nice doesn't work nearly as fast of course, but then a habit of heavy tipping usually overcame that handicap. Look at it this way, they were being thrust into treatments they did not understand and did not know what to expect.
Were they being pounded too hard? They wouldn't know, and asking a third party would feel like being a sissy. Were they being steamed to hot? Maybe everyone turned cherry red in the steam cabinets.
When some unknown dude is shooting at you with a fire hose gushing with hot water he can do almost as much damage to your eye as Machine Gun Kelly. You want him to think you are as nice as dear little Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks.
Like the other the tourists in Hot Springs seeking treatment,
they didn't know, they weren't sure. Some of those treatments didn't make
sense to start with, but if "Old Doc Boiler" says you need to be doused with
radioactive radon for five minutes a day to cure your acne even a hard-boiled
gangster will be sitting in there in the dark hole and watching the clock
because staying in too long could be hazardous to your health.
So, being nice is a self defense mechanism all of us use occasionally to secure more favorable treatment from our parents, bosses, and captors. It is understandable if gangsters use it too. They used it so well that it fooled the Hot Springs Police. "Hey, these guys aren't breaking the law down here," was one policeman's retort to the FBI's request for assistance in corralling a few better-known gangsters.
