Llewellyn 'Murray' Humphreys operated on a philosophy of discretion and political manipulation, far from the violent street wars of his peers. He served as the Chicago Outfit's primary 'fixer,' leveraging connections to sway judges, union officials, and politicians. His polished appearance in fine camel hair coats—the source of his nickname—granted him access to elite circles where deals were made. This strategy proved vital in maintaining control during Al Capone's imprisonment for tax evasion.
