They didn't...The Untouchables was a book written Oscar Fraley w/ Elliot Ness which lavishly embellished his (Ness) role in bringing Capone down. Ness had a big ego & probably wanted to make some money . The real person (s) that brought down Capone were Elmer Irey (Treasury agent) and George E. Q. Johnson (U.S. Attorney).
