0:03:04 > 0:03:07- He owned - a substantial area of land...

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- ..and it is on that land - that he is buried.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- It's Jay, I guess?- - Yes, it is.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Did you have trouble - finding the place?

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- It was further than we thought - from Oklahoma City.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- And this is it.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- This is the home itself, is it?

0:03:31 > 0:03:32- This is the home itself, is it?- - Yes, it is.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- This was his haven, - away from the perils of Chicago.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- It was where he could relax.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Murray Humphreys himself - did much of the building work.

0:03:49 > 0:03:54- But he still continued - to build a gangster empire...

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- ..in Chicago and beyond.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- In time, however...

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- ..J Edgar Hoover, - Director of the FBI..

0:04:03 > 0:04:07- ..declared war on the mob leaders.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- The Top Hoodlum Program - was under way.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- At the top of the list - were the most ruthless gangsters...

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- ..one of whom - was Murray Llewelyn Humphreys.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28- The latest technology was used - to compile evidence against him.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Hidden microphones - were placed in all his rooms.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- His conversations were recorded.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37- He was followed everywhere.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- The FBI's - official file on The Hump...

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- ..is comprehensively detailed, - containing hundreds of pages...

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- ..recording his movements - and conversations.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53- But The Hump's guile, coupled - with his knowledge of the law...

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- ..made him a very difficult - and slippery eel to catch.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- He used his legal knowledge - to great effect...

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- ..in the Bartenders' Trial of 1940.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- It was as if he was - encouraging the chief witness...

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- ..who was - testifying against the mob...

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- ..to give his evidence in court.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22- When it came to the final case - and it was time to testify...

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- ..the witness used - the Fifth Amendment...

0:05:25 > 0:05:30- ..which defended gangsters - from giving evidence in court...

0:05:30 > 0:05:34- ..and prohibited the witness - from saying any more.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Consequently, - under the double jeopardy rule...

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- ..which Murray Humphreys had - developed to wipe the slate clean...

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- ..gangsters weren't tried - for the same crimes twice.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51- All kinds of accusations - against them were retracted.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04- It wasn't only in the courtroom - that The Hump used his legal skills.

0:06:04 > 0:06:10- He came to the rescue of Joe - Kennedy, father of John F Kennedy.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14- During the Prohibition, Joe - had been selling illegal liquor...

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- ..on another mob's patch, - which was a deadly crime.

0:06:21 > 0:06:26- If he hadn't sought - the help of Murray Humphreys...

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- ..the Kennedy dynasty's founder - would have been shot...

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- ..in the same way as any - regular gangster would have been.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40- It was only Murray Humphreys who - had the authority within the mob...

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- ..to cancel the contract - on Joe Kennedy's life.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- He was only 30 years old - at the time.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51- What would have happened to America - if Joe Kennedy had been shot?

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- ..as the US Ambassador - to the United Kingdom.

0:07:03 > 0:07:08- Even more remarkable is the way - in which this Irish Catholic...

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- ..succeeded in getting his son - elected as United States president.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20- He wouldn't have succeeded without - the help of Murray and his mob.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- ..without divorcing his first wife.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- This, of course, was bigamy.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Murray Humphreys - and his Chicago mob...

0:07:36 > 0:07:41- ..managed to destroy any record - of his first marriage.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Having sorted out - JFK's marital problems...

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- ..Murray Humphreys - had problems of his own.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Clemi filed for divorce in 1957...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55- ..and he married his mistress, - Jeanne Stacy.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00- At 59 years of age, - The Hump was 25 years her senior.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- But he continued, - as he'd always done...

0:08:04 > 0:08:09- ..to rely on Clemi's knowledge of - his business affairs and her advice.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Although he paid out 60,000 - in a divorce settlement...

0:08:14 > 0:08:18- ..he still turned to Clemi because - she had a photographic memory.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- All Murray's business records - were etched on her memory.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- After Murray married Jeanne Stacy...

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- The winter months - are bitterly cold in Chicago.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42- But here the Hump was able - to enjoy sailing and fishing.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- There were plenty - of criminals here too...

0:08:45 > 0:08:50- ..not that Murray Humphreys - would openly mingle with their sort.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Conveniently located - a short distance from Miami...

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- With the aid of a walking stick...

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- ..and dressed in an old coat, - a patch covering one eye...

0:09:35 > 0:09:41- ..he muttered unintelligibly - as if he were a senile old man.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- This was all an act, of course.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- He left the court, threw his stick - to one side, his hat to the other...

0:09:49 > 0:09:53- ..and went through the bars of - Chicago, celebrating with friends.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- The case was thrown out of court.

0:09:55 > 0:10:01- A senile old man couldn't be behind - the mob's exploits in Chicago.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- The truth is, his health - had started to deteriorate.

0:10:07 > 0:10:12- Being hounded by the authorities - for years had taken its toll.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- The FBI's methods - of tapping his conversations...

0:10:16 > 0:10:20- ..and monitoring his business - affairs became more effective.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- He can be heard gasping - in one taped conversation.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- "They're right on our heels.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Was that the ultimate price - the Kennedys had to pay...

0:14:43 > 0:14:45- ..by the death of JFK.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- He had already suffered - three heart attacks.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58- There is a secret FBI recording - in which he says...

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- ..as this is where - his ancestors were born.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- He said, "Can I have a look - around the house?"

0:16:06 > 0:16:10- The house in those days - was a little bit derelict.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- He walked around - for an hour and a half...

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- He was polite, a really nice man...

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- ..and gave my father's workman - five pounds...

0:16:58 > 0:17:02- I realized when we brought her - to the studios...

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- ..that she was - clutching a bag tightly.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- I'd call it a flight bag.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- A black one about this size.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- We went in - and began watching the film.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- The present owners haven't yet got - to grips with overgrown gardens...

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- The FBI failed to see - the funny side.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Even here, - he couldn't escape his past.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- During May 1965 in Chicago...

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- ..he was called before - the Federal Grand Jury...

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Murray Humphreys's body - had been embalmed...

0:21:39 > 0:21:41- ..which made it difficult - for medics...

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- However the coroner was certain...
