 CONT: SPOILER After being shot by Frank Nitti, Malone has just  enough time to crawl about five to ten meters (16 to 32 ft.). Since  Malone was severely bleeding from numerous gunshot wounds, this  cant have taken much time or he would already be dead, yet Nitti  appears behind Al Capone in the opera house. Unless Malone was  living no more than roughly hundred meters from the opera house  (which does not all seem likely, given the state of the houses in  Racine Street), Nitti cant possibly be in Capones box.
