CAPONE’S NEW HOME
Taken to Island Prison NEW YORK, August 20. An Atlanta message states that Al Capone was one of 43 Federal prisoners transferred from the penitentiary there to the new penitentiary on Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Bay, which is specially designed to house the nation’s most dangerous felons. The former gangster and racketeer is serving a long sentence for tax-eva-sion. The prisoners were removed secretly on Saturday night, two heavilyguarded railway carriages being used for the trans-continental journey.
