INDICTMENT OF AL CAPONE
LONG INQUIRY BY POLICE. LARGE PERSONAL PROFITS. Chicago, June 12. The indictment against Al Capone for wilful evasion of income tax contains 22 counts. It took 200 officials two years to search out Capone’s activities. The Government has found that his personal profit was £270,000 during the years 1925 to 1929 inclusive, as the head of a huge international syndicate which has enabled millions of Americans to flout the prohibition law. The District Attorney announced that after applying tremendous “heat,” the police persuaded, members of the Capone gang to talk for the purpose of saving themselves.
Several of Capone’s leading lieutenants are serving sentences in prison, and Government agents assert that his nefarious business has been badly shaken.
