Gentlemen:
A discussion arose recently during a business
matter on, among other things the life of one "Al Capone".
Now I suppose you&#39;ll wonder where Capone would entre into
radio. This had to do with the simple mention of his name
during a broadcast. It you could answer one question I would
appreciate your doing so.
&#39; "How did "Al Capone" get the scar which gradually
brought on the name of "Scar Face?
Thanking you for your time in advance.
I remain
Yours

Dear Sirs,
Q I am writing a term paper on what factors of
ALCgp_o11e&#39;s first eighteen years may or may not have decided on his
later career as one of the United States worst criminals. I have
tried to limit the topic because I know if I ask for information on to
broad of a subject you won&#39;t send me anything. Wpuld you please
send me information on the following: I-low long did Al Capone live
in New York? What were his parents occupation? Did his parents
ever seperate? Did he have any brothers and sisters? If so, how
many? What were their ages compared to his? How well off was
his family financally? What kind of a family life did he have? How
far in school did he get? What were his favorite subjects? Generally,
how did he do in school? Did he have many friends? Did he have
girlfriends? I-low old was he when he commited his first crime?
Could you briey describe how many and what kind, if any, of crimes
he commm-d up to the time he was eighteen?
Any other information you could send about his first
eighteen years would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, ahead oftime for sending me the information as soon as possible.
Sincerely Yours,

Hr. J-Edger Hoover
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington D.C. 
Dear Mr. Hoover: c:f$
I am writing to you for some information on the famoes gangster, Al Capone.
The reason that I am writing on this subject is because I am taking speech in
high school and I am to give a speech to the rest of the class on this subject.
ibis speech is to move m audience and to let them know how I feel about crime
and what this man had to do with it.
The reason that I have chose this subject is because of the things that I hav T Z
heard of the man, and his work. Many of this came from my parents whom lived &#39; &#39;
in Chicago, and from TV and newspapers.
Our teacher asked us to use visual aids and I do not see what I could use
on this subject. I was wondering of you could possibly send me some information
on this man, some or the things that he did and some pictures that would help
me in this speech.
I would need this information by Tuesday the 21 or the 22, of November.
Thank you very much. B é},

You letter eras received on November gist, and
in response to your request, the FBI does not have any photographs
of Al Capone or any publications regarding him available for dis-
tribution. You may wish to refer to "The FBI Story," a book
written by Don Whitehead, which contaim some data relative to
him. You will probably be able to obtain a copy oi it at your local
library.
For your information, Capone was sentenced on
October 24, 1931, for violation of the Federal income tax laws _
which do not come within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI.
He was released from the Federal Correctional Institution,
Terminal Island, Caliiornia, on January 19, 1939, and died on
January 25, 1947, at Palm Island, Miami, Florida.
Enclosed is some literature which I hope you will
nd oi interest.

BORN: January 17, 1.899 in Naples, Italy.
NATIONALITY: Italian.
NICKNAI-E15: Big Al, Scarface. &#39;
His name can also be spelled Alphonse.
The name Alphonse came from the french.
BROTHERS: Ralph "Bottles" Capone
Matt Capone .
Mimi Capone
Sister: Mrs. Mafalda  Capone! Mariote
Couisin: Rocco Fischetti
Capone started his career as a Brooklyn saloon bouncer. I
He learned the bootlegging trade from Frankie Yale-.. -
When Torrio took over "Big Jim" 6olomiso&#39;s spot, Torrio imported Capone
 who was 23 yrs. old at that time! from New forks Five Point gang as his
body guard. A little while later, Tor:-io picked Capone as his chief
enforcer.
In 1923, Capone recieved a franchise for the industrial suburb of Cicero
from J ohnny Torrio.
Between 1925 & 1929, 1+ major attempts were made on Capone&#39;s life.
Early in l925, Hyrnie Weiss, Schemer Drucci, & George L."Bugs" Moran were
the lst men to plot against Capone, while he was allied with the then
powerful Johnny Torrie. Capone was fired upon while driving from his south
side home in his famous armored car. The bullets spattered on the side of the
car & splintered on the bullet proof windows, but left Capone unhurt.
When Torrie retired & left for Italy in 1925, Capone bought &#39;Iorrio&#39;s
business. He had "Greasy Thumb" Guzik as his paymaster & business adviser. &#39;
His stalwarts were Frank Nitti, Paul  aliai Paul Ricca! "The Waiter" DeLucia,
Louis "Little New York" Campagna. _For body guards  lieutenants! were the
Fischetti brothers. Fred "The Brain" Goetz led Capone&#39;s execution squad.
Capone used Cicero as a rest & recreation center for all the Chicago
underworld. His own men walked about openly arsed. Cicero&#39;s mayor, City
Council & police force did Capone&#39;s bidding. _
Once when mad, Capone kicked the Mayor of Cicero down the steps of the City
Hall & kicked him when he tried to rise. Op another occasion, Capone had a
recalcitrant councilman bludgeoned in the midst of a council meeting.
Late in 1925, the same group of men attempted a 2nd time on Capone&#39;s life,
but fortunately Capone was not in the car & the chauffer met his doom.
A short time later, Moran sent ll cars of gunmen over to Capone&#39;s head-
quarters  the Lexington Hotel! with machine guns. They fired but no-one was
hurt. Once Weiss also sent men over to Capone&#39;s headquarters but they. were
surprized by Capone&#39;s guards & fled without firing a shot. -

The nth attempt on Capone&#39;s life came from within his own ranks. Louis
"I-iops" Volpi called a meeting of 7 _other Capone guards 8: told them Capone &#39;
was spending their money. The plot was to put Ralph Sheldozrin th&#39;e kings
chair, but Capone&#39;s more loyal friends heard of it & Volpi was turned out
of office at driven out of town. Capone was making $l,25C,% yearh it his
aids only recieved $300. to $500. per week. .
Capone slept in a room with the_ windows & doors protected by bars & metal
sheeting. In front oi his room there were 2 other smaller rooms for his
body guards, 2 guards to each room. Capone kept 2 pistols under his pillow;
When he ate, his food was carefully testes & tasted by his faithful brother,
Mimi Capone, who was a_ good chef. I-Iimi prepared op, of Capone&#39;s meals &
nothing reached AL&#39;s&#39; lips without first being tested by Mimi. Capone was as
wary of poison as oi bullet-as v = 2
Capone sat in the front seat of his car, &#39;it was at 7 ton, armored bullet
proof, Cadillac limosene, It was equipped with gun racks & 2 bodyguards,
usually Louis Campagni & Willie Zenie, 2 other cars carrying bodyguards
accompanied B8-pone, l ahead 81 the other behind. Capone had 200 gangsters
in his organization. a , _ &#39;
Capone&#39;s power extended from the Municipal Government in the city-& most of -
it&#39;s suburbs, to the Municipal & state courts. . &#39; &#39;
l . _, 92
During the horse. racing season in 1925,-Capone lost if-12,000 on the horses.
In 1926, Capone shot at killed Attorney William H. McSwiggin& 2 of his
companions with a machine gun while on a raid&#39;in Cicero. - &#39; &#39;_. ~| . -
In 1927, Capone&#39;s gang collected $60,000,000 from bootlegging. I

On February lo, 1929, Capone imported gunmen from_Detroit & had them lci.l_&#39;!. 6
of I-1oran&#39;s men by_ the -use of machine guns & sawed off shotguns, It was so
bloody that they called it the "St. Valentine&#39;s Day Massacre". Capone was in
Miami, Florida, at the time of the massacre, He recieved a long distance &#39;
phone call from Chicago 20 minutes after the massacre. Who made the call is
still unlc:own.- . »

Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota & South Dakota. &#39;
On May 1, 1931, a drive for Capone&#39;s capture, in Chicago, led by detective
Pat Roche, was ordered by the Mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak. They raided
the Lexington Hotel  Capone&#39;s.headquarters! & confiscated $30,000 worth of

evasion. William F. Waugh, 1 of Capone&#39;s attorney&#39;s said he would ask Capone
