In Tax Evasion Casa
Bond Plea Is Refused
CHICAGO. Oct. 24. (AP) Federal
Judge James K. Wllkerson today or
dered that Al Capone bo held at the
county Jail until Monday to permit
his attorneys to seek bond In the
United States circuit court of ap
peals. Judge WUkerson had previously
ordered the gangster taken to Lea
venworth penitentiary Immediately
to start serving his 11-year sen
tence for violating Income tax laws.
Judge Wllkerson, denying defense
motions for ball, for a writ of super
sedeas and for a stay of sentence,
ordered the defendant remanded Im
mediately to the custody of the
V. S. marshal, to be taken to prison.
Defense attorneys asked him to In
struct the marshal not to take Ca
pone to Leavenworth immediately.
The court replied he had no fur
ther instructions to the marshal and
with a gruff, "that's all." walked
out of the courtroom.
Marshal Henry Laubenhelmer took
the gangster to the county Jail and
said his office would follow Its usual
custom and start for Leavenworth
with Capone tonight.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla., Oct. 24.
(AP) Orders for filing a lien for
$51,408 against the palatial winter
home of Al Capone at Palm Island,
near Miami Beach, were Issued to

States collector of internal revenue.

CHICAGO, Oat.-4. (AP) "Scar
face Al" Oapon6l, underworld czar of
Chicago, was sentenced today to 11
years Imprisonment for violating In
come tax laws and ordered taken to
night to start his term In Leaven
worth penitentiary.
Federal Judge James H. Wllkerson
not only passed a sentence more than
twice as severe as had ever been giv
en an Income tax evader before, but
he denied every motion which would
have given the big gangster his free
dom while the caso was appealed.
$150,000 Fines and Cost
In addition to the sentences, 10
years In the Leavenworth prison and
one year In the county Jail, Capone
.was ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and
the costs of prosecution, estimated at
about $100,000.
The court assessed the maximum
possible penalties on the five counts
on which Capone was convicted, but
cut the penalty from the possible
maximum of 17 years by ruling that
reveral terms should run concurrently-
As the gangster, downcast and ap
parently dazed by the sentence, was
led from the courtroom he was hand
ed a demand for taxes and Immedia
tely afterward a Hen on his $40,000
Florida estate and on three safety
deposit boxes In the Equitable Trust
company, a bank on the south side
of Chicago.
Curses Collector
Capone appeared to lunge at Dep
uty Collector of Internal Revenue E.
p. Henthorn as he was served with
the legal papers. His face grew livid
and he cursed. Two deputy marshals
held him.
Last Saturday night, when the Jury
returned Its verdict convicting the
gang leader on five counts and not
guilty on 18, there was some doubt
ns to which side seemed most elated.
But there was no doubt today. Ca
pone. his huge shoulders hunched
forward, was glum. His attorneys
were almost frantic In their efforts
to obtain his freedom pending ap
peal. , .
U. S. District Attorney E. Q. John
son, who directed the prosecution and
asked the Jury In his final plea to
convict "this man who tried to set
himself above the law," smiled broad
ly but refused to comment. It was
the high points of his three-year
drive agclnst Chicago gangsters.

she had nothing to say about the

Agnes Le Rol and Hedvlg Samuelson.
She had rested eight hours since

by her silence In every attempt to
wring a story from her, sent her to
Jail following her arrest in a mortu

"My attorneys ask me not to say
anythlifg," she replied quietly to all
questions when police sent her to
bed.
"I'm only holding on by the barest
thread," she said "I am really sick.
My arm has pained me so I can
scarcely endure it.
."But the police will not let me
rest. I'm not a fugitive from Justice
and I'm not a criminal. I did the
only thing any decent woman could
do. I should not be treated like
this."
