CHICAGO, Dec. 9. (AP) Al Oa
pone is coming back next month but
not to the Chicago he left In 1933 to
aerva a ten-year federal prison term
tor Income tax evasion.
The scarfaced Capone, onetime un
disputed fuehrer of Chicago's gang
land empire, la scheduled to leave
Alcatraz In San Francisco bay on
January 10, 1939.
There is, however, a year's sen
tence In Cook county Jail before he
will actually be a free man. Then?
"He'll come out a law abiding
citizen," aver his , attorneys. "He's
taken his punishment like a man,
hasn't he?"
State's Attorney Thomas J. Court
ney's staff decline comment on its In
tentions but Courtney's men have
been very busy the past several
months axing up the bookie gambl
lng houses controlled by "the syn
dicate" and reputedly directed by
some of Al's surviving associates on
the "public enemy" lists of the city,
The group has been little In the
public eyes as Individuals of late and
the gangland slayings which brought
death to 701 men during the 12
years the hoodlums battled over lu
crative bootleg, vice and gambling
territories have sloughed off to n
dozen tills year.
Capone, now 41, was boss of a
puted $ 100,000.000 rackets kingdom
here before the federal government
put the finger on him. When he re
turns he will find the lush money
days of the prohibition era have
disappeared.
The huge profit of llllct breweries
beer once sold at 1 a bottle have
faded into insignificance. The ex
tensive rackets to which the law-
abiding citizen paid unwilling tribute
have largely been stamped out.
Most of the former ganglord's
cronies, trtggermen, and leading
chiefs of staff will be missing, too.
They have been largely decimated by
bullets, natural death and the law.

their car. -
"There might have been stains on
the sacks, but there Is no proof there
was a body In those sacks."

to gpt poseFsion of the automobile:

Jury. .
The Chlcago-to-Pittsburgh Fort
Pitt limited of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was derailed by the
tender of Its seond of two locomo
tives. Two oars overturned and six came
to rest at a crazy angle in a muddy
ditch.
Only three persons required hos
pital treatment. Physicians treated
a score of others for minor injuries.
Most of the 100 persons received a
bad shaking up before the heavy,
Jolting cars came to a stop.
Michael Shaughnessy of Wlllard,
O.. a retired railroader . whose wife
was one of those hospitalized, term
ed the wreck the "worst I've seen."
and said only the steel construction
of the coaches prevented fatalities.
Physicians attributed the lack of
serious injuries to the fact that most
of the 50 pullman and 30 coach oc
cupants were asleep and relaxed as
the train left the track at 3:20 a m
Pillows and bedding protected the
passengers as the cars overturned and
tilted. Passengers said there was no
heavy shock.
The derailment was traced to the
tnder because the two locomotives
remained on the rails, but what
caused it was not determined 1m
mediately.
