Capone Moved

While California's new Governor was pardoning the country's most famed political prisoner, the country's most famed criminal prisoner last week also obtained a degree of freedom. The family of Gangster Alphonse ("Scarface") Capone paid to the U. S. $37,692.29 on his bill of $50,000 in fines and $7,692.29 court costs for the offense of income tax evasion, for which he has served six years, eight months of a ten-year sentence, since 1934 in rock-grim Alcatraz.

The former overlord of Chicago booze and prostitution was taken some 400 miles from Alcatraz to the Federal correctional prison on Terminal Island, off San Pedro, Calif. There he will be safer from fellow-prisoners' attempts to kill him, and will be treated for paresis, which makes him periodically violent. By good behavior and payment of his $20,000 balance due, he can leave Terminal Island November 19, unless paresis makes it advisable to lock him up for life.
