Mysterious Al Capone Prison Telegram PHOTO US Attorney Snitch 5x7 Jail Message

Description: 5x7 glossy reprinted photo of the mysterious Al Capone Telegram that few have ever even heard of! Read below!Back story: Al Capone loses his court battle on tax evasion when Judge Wilkerson imposes sentences totaling 11 years on the various tax evasion counts, with fines of $50,000 and court costs of $30,000. But interestingly, Capone was put in Cook County Jail, where he had a private, over-sized cell with his own shower. He freely made phone calls and sent telegrams, drank whiskey, and entertained visiting gangsters "Lucky" Luciano and "Dutch" Schultz. Not exactly doing “hard time”!Shortly after reports of this favoritism hit the newspapers, an anonymous sender claiming to be on the inside, sent telegrams to authorities and prosecutors of the Capone tax case stating that Capone was being treated with special privileges while incarcerated at the jail. The telegram you see in the photo shows it was sent anonymously to the US Attorney, George E. Q. Johnson, the prosecutor who put Capone away on those tax evasion charges! Just 5 months later, after an investigation by the FBI, Capone was moved to the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Pick up this cool item to add to your gangster collection.
