CAPONE SAYS HE’S THROUGH WITH GANGDOM’ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | throughout the world, but the man found perspiring in this dingy retreat somehow did not fit into the generally accepted picture. Neither did the ancient, weather beaten hostelery which he long had made his headquarters. “The racket business is not what it is cracked up to be," sighed the; portly gangster. Capone, who weighs well over 200 pounds, was bothered by the' heat and admitted he was "nervous at the prospect of several years in prison. Time after time ’ he mopped his face and slightly l bald head with a towel. “I'm ready to take my medicine," ( lie said. “I realize that the charges are just. That's why I pleaded I guilty. The officials performed | their duties honestly and efficient-: I ly. If the government thinks itl jean clean up Chicago by sending: I me to jail, well and good. I "But when I come out. things | I will be different. I'll miss the I world's fair —(and I always wanted! jto see one too), hut I'll lie paying' my debt to society and when it s ■ paid I'm coming ont to start all i over, raise my boy right, and make | my family proud f me. I'm ready to go now anytime, I'll pay my own ; way if it will get me there any i (quicker. The sooner in, the soon- j , er out. I “In prison I’ll have time to deIcide what I'm going to do afterward. It will be something con-j nected with finances. Whatever it I is. you can het it will be honest I and legitimate. Ten years ago 1[ came here from Brooklyn intend ! | ing to make an honest living. If I I didn't do it then. I will now.” ■ Capone, whose income from beer, 'liquor and vice had been estimated in the millions of dollars and who has been accused of directing the murders of more titan 300 men in Chicago's liquor wars, denied he I had done all the things of which| , lie had been accused. “In my heart I'm not what people | lthink or read about me.' 'he said.! i' The best proof that I didn't eumI mit tlie crimes they say I did is that when the government got me they didn't find me in jail. If I bad done them, that's where I would 1 have been. I have always talked against wanton murder. I never liked it. After all, I have a conscience like anybody else." The gangster said he positively i would not accept any of the many (offers he had received to write his | history or sell ideas for gangdom I moving pictures. "The offers I've got are ridiculi ous," he said. "Honest, tiiey run over $2,000,000. But I've got trouble enough of my own without trying to do any writing, except—.” He stopped there and glanced at a sheet of paper in a typewriter. A few. words in Italian were on the paper. "Just a farewell note," explained Capone ,as he mopped his perspiring brow again. There was much speculation before Capone went into court as to what sentence would be imposed ! upon “the worst criminal of all . time.” The general opinion was he would be fined several thousand ! dollars and imprisoned for about three years. He was liable to fines of sßb,ooo and sentences totaling 32 years under the charges to [which he pleaded guilty.
