Campbell conferred at Washing, ton recently with James W. Bennett, director of federal prisons. He said Bennett had visited Alcatraz and had talked with Capone. “Capone is suffering from paresis.” Campbell said. "The physii ians who have been treating him report that he is normal only three weeks out of four. He is rational

most of the time hut has mental lapses and during these lapses he is a dangerous man—too dangerous to be released. H' 1 said acure for Capone might require a year or even two years more and that the government prefers t.i keep him at Alcatraz be--1 ause the most modem methods of Heating paresis are available there. He said Capone had expressed a desire to be transferred from Alcatruz and that government officials may consider the request because they believe his hatred for the prison might interfere with his recovery. A conference, in which members of the Capone family might participate, will be held at I.os Angeles next week to decide on a program, Campbell said. I understand from the department of justice that three plans are being considered," he said. "One would require Capone to serve his full time at Alcatraz, under the second he would be placed in the Los Angeles detention jail for treatment, and under the third he would be removed to the government hospital for criminals at Springfield. Mo.” He said Judge Wilkerson's choice of the Cook county jail was not binding and that under the law the term can be served in a jail designated by the attorney general. It cannot be served in a federal prison without the consent of the prisoner but it was pointed out that the government can force Capone to any decision necessary simply by refusing to let him have maximum time off for good behavior. Capone, besides his prison sentences. owes approximately $56,000 in fines assessed in connection with his income tax evasion. He can avoid payment of the tines

by declaring himself a pauper and ! serving 30 days additional in Jail. From Campbell's statements, it would appear that the possibility of Capone resuming his position as king of Chicago’s underworld, if and when he is freed, had disappeared. In addition, the lush money days of the prohibition era —his illicit beer once sold for $1 a bottle—have gone. Federal and local officials believe ho is neither physically nor entally capable of his one-time leadership and that he will retire quietly to a farm reportedly purchased for him near Hobart, Ind. 0 FILE CONTEMPT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ings taken during the last three years by Mr. Teeters, as commissioner of drainage in the Wabash ditch case, are null and void. He continued in his six-page answer: “That in answer to the order for Homer Teeters as the superintendent of construction In said cause, to fire and to discharge the affiant herein as attorney for said superintendent, said affiant hereinalleges and says, that he is ready and willing to be fired and discharged from such serve. To be . attorney for such an officer is a disgrace and blot upon any reputable attorney. The stench, stink and lothsome mire into which the said Teeters will sink himself if! permitted to continue as such officer will rank and stink worse than the six causes in the Jay circuit court of which he is Holding a similar office.” “Affiant further says, that as attorney in the William Fennig et al ex parte, drainage proceedings that he has legal fees now due and allowed, in the approximate sum ot $1,700, which are long past due and unpaid, and that he cannot be , legally discharged until he has been paid the money and fees due.” AMERICAN MEDICAL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) only method to resolve issues raised in the situation.
