al capone

Al Capone: Born in New York City to parents Gabriel and Teresa Capone, Alphonse was blessed with a historical blend of ruthless gangster in his blood. As a child, Al Capone was very wise when it came to living on the streets of New York. He had a clever and somewhat ingenious mind when it came to street smarts. If the act of plotting a crime was in question, Al Capone was as sharp as …

…his early whorehouse days. Later that year, Al Capone was judged insane and was released to the care of his family. During this same period of time, gunmen in Chicago sought out Edward J. O'Hare and shot him to death in his car. In January 1947 Capone had a massive brain hemorrhage and died. His body was removed from his estate in Florida and transferred back to the scene of his underworld triumph – Chicago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
