| | Al Capone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sometime in the mid-1930s, and at Alcatraz, Capone began showing signs of dementia, probably related to a case of untreated syphilis he had contracted as a young man. He spent the last year of his sentence in the prison hospital, and was released late in 1939. | | | Called James Vincenzo Capone upon entering the United States. | | | Raking in vast amounts of money from illegal gambling, prostitution, and alcohol (some estimates were that between 1925 and 1930 Capone was making $100 million a year), the Chicago kingpin was largely immune to prosecution due to witness intimidation and the bribing of city officials, such as Chicago mayor William "Big Bill" Hale Thompson. |
