In the face of such obstacles as this, District Attorney Johnson turned to getting pleas of guilty as any other prosecutor would. Out of this, came the agreement for Al Capone, himself, to plead guilty and get a two-year sentence and out of this came Federal Judge Wilkerson's refusal on the ground that "Al Capone can't bargain with a federal court." 1 1 1 1 1 Totals 75,128.67 40.360.43 The city tax holl this year is $73,503.25 as compared with last 7rom, SPRING 1931 Prosecutor Johnson then went to hrTTrtSV v-f fir a cl, 1 13 i 44 HM'0 fj SPRING II Jsk fV 'i952J VOLPE AL CAPONE CST ATTY UOHNSON Al Capone, Chicago's "Public Enemy No.

They trial with Capone and won. Bus in the meantime, there was whispered about the story that Johnson had accepted $75,000 in graft to permit Capone to plead guilty and get a lighter sentence was adroity circulated in Chicago.

Some people may have believed it; others said it was the cold-blooded attempt by gangsters to ruin a public official's reputation to save their own skins. The best answer is that Josnson tried Capone and got him a sentence of not two years, but 11 years in federal penitentiary. And so today Al Capone's gang nears the end of its rope. It is still carrying on in a limited way, but its power is but the shadow of that of yesterday. Al himself, says Johnson is as good as broke.

Though the backbone of the gangs thus appears to be broken, Alexander Jamie, chief investigator for the Secret Six, is authority for the statement that crime in Chicago is actually on the increase. Manslaughter cases now average 20 a month, burglaries 2,000 a month and robberies 1500 a month. Actual murder shows a slight decrease, but kidnapings have numbered 11 since Capone went to jail last October. Economic conditions have brought on the new crime wave not gangsters or the prohibition law says Jamie, and until the depression lifts, there is little hope for used to defy anybody and every. year's roll of $90,328.78.

The city council extended the time for payment of taxes until March 15 without penalty. If a taxpayer is unable to pay by March 15 he can file an affidavit to that effect, thereby extending the time for payment until April 25. Taxes which are not paid by April 25 will be advertised as delinquent and a 25 cent penalty will be levied against each unpaid description. INQUIRY WILL NOT HINDER N. Y.

MARKET Senator Walcott Explains Senate Action BY FRANCIS STEPHENSON Washington, March 2 (JP) Assurance was given today by Senator Walcott, republican, Connecticut, that the prospective stock exchange inquiry was intended in no way to Interfere with the regular operations of the gigantic securities market. As head of a senate banking sub-committee drafting the resolution to authorize the investigation, Walcott is regarded as the probable chairman of the investigating body. It is going to turn its first attention on short sellers. However, bulls as well as bears are going to come into range of the senate's spotlight. Walcott and his committee members Steiwer, republican, Oregon, and Bulkley, democrat, Ohio, were putting the finishing touches on the resolution today and expected to lay it before the whole committee tomorrow.

Senate approval of the investigation then is necessary. "We want to find the abuses leading to excessive inflation as well as NE. Service Writer (Copyright. 1932, by th Press) Chicago, March 2 From behind his prison bars Al Capone today looks upon the wreckage of his vast business of wide-open gambling, bootleg liquor, protected vice and commercialized murder which. In a few short years, raised him from a cheap hoodlum to riches.

Today Capons sees a determined man who Is prsparins t9 smash the last vestige of his gang. That man is United States District Attorney George E- Q. Johnson of Chicago famous as "the man who convicted Al; Capone" and he told of his plans in an exclusive interview today: Within the next 60 days District Attorney johnsan is going to bring to trial C2 of Capone's henchmen now indicted for conspiracy to violate the prohibition law, in which each faces the possibility of a two-year penitentiary sentence and a $10,000 fine. The voluminous indictment charges 5000 separate violations of federal prohibition. Of these 62 defendants, the government is principally Interested in about a dozen.

These are "big shots" like Joe Fusco and Jimmy Delaney in the Capone liquor racket. Most of the rest are merely riff-ran beer truck drivers, strong arm men and brewery workers who were arrested and indicted largely to establish connections in the evidence against the "bis? shots." And how does the Capone gang stand in Chicago today? Like this. Buy federal investigators who know: AL. CAPONE. now held in Cook county jail under a special 24-hour guard of deputy United States marshals a-slgned to break up Capone's reported managing of his bootleg industry from behind the bars.

Capone is under sentence of 11 years in federal penitentiary, plus a $30,000 fine. His appeal from this sentence has been denied by the United States court of appeals and unless Capone's attorneys appeal to the supreme court, District Attorney Johnson Is ready to move for a quick trip to Leavcn-v orth.

They believed that any case could be 'fixed' and they continued to believe this right up to the time United States mar shals led them off to the peniten tiary.

"One by one they have been put away," Johnson said- "Soon, more may Join them behind the bars."
