People have asked me to post some pictures of me when I was younger. Here are two pictures. The first is a baby picture of me with a cross around my neck that was Al Capone's baby cross. This picture he had in his home. The second picture is the one that was taken after I told our children their heritage. They are related to Alphonse Gabriel Capone. I was 35.

I have not posted anything in a long time. I guess it is because I am getting old and tired. I came upon some quotes from my uncle Al Capone that I will share with you today.

On his gambling habit: "I've lost a million and a half on the horses and dice in the last two years. And the funny part is, I still like 'em, and if someone handed me another million I'd put it right in th nose of some horse that looked good to me."

After reading a biography: "I'll have to hand it to Napoleon as the world's greatest racketeer. But I could have wised him up on some things. (His trouble was a swelled head; Elba should have been a warning.) But he was just like the rest of us. He didn't know when to quit and had to get back in the racket. He simply put himself on the spot."

Prohibition Prescription

The 18th amendment to the United States Constitution was passed in 1919 which prohibited the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol. It did not prohibit the owning or consumption of alcohol. People were able to get their alcohol from the local pharmacy with a doctor's prescription. If the pharmacy would run out of their monthly supply, they would go to a local supplier who would make the alcohol out of wood alcohol which caused people to go blind among other problems. The government decided that the 18th amendment was to difficult to enforce so the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution was passed ending Prohibition in the United States in 1933. On that date my uncle Al Capone was in prison for doing things that were now legal. There is much more to this story that will come later.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement as I work to give the truth about my uncle Al Capone and the entire Capone Family. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays. My wish for 2018 is success and fulfillment.

Al Capone sits in prison as Prohibition ends.

On this date in 1933, Prohibition ended in the United States while my uncle Al Capone and his brother, my grandfather Ralph Capone, sat in prison serving time for income tax evasion. BTW in 1991 the American Bar Association retried my uncle for income tax evasion, using a real judge and jury, plus all of the evidence from the first trial. and he was found 'Not Guilty' on all counts. The income tax farce was purely political. If my family was still running the outfit on this date, they would have been awarded by the government and be given a license to run the first legal liquor distribution company in America.

Al Capone is my uncle and also my Godfather.

On November 15, 1939 my uncle Al Capone was released from Federal Prison and returned to Chicago. My grandfather Ralph, Al's older brother and business partner, arranged for a big 'coming home' party. Of course my father and mother were there, my mother due to give birth to me in January, my uncle Al was to be my Godfather. My mother told me that everyone there saw that Al was not acting in a normal fashion. He would go up to his sister and ask "Who are you?" Then he would go up to another person asking the same question. Then he went back to his sister, my
aunt Maffie, and ask the same question again, "Who are you?" My grandfather knew he needed some help. He called around and found a doctor in Baltimore. My family the next day took him to Baltimore where a doctor diagnosed that he was given drugs in prison that they claimed would treat his syphilis. My uncle was given injections of mercury in the Federal Prison hospital on Terminal Island. The hospital immediately began treating him by leaching the poisons out of his system. He was still in the hospital when I was baptized. In my book you will see copies of the telegrams that Al and his mother sent to my parents. His son stood in for him but in reality my uncle Al Capone is also my Godfather.
