THE DEMISE
The federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone, and prosecuted him in 1931 for tax evasion. He was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. Capone showed signs of neurosyphilis early in his sentence, and became increasingly debilitated before being released after almost eight years of incarceration. On January 25, 1947, he died of cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke
PUBLIC ENEMY
However, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, in which seven gang rivals were murdered in broad daylight, damaged the public images of Chicago and Capone, leading influential citizens to demand government action and newspapers to dub Capone "Public Enemy No. 1".
ROBIN HOOD
Capone expanded the bootlegging business through increasingly violent means, but his mutually profitable relationships with mayor William Hale Thompson and the city's police meant he seemed safe from law enforcement. He made donations to various charities and was viewed by many as "modern-day Robin Hood".
THE BIRTH
Born in New York City in 1899 to Italian immigrant parents. He joined the Five Points Gang as a teenager, and became a bouncer in organized crime premises such as brothels. In his early twenties he moved to Chicago and became a bodyguard and trusted factotum for Johnny Torrio, head of a criminal syndicate that illegally supplied alcohol and was politically protected through the Unione Siciliana. Torrio went into retirement after North Side gunmen almost killed him, handing control to Capone.
