In this informative report, read about the different individuals that were working with Al Capone to benefit his criminal enterprises in the areas of dog and horse racing, vice prostitution, bootlegging alcohol and the operation of speakeasies and illicit gambling establishments that were later flipped against Al Capone by federal agents seeking to convict the Chicago Outfit crime gangster of tax evasion. Find out how U.S. Treasury Department Intelligence Unit Special Agent Frank J. Wilson found ledgers that had handwriting indicating that Al Capone was taking income from horse races. Also find out how Frank J. Wilson, who was tasked with busting Al Capone for tax evasion by U.S. President Herbert Hoover, investigated a bank in Cicero, Illinois, to find out that Capone's cashier at the Hawthorne Smoke Shop gambling and horse race establishment was depositing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank and then purchasing cashiers checks to hide Al Capone's income derived from the illicit activities of his criminal enterprise. Learn how U.S. Department of Treasury Special Agent Frank J. Wilson used informants to track down Capone's cashier, who was using a fictitious name at the Cicero Illinois bank. This cashier, who was later used as a witness in Capone's tax evasion trial was preparing to flee from St. Louis, Missouri, to California on orders from Chicago Outfit gangsters Al Capone, Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik and Louis Lipschultz before he could be used by the U.S. Treasury Department to prosecute their income tax evasion case against Chicago Outfit crime boss Al Capone. Before Al Capone was imprisoned for income tax evasion at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in Aug. 1934, the Chicago Outfit crime boss was imprisoned for one year at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia Pennsylvania with his bodyguard Frank Rio after Capone and Rio were both arrested for carrying concealed .38 caliber revolvers that were unlicensed by Philadelphia police detectives outside the Stanley Theater on 19th and Market Streets in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, where they watched a movie on May 17, 1929 while they were waiting to board a train from Philadelphia to Chicago. Read and compare Capone's time spent in harsh conditions at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary for tax evasion from Aug. 22, 1934 to Jan. 6, 1939 with the relatively comfortable luxurious conditions enjoyed by Capone when he was incarcerated at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Eastern State Penitentiary from 1929 to 1930. Crime fighter Eliot Ness and his team of prohibition agents, known as "The Untouchables," working for the U.S. Bureau of Prohibition raided Al Capone's distilleries and breweries with a 10-ton truck that had a snowplow attached to the truck's front bumper and when these agents got inside of the breweries, they destroyed Capone's brewery equipment with blowtorches.
