The end of the Bugs Moran vs. Al Capone era. Two years later the Federal Government convicted Capone for tax evasion on his earnings from bootlegging, prostitution, and illegal gambling. He spent time at Alcatraz in Cell 85, and was released due to the progression of his syphilis which eventually led to dementia. It's said that in his final days at his estate in Florida he spoke to visions of his enemies. After his death he was buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetary, surronded by many of his departed rivals of the Northside gang.

Happy Valentine's Day!
