CAPONE MAY FACE
GUN-T0T|NG TRIAL
WiIkerson Hints of Contempt
Charge if Gangster Knew
D'Andrea Had Pistol.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. october 22.-The Federal
Government, which already has con-
victed Alphonse Capone, the gang
leader, on two charges, had another
avenue of possible prosecution opened
to it today.
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson
asked whether the gangster knew his
bodyguard, Philip D'Andrea, carried
loaded pistol into the courtroom dur
ing the Capone income tax trial, and
pointed out Capone could be cited for
contempt of court If he had such
knowledge.
The point was raised as D'Andreas
counsel obtained another continuance
on his contempt of court hearing.
Without issuing any definite orders,
Judge Wilkerson made it plain that he
thought Capone's connection with his
gun-toting friend should be investigated.
IF the defendant Capone needs
guards to accompany him to the court
room, he should be in custody of the
United States marshal" said the court.
us there evidence that the defendant
Capone had knowledge of D'Andrea's
being armed?"
Assistant United States District At
torney Jacob I. Gresham said that in
his answer to the contempt of court
citation, D'Andrea stated he acted as
guard for Capone at the latters solicit
tation."
D'Andrea's attorney, Joseph R. Roach,
said his client accompanied the gang
chief not officially, but in a friendly
manner"
"He claimed he had been a bailif In
a municipal court" Roach said. and
the defendant Capone had received
many threatening letters from cranks
and, therefore. asked D'Andrea to ac-
company him.
With Capones possible culpability
still in the air, DAndrea was taken
back to Jail where he has been since
October 10, the day he was found car
rying a loaded pistol while sitting be-
hind Capone in the income tax trial
His case is to come up again next
TUESDAY.
Capone has already been sentenced
to six months by Judge Wilkerson on
one contempt of court charge for not
answering a grand jury summons. He
is expected to be sentenced tomorrow
on his conviction for violating income
tax laws. He has been indicted and
probably will be tried soon on charge

Authorization from Washington, D.
c., expected today, alone was needed to
set the Government tax collectors busy
seizing Capone's property.
Robert E. Nicely, acting collector OF

he may possess to his $135 suits, may
be seized after tax liens are obtained

but the Government is expected to seek
collection of about 100000.
The prosecutors have announced they
will begin a legal battle tomorrow to
have Capone sent Immediately to Leav-
enworth Penitentiary. His attorneys
have said they would appeal the con-
viction.

dictated to by any group or

boxing and has no right to talk
about the reputation Of the sport

The boxing commissions mes
sage stated:

to avoid in your negotiations

LOOKSGOOD,
SAYSENGEL
By JOE HOLMAN

While the Washington club was
playing a series in Chicago about
mid-season of last year President
Clark Griffith, who was accom-
panying the team on its swing
westward, received the following
telegram:
"Terms offered for Pitcher
Lefty Griffith by Scout Joe
Engel okay. Please confirm"
The Old Fox could not decide
whether someone was kidding him
or not. But, since the message
was signed by a Joplin club OF
ficial of the Western Association
he wired his answer:
"ApprOve any deal made by
Engel. Will stand by his Offer"
Just a Rookie
At the time Lefty Griffith, to
President Clark, was just another
rookie. In fact, he couldn't under
stand why Engel, then in quest of
an outfielder, should waste his
time uncovering other talent.
When Joe reported from his
scouting tour empty handed sew
eral weeks later the first ques.
ton his boss popped was:
''Who's this left-hander you
sold us? What's he got and
why worry with him?"
Smilingly Joe replied:
"He's q kid pitcher with
plenty Of steam, good control
and a sure-fire prospect. Don't
be surprised if he reports to
you and sticks next year."
Not until Western Association
averages were released recently
however, could Griffith get a real
line on his rookie. They showed
him plenty.
Wins 21
Young Griffith last season won
81 games and lost 13. He proved
himself the Western Association
"iron man" by working 284 in
nings and recorded the most
StrikeoutS, 245.
Impressed by these perform

Baltimore Orioles don't ask too
much for his service.
The Old Fox said today:
"I'm determined to land a

drive a deal that lands us a
ready-made star, all the better.
"Otherwise, may look

Ruth's Ambition

There will be many ball play
ers among the Yankees who
will be working hard to give
New York and Mccarthy a
pennant, all hands knowing
that the big town will have
little to do with nonwinnerS.
Among these will be Babe
Ruth, the $80,00O-aryear hired
hand, who is now taking a
course of training in a Gotham
gymnasium so he will be well
along the road to playing form
when he reports at st. Peters
burg few weeks hence.
Ruth has a secret ambition
to be in 10 world series, and he
has only one to go to realize it.
He played in three with Bos-
ton and six with the Yankees.
So the Babe will be out there
with the other McCarthyiteS
this year, bending every effort
toward the YankS' seventh pen
nant and his own tenth.

McCarthys PlGtOfrOn,

Joe Mccarthy came out of
his snowbank in Buffalo long
enough to lay down a few
simple rules for the Yankee
ball players. Joe isn't a slave
driver, but he doesn't want

He wants baseball, not golf,
pinochle, poker or ukelele play
erS.
Two practices per day will
be his program and only q
light lunch of milk and sand
wiches-served at the ball park.
No unseemly running around
at nights for the Yankees and
Mccarthy doesn't mean maybe.
Says Joe:
"I'm not q tough man to get
along with if the boys play
ball, keep up their pepper and
give me the best they've got.
But never have stood for
any fOOIishneSS and I'm too old
to start now.

enough to take care of him.
