which enabled the revenue agents to COM
mand the testimony Of any one who was
found ever to have been connected in any
way with a Capone enterprise
Once under oath, these prospects" were
subject to prosecution for perjury If caught in
false testimony. By this slow pressure was
the story pieced out over some eight months.
The job progressed slowly, but very thoroughly.
Not all of the many persons thus examined
told the officers all they knew. But every
one brought in contributed something TO the
chain of evidence. And as often as one could
tell of an actual cash transaction, that much
was added to the income for the year involved.
Altogether more than 900 persons were ex-
amined formally, or interviewed, IN the build
ing of the case.
Naturally, it was not long after this process
of inquiry got under way that the whole
underworld community was alive to the pres
ence of 1.-The Feds" Then it that every
days activity became a new venture in dar-
ing for the Intelligence Unit operatives.
When Wilson once suddenly moved his Chi
cago operating base from one hotel to an
other, he was unable TO inform three OF his
men instantly That night, not knowing of
the shift two Of the revenuers came back
to the old place to report. On Madison street.
half block from the hotel, they spotted two
gangsters, obviously waiting for some one.
Instead Of entering the hotel, the agents
walked past the busy entrance. A few steps
beyond they were hailed by a taxi driver
waiting in line. They recognized the driver
instantly as another Federal operative. He
told them Of the new headquarters location,
handed one Of the pair a match and resumed
his wait for fare.
As the two agents moved on. they were i'm
nediatey covered by two others who thus
escorted them safely to Wilson's new office"
Had the field men turned into the old hotel,
as had been expected, the taxi driver and the
two covering men world have followed inn
naediately
THAT incident is recalled as perhaps the
IL closest approach to a dramatic "bump-off"
in the entire investigation. It was also amaz-
ing evidence Of how well informed Capone's
men were of Wilson's every move. Such were
the difficulties under which the tax men oper-
Ated
How perfectly all the scattered activities OF
the six Federal forces were co-ordinated
through the Washington master plan is indi-
Gated by the fact that the day Capone's in
come tax indictment was returned before Fed
eral Judge Barnes, the prohibition unit sprang
its trap on Capone liquor ring which ex-
tended from Pittsburgh to Iowa and South
Dakota.
These operations centered at Aurora, Ill. IS

Then back in the region where the Prince

of the late Count Henry de Foras of Savoi,
family of French noblemen who have lived
there for many years. The Count Henry died
recently, his sons and daughters carrying on.
At the beginning of the war the loyalty of
this family to both their native land and the
country of their adoption was shown when one
son joined up with the French Cuirassiers two
sons with Canadian regiments and two daugh-
tiers with Canadian nurses serving in France.

Mike Meyers, Davis Meyers and Joseph Dolf
were arrested in Aurora. Within the hour,
Gabriel Paul and Tony Cinquina were arrested
in Chicago distributors. The same after
noon Mike Bloomberg was seized at Clinton,

was explained, "the political situation amt just

when Hitzman told them of having been forced
to pay to get load through Princeton, ILL.,, in
the next county south Of Lee. Meyers told
Hitzman to get the name of the policeman who
dared charge a road tax"
A MAzING evidence Of the close tie-up be-
tween the racketeering operations and the
business of practical precinct politics is found
in the fact that the Chicago roundup which
finally bagged Al Capone, also netted the con-
viction of State Representative Lawrence G.
OBrien of Chicago, in similar tax case. The
