RACKET LICKED.
SAYS CAPONE

10 to 40 years. The district
attorney, undoubtedly, will be al
lowed to present the entire case
and we cannot defend ourselves.
All we can do is offer mitigating
circumstances, and if anyone
can think of any we'll use them,
too"
Judge WilkerSon, after making
the statement, said it was neceS-
sary to continue the case until
2 p. m. because he had promised
several out-of town lawyers that
he would hear their cases this
morning.
His comment on Attorney
Nash's remarks was:
"If CapOne expects Ieniency
he will have to take the stand
in his own defense and show
wherein he is deserving of
leniency."
Should Capone follow this sug-
geStion, it would be the first time
he ever had taken the witness
stand.
Capone took the judges words
calmly. They failed to remove
the smile with which he entered
the court, bowling affably to all
around him.
As always the gang chieftain
was sartOrialIy reSplendent. He
wore dark green suit, a black
and green necktie, over a white
shirt with fine stripe. A white
linen handkerchief jutted jaun-
tily from his breast pocket.
Above it in his lapel button
hole, was a white carnation. He
wore sport shoes and a white belt
encircled his girth. He chewed
gum rythmically.

CapOne, before entering the
court room, declared that he was

and that upon his release from
prison he will become an honest
business man. He denied that he
was q head of a gang. 1t was

Seventeen Days
Spent in Jail

Now, on Saturdays had chance
to work on the rock cruSher. Well.
that was some swell place to work,
guards standing everywhere with
shot-guns, and I mean that you had
better work too, for it would be too
bad if you did not work to suit them
for they are the worst bunch of brlteS
that 1 have ever seen. have seen
them slap and pick on old men that
could hardly walk and make them
work. They arc the biggest bunch
of towards that I have ever seen,
outside the American Legion. There
were two men that got into q fight
down at the rock crusher and one
of them was reported to the super.
Now we are going to hear something
about a brave man who weights close
to three hundred pounds. While we
were carrying our garbage in at noon
he, called this man out and said,
"come here you big sunabitch." The
man got up and walked to the front.
$50 you want to fight, you big sun
of-a-bitch, do you," so he grabbed
him. by his hair and beat him with
his right hand till he sank to the
floor. Then he backed him up and
threw him down on the floor again
and tramped him with his feet till
he could not move. He then turned
and walked away leaving him on the
floor. The man got up after while
and as he got up on his feet one Of
the brave guards stepped up and took
another punch at him to show the
super that he approved Of his actions.
Now we have all kinds Of men at
this farm. Some with no legs, some
with one leg, some with broken backs,
some blind, some young men, and
some seventy or eighty years old, but
they all work, out in the cold, break
ing rock without gloves to keep their
hands warm. There is a rohse doc
tor that tells the old men and Grip
pies that he knows that they are not
able to work but the farm is not
hospital but workhouse and they
got to work just the same as any
one else.
As to the graft. OF course, there
has got to be some graft. Now, while
I was not working on the farm I
was working for private people dig

we did not the outside for other peo-

Comrades, in, this howl we can sense
the despair created by the complete
zhaustion of that energy which made
it possible for the bourgeoisie to en-
lave and plumber the workers of the
whole world. They see that among
their leaders there are many bold
adventurers, but not a single big or
ganizer, that the numerous dictators
are nevertheless not Napoleons, that
in their middle class world, there are
no organizing ideas, and could not be.
But the organizing idea which en-
velopes you, comrades, is growing,
developing, enfIaming the working
people of the whole world with revo-
Iutionary feeling, impressing the
workers and peasants of ali lands
with the necessity of travelling along
the path marked out by Vladimir
Lenin.
The middle class suburbanites are
respondent and despairing, they are
opposed by the conviction of helpless
ness, and in their midst there is an
ever growing number Of people who
live according to the slogan Of taking
no thought for the morrow. Crime is
increasing, suicides are growing, sex
