AL CAPONE IS
 SNARLINC WITH
 TRIAL NEARING
Bullet Headed Gangster Fears Army of Govern ment's Legal Experts May Jail Him
BY RAY BLACK

Chicago, Oct. 6.-(UP).-Al Capone was at bay to-day at last.
 Confronting him was the Uni ted States government, determined to make him pay for a regime of ill-gotten millions and gang terror ism. The battle ground is the Uni ted States district court where the swarthy leader of the pack goes to trial on income tax, evasion charges.
 The venire from which 12 men will be chosen to judge him has been narrowed from 100 to 62. The governments legal experts, the pick of its Washington and Chi cago staffs, were ready for a fight without quarter.
 From the Lexington hotel, Capone headquarters, where a last minute conference between the moon-faced. bullet-headed gang chief and his attorneys was held, came word that Michael Ahern and Albet Fink: the lawyers, were equally confident of freeing their client.
 But Capone's smirk, it was learned, had changed to a snarl. As his day of judgment came, fear of the fate that may be in store for him made him snappish.
 A cordon of police, 40 in all. were spaced through the corridors of

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-06

A 22-year old youth, Sidney Applebaum, a former resident of Waterbury, drew a thirty days jail sentence in local police court this morning on the charge of obtain- ling money under false pretenses. The youth with a companion from West Haven came to Waterbury and wishing to attend a dance Tn style hired a car and paid for 1t with a rubber check. The t"bound back" resulted in his arrest. II was intimated in court this morn ing that unless restitution is made several other charges may be filed , against the young man before he completes his sentence in New Ha- ven.
 Applebaum resides at 147 Leete street, West Haven. He gave his occupation as clerk and explained that his duties are more of a care taker, supervising an estate.
 Ernest Sathery of 23 Jefferson street was the complaining witness. Through his counsel Appiebaum at first entered nolo contendre and heard Sathery testify that on hir- ing one of those drive-yourself ma chimes he paid for the rental with a $10 check and obtained $3 in cash in return. The check was made out to a New Haven bank and was returned with the state ment no account.
 A continuance of one day was at first granted to permit the state to subpoena another witness, an em- ploye of the garage, who actually took the check and turned it over to Sathery. -..s -.s
 Applbeaum exlpained that he and another youth came to Water- bury and on deciding to rent car discovered that they had not suf- ficien funds available, so one of them suggested posting a check as a deposit. After having made a

the federal building. Detectives and deputy marshals were posted at strategic places and throughout the building.
 No one was allowed to loiter in the corridors. Even those admitted to the courtroom, mostly witnesses and newspapermen, were warned to remain seated.
 The charge against Capone is that he defrauded the United States of $215.OO0 in tax on an income of $1,038,654 for the six years, 1924 to 1929. The maximum penalty on conviction is 32 years in prison and $80,00O fine.
 Back of the maze of statistcis on which the charges are based, of course, lies the whole morass of the type of commercialized crime that sCapone has Haunted in the face of the city and the nation for some 10 years. The chatter of chips in Cicero gambling halls, the jangle of pianos in suburban vice resorts, the gurgle of foaming beer in loop speakeasies, the roar of bomgs and the crackle of machine guns in the streets are overtones for the testimony dealing in dollars and cents.
