 The information came from one of a handful of Chicagoans in pos session of the real story behind the governments successful effort to put the gang leader behind bars. His status was such that he could speak with authority regarding the Capone income tax investigation.

Entered Prison May 4, l932; Fallen Gang Lead
 CT Suffers From Paresis

Washington, November 16. - (UP) - Al Capone, once the overiord of Chicago's prohibition gangs, was whisked across the country in secret and released today from the Federal Govern ment's new model prison at Lewisburg, Pa. Capone, who used to pay large sums for loud silk underwear, was dressed today in a cheap suit which the Federal Government gives to released criminals. It was con- sidered unlikely that he received the sl0 usually given criminals to start life anew.
 Broken in health and tortured by mental alterations produced by paresis, Capone was turned over to relatives and accompanied by three Federal officials when he left Fed- eral custody after serving years, 6 months, and IS days, of an li-years sentence for income tax evasion.
 Officials would not discuss ca. pone's mental condition. They said that the public interest required that this information as well as other details be withheld for the present. They promised more in- formation early next week.
 But Capone was not handcuffel ] as the train sped across the country from Los Angeles, where the party left Sunday, to Harrisburg. where they arrived early today and motored to Lewisburg for the formal release.
 Didn't Worry
 Prisons Bureau Director James v. Bennett said his men did not have to worry about him."
 Capone's destination was unknown. but he was accompanied by his relatives and Dr. George Hess, chief medical officer of the Las Angeles Correctional Institution; Warden Henry c. Hill of the Lewisburg Prison; and another man, presum-

 London, Nov. l6.-(UP)-The seizure of almost 500O00 tons of goods by the allied contraband con- trol since the start of the war was reported today simultaneously with the appearance of the 1889 edition of Jane's fighting ships disclosing that Germany has, at most, only 84 submarines. including those under construction.
 Both disclosures were heartening to the Allies, especially now that the war seemed to have settled down to one of commerce raiding and starvation.
 The London Daily Mail added the encouraging report that the first shipments of warplanes for the Al- lies already had left the United States, including California.

The two prisoners, Floyd Edwards
and Kirby Baldwin, both about thirty
years old, were spirited to the out
skirts of the city and flogged into
semi consciousness.
First news of the seizure was con-
tanned in a laconic police announce

tered the prison and took the men
away. There was no explanation as
to how the band managed to get past
the guards or to know the location of
the cell in which the two men were
confined. Nor was there even the
usual alibi at first that prison guards
had been overpowered or cowed and
forced to hand over the prison keys.
This alibi was announced several
hours after the first police statement
on the case.
Baldwin was able to make his way
back to Goldsboro after the beating
and was taken to his home for treat

in Greene County several hours later.
Superior Court Judge Luther Ham

to investimate the beatings.
Deputy Sheriff R. w. Percise said
two white men entered the City Jail
and ordered Tailor Walter Gurley to
surrender the prisoners. Gurley said
he did not recognize the white men.
Baldwin told the officers that five
white men drove eight miles out of
the county, stripped him and Edwards
and dashed them with sticks.
The two victims were to have faced
preliminary hearing on charge of
knocking down Mayor Hill. Percise
said the Mayor was attacked when he

aspirations received an irrevocable

~ arose between Don Agustin and
President Porflrio Diaz.
The proud young captain was
Jailed for II months. Only power.
full backing and the magic Of his
family name In Mexico at the time
saved Don Agustin from the firing

Imprisonment had its pleasant
side, however, for Don Agustin was
allowed to have q piano In his cell.
His mother obtained permission to
visit him daily. -s-
Ordered ExiIed.
To rid himself Of his prisoner,
whom he did not dare kill and
whose presence proved embarras-
sing, Diaz resorted to his power to
exile.
Don Agustin, his vast family hold
ings confiscated, turned to his other
Observation-Disclosures. And to his old
university-Georgetown. Thanks to
his broad education, he could read
and speak French, German, Italian,
and, of course. English and Spanish.
So he took advantage Of his linguis-
tic knowledge and joined the faculty
OF Georgetown as . teacher Of
French and Spanish. In the sum-
mers, he often tauRht at Notro
Dame University.
His family had long been friends
Of the Kearneys in Georgetown. and
In 1915 Don Agustin and Mary
Louise Kearney were married.
Lived Here Quietly.
The one-time prince lived quietly,
his hobbies being photography and
historical writing. His favorite char.
acter in history, naturally enough,
was his grandfather. g.

MaxinliIian's S Heir
Left Widow Who
Lives in Capital
Mexicun Crown Prince
Spent Lost Year
As Teoeher Here

A living reminder Of the stirring
story Of Emperor Maximilian's ILL
fated Mexican reign-the last rem
nant of which was generally be-
lieved history when the Empress
Carlotta died in 1927 after 60 years
OF madness-is In Washington to-
day.
The widow Of the late Don Agus-
tin de Iturbide, chosen by the child
less Macmillan to succeed him on
the throne, Is the former Mary
Louise Kearney who lives in q mod
est apartment at 2ll5 p street NV.
surrounded by mementoes Of that
bloody page In Mexico's history.
The anti-climax Of the story, its
principal action beginning and end
ing In q comparatively few years,
has been spread over the major por-
ton Of q century.
And now appears . first-hand
word picture of the colorful career
Of the little boy who was presented
by Macmillan as the crown prince
OF his short-lived domain.
Not Grateful 10 Emperor.
But Mrs. Mary Louise Kearney
Iturbide, gazing out of her apart
ment window, said Don Agustin
never was particularly grateful to
the Emperor.
He had little reason for personal
obligation" she explained. after
all, Macmillan made the selection
with the view Of making himself
more popular with the Mexican peo-
pie. Don Agustin's grandfather,
Emperor Agustin I, you will remem-
Der, was known as the uberator be-
cause Of his leadership in the revolt
against Spanish rule
Pictures Of the Iturbides are hung
on the walls Of the apartment. Me-
mentoes Of their imperial fame were
In evidence on all sides. Mrs. Itur-
bide spoke of them proudly, but with
q trace Of melancholy, for there will
be no more Iturbides. With her
husbands death in 1925, the line
was ended.
Since he was only 2 years old when
Macmillan picked him rs his Sue
cessor and only 1 when the EN-
peror was executed, Don Agustin re-
membered but little of his life as q
prince.
Treated Him Kindly.
HE said Maximilian always
treated him kindly" said Mrs.
Iturbide. His main impression Of
the Empress Carlotta, though, is
that she did not like him at ALL"
