Al Capone survived a thousand machine gun rounds at his Hawthorne Inn headquarters in Cicero, corrupted judges and police across Chicago, and ran a criminal empire generating an estimated one hundred million dollars a year. No gangster believed a tax case would work. They were wrong.
This episode covers the full sweep of Capone's story — from his Brooklyn origins and early tutelage under Johnny Torrio at the Four Deuces on South Wabash, through the Cicero takeover in 1924, the September 1926 Hawthorne attack, and the brutal St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929 that made the North Side Gang's extermination almost complete. Capone's belief that he was untouchable was the thing that ultimately destroyed him.
Eliot Ness and his Untouchables methodically dismantled the bootlegging infrastructure. But it was IRS agent Frank Wilson's forensic accounting — tracing cash flows through a web of shell payments and corrupted intermediaries — that delivered the federal indictment. Capone went to trial in 1931, was convicted on five counts of tax evasion, and drew eleven years. Atlanta Federal Penitentiary first, then Alcatraz, where he was prisoner AZ-85.
Syphilis, contracted years earlier and left untreated through paranoia and prison conditions, was destroying his mind. By the time he was released in 1939, the sharpness was gone. He retired to his Palm Island estate in Miami, a man who had once effectively run a city, and died there in January 1947 — diminished, largely ignored, and far from the South Side empire he had built.
