The Federal court for the northern district of illinois, hands down United States v. Capone: judge James H. Wilkerson sentences Alphonse Gabriel “Al” Capone to eleven years on prison, and a 50,000 Dollar fine, 30,000 Dollars for court costs, and to pay 215,000 Dollars plus interest for evasion of the unlawful personal Federal income tax.
NOTE: The defense argument against self-incrimination—paying taxes on illegally earned income—was not allowed by Wilkerson.
