== == Alphonse Capone-- (1899-1947), popularly known as Al "Scarface" Capone, was an infamous American gangster in the "Roaring 20's" during Prohibition. Born in New York, Capone began his career in Brooklyn before moving to Chicago and becoming Chicago's most notorious crime figure. He was placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list after using bribery, murder, and extortion to enforce his criminal control. After a decade of crime, Capone's downfall occurred in 1931. Ironically, he was convicted of evading the income tax on his illegal earnings. He was sent to the notorious federal prison on the island of Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, where he spent 8 years of his sentence. Paroled in 1939, Capone was chronically ill due the progression of syphillis. Most of his criminal syndicate had passed into other hands during his imprisonment. He died in Palm Island, Florida, in 1947 at the age of 48.
