Why did Al Capone get blamed for The Valentine's day massacre if he wasn't even there?
People think that because chief gangster Al Capone sought to consolidate control by eliminating his rivals in the illegal trades of bootlegging, gambling and prostitution. From 1924 to 1930, the city of Chicago gained a widespread reputation for lawlessness and violence. One February evening in North Chicago, seven well-dressed men were found riddled with bullets inside the S.M.C Cartage Co. garage. They had been lined up against a wall, with their backs to their executioners and shot to death. These people were working for "Bugs" Moran. During the height of prohibition and the never-ending competition between gangster rivals Al "Scarface" Capone and George "Bugs" Moran, bloody warfare was nothing new to the authorities of Chicago. Nobody could think someone from some other state could be involved. Al was never charged or proven mainly because he was not there. There is another theory nobody talked about at that time. The theory holds that Enoch Lewis "Nucky" Johnson from New Jersey was involved in the planning of the massacre.

John Dillinger was a notorious bank robber and gangster during the Great Depression, gaining infamy in the 1930s rather than the 1920s. His criminal exploits captured the public's imagination, making him a symbol of the era's lawlessness and disillusionment with authority. Dillinger's ability to evade capture and his dramatic escapes from law enforcement highlighted the challenges faced by the FBI and law enforcement agencies at the time.

What year did Al Capone go to Prison for Tax Evasion?
he went to jail for tax evasion in the year 1931
Yeah, the gang gets caught because of an unsatisfied customer named Del.
Del expected there to be bulletholes or blood on his clothes, so he told his parents to write a letter to Piper's dad, in this case, is the warden.
So then, Del's parents write a letter to Warden Williams. And Mr. Williams gets the letter and blames Moose, Annie, and Jimmy.
He doesn't blame Piper because she is his 'sweetie'.
And of course, the kids all agree it was Piper's fault, mainly, so Warden Williams gets angry with Piper and sends her to her granny's house. And Piper dislikes her granny very much. Moose gets in trouble with his dad and loses his baseball (stuff?) or bat (or glove) and Annie doesn't get in trouble (idk why) and Jimmy doesn't get in trouble either, because his parents were too busy with their new baby, Rocky and didn't pay attention. They also knew that Jimmy wasn't caught up in the scheme.
