During
the 1920s, Alphonse Capone was a notorious gangster who
conducted his illegal enterprises in Chicago, Illinois.
In 1929, the FBI was ordered by the Attorney General to
investigate the legitimacy of an affidavit that petitioned
for a postponement of Mr. Capone's appearance in response
to a Federal Grand Jury subpoena. The investigation established
that facts within the affidavit were indeed false. On
February 25, 1931, Mr. Capone was tried and convicted
of contempt of court. When Mr. Capone was convicted for
income tax evasion, the Judge ruled that the sentence
for contempt of court should be served concurrently with
the tax evasion sentence.
