1931 Photograph of the famous Chicago gangster Al Capone as he appeared in court and beat the rap again (vagrancy charge), shortly before he would finally be put away on tax evasion charges. One of the last images of 'Scarface" as a free man that we have seen and it is also one of his most famous ever taken with this being the only original example we have found to date. The photo is a double weight original from a foreign news service and it presents well with a crease near the top and some editorial marks from publication being the only flaws.
