CHICAGO, - July 28 -(AP)- ALPHONSE CAPONE'S day of reckoning with the government is close at hand. There has been considerable conjecture as to what length of term the gang chief will re- ceive when he comes before Federal Judge WILKER- SON on Thursday of this week, but one thing appeared certain and that was that he won't fly in an airplane to the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kans. United States Marshal H. C. W. LAUBENHEIMER said the government had rejected an offer from an airways company to transport all prisoners to Leavenworth by plane, beginning with CAPONE. CAPONE is to be sentenced on his pleas of guilty to charges of violating the income tax law and for conspiracy to break the prohibition act. Meanwhile he has been enjoying a final splurge of freedom at Benton Harbor, Mich. ========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ ==========================================================================
