s THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. W C., SDNESDAY. SE PTEMBER 9. 1931 CAPONE T0 STAND TRIAL OCTOBERS Court Grants Gangster Per- mission to Withdraw Guilty Plea in Dry Case. By ‘he Assoctated Press, | CHICAGO, September 9.--A show- down between the Government and Alphonse Capone Was a step nearer to- day This became apparent when the status of the charges against the gang chief was cleared somewhat by Federal | Judge James H. Wilkerson vesterday in granting Capone permission to with- draw his plea of guilty to an indict- ment charging conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. At the same time Judge Wilkerson set October 6 as the Qate for Capone to go on trial on & charge of income tax delinquencies to- taling about $2.000.000 Michael Ahern, the gangster's lawyer, | moved immediately to quash the liquor {ndictment, but hearing on this ques- tion was continued indefinitely, subject to come up later on five days' notice | from either the prosecution or the de- fense. Court Could Not Concur. Judge W i z on the Hquor case, filed A mer which he he allowed th to change his pleas of guilty to not | guilty in both charges because of 8| compromise agreement in which the court could not concur. His reference was to reports that Capone had been promised a short sentence in return for his pleas of guilty, which were cur- rent last July, when Capone was al- lowed to withdraw his admission of guilt in the income tax case. “The commissioner of internal rev- enue,” the court said, “has power, with the advice and consent of the Becre- tary of the Treasury and the recom- mendation of the Attorney General, to compromise criminal liability under the internal revenue laws after suit has been commenced. “The recommendation to be made to the court in these cases contemplated that the sentence to be imposed in the conspiracy case, while an independent sentence in form, was really to run concurrently with the sentence in the income tax case. Grand Jury to Report. “The court has ruled that the pleas ot guilty must be unconditional, add that in a hearing thereon there can be no understanding which precludes the i coutr from ascertaining the facts and entering, at the conclusion of the hear- ing, the judgment which is proper under the facts” At the time Capone wasin court last July 31, when he changed his mind about pieading guilty, Judge Wilkerson ! suggested that the prosecution attempt | to ascertain whether Capone and 68 co- defendants named in the liquor con- gpiracy case could not be indicted under the Jones law, which provides heavier penalties than are possible under the conspiracy statute. The grand jury is to report tomorrow, but there has been no announcement of whether any fur- ther action has been taken . The alleged beer business of Capone end his associates is reputed to have reached the amazing figure of $20.000.- 000 a year. The conspiracy indictment | alleged 5,000 separate offenses.
