Mrs. Capone came with her brother, Capone has been in jail since Satur- day, when he was sentenced to 11 years and fined $50,000 and costs for evading income taxes. His attorneys, who visit the gang chief every day, have been expected to ask that Capone be taken t0 Leavenworth Penitendiary while they appeal his case, but they have refused to discuss their plans. Yesterday's visitors included State Senator Daniel A. Serritella, who is un- der indletment for conspiracy while in the office of city sealer; Harry Hoch- stein, his chief deputy, also under in- dictment, and Alderman Willlam Pa- celli of the “Bloody Twentieth” ward. Raid Figds Gang Departed. Detective Chief William Schoemaker says he is sure “we're got Al Capone on the run.” He made this assertion last night after a raid on the stronghold of the convicted gangster disclosed that his followers had gone some place else. While their leader sat in a hospital cell in the county jail reading detec- tive stories until his attorney, Michael Ahern, decides about appealing to the Supreme Court for Capone's release pending appeal, his followers vacated their third and fourth floor headquar- ters in the Lexington Hotel. Capone recently was sentenced to serve 11 years in Leavenworth for income tax evasions. Gang Departs in Haste. Chief Schoemaker staged yesterday's rald with the expectation of telling Capone’s followers to get out. Raiders found nothing but five radios, bedroom furniture, an eiectric refrigerator, kitchen equipment, a chef, a dish- washer and a bus boy. ‘The manager of the hotel said that Parktown Worsted Suits Our tailors at Fashion Park haven't scored such a decided hit in many seasons as with these Parktown Worsted Suits—in both double and single breasted models—especially double breastefl.

Substitution of gasoline transporta- tion for mule back has progressed in Cuba this year. Since September, 1928, the Lexington Hotel had been the gang’s headquartass. Out of those three years police chose for their raid the day following the exodus of the gang. It was never a secret that this was the council chamber of the Capone outlaws. But public and police curiosity was inflamed by the assertion of Judge Wilkerson that “an organized body of men” maintained their “outlaw cam {at the Lexington Hotel,” from whith emanated the “array of shocking | perjury” seen at the Capone income tax_trial. “This band exercises a coercive in- terest,” sald Judge Wilkerson, “which is nothing less than insurrectio against the laws of the United States.

The raiders found period furniture and five assorted radio sets, console modelssone adjusted to receive alarms broadcast to cruising detective squads. They learned Mr. Capone had been so entranced with Mr. Arcadi’s rendi. tion of spaghetti that he was hired at $50 a week, room and board, to preside over the Capone culsine.
