Perjury charges filed against Capone in Miami Florida
Miami June 14 AP Perjury charges were filed against Scarface Al Capone after he defeated a nuisance action to padlock his Palm Island home. He was ordered to answer warrants arising from false arrest against safety director S D McCreary. State’s attorney vowed to run him out of the county. Capone left court for Palm Beach when warrants arrived. Deputy sheriffs were sent to serve them. The move follows Capone’s attempts to remain in the community amid strong local opposition. Leon Burnett and Alden Stockard plan to attend the Iowa State Boy Scout encampment at Camp Rainbow Des Moines starting July 18. Alden will attempt Eagle Scout, Melvin Tudor leads Red Cross lifeguard training. New corkscrew-bristled brush tips for tight-neck bottles noted.
