Evidence showed Capone’s tax evasion accused on income over one million dollars, with losses at horse races totaling about 375 thousand. Witness Hickory Slim, aka Harry Belford, testified Capone lost five thousand on Belford’s book in 1925 as the defense framed Capone as a high roller who frittered away ill gotten gains.
