ARN eat Camp #6, Parchman, Miss., August 25, 1935, Dear Mrs. Capone No doubt you will be quite surprised to receive a letter from me, But Mrs. Capone I am a good friend of your husband and have known him for sane time, in fact the rings and belt buckles he sent you from At- b7c - lanta were made by me. I also am the boy that taught to play tennis. Well what I wanted to tell you is that I am serving years in the Mississippi State Pen. I got this time after I left Atlanta last year in August. Well as you may know the Government is trying to put a charge against Al for bribing some of the officials in Atlanta. Also having con- traband money inside of the walls, so they want to take Al‘s good time away from him so the Government has sent a Special Agent over here four times to see me and try to get me to give them a signed statement against Al that I used his money while I was in Atlanta the Gov. has offered to help me out if I would sign the statement against Al and some of the officials, But I wont sign nothing against no one for I am not a mn of that caliber and never was as Al will tell you. Now Mrs. Capone I do wish you would send Ralph or John over here or one of Als attorneys so I can give him or them @ statement in Als behalf for something had better be don about it or I am afraid that Al will loose all of his good time, Also be tried again on some other charges I sure would like to talk to some of you about this case as I know much more than I care to write so tell Soney hello and how is his Belt Buckle getting along now send my best regards to Al I am Yours truly f sot) Camp #6, Parchman, Miss.
