. ‘ BOHN EDGAR HOOVER C oO “a DIRECTOR ~ _-dl Bureau of Investigation Rnited States Department of Justice Washington, B.C. LCS: ps Merch 9, 1937. Ate MEMORANDUM FOR MR. NATHAN i Mr. Samuel C. Sacco of the War Department, Identity NL Section, called here today to make an inquiry whether our files revealed that the fingerprints of Al 6 had ever been searched against the War Department records. An exani- nation of the fingerprints failed to show this had been done. Mr. Sacco stated that an official inquiry had been received relative to the foregoing, and requested to borrow a copy of our fingerprints to have them searched against the Wer Department files. I furnished him with a photographic copy. cad I have a faint recollection that this question came up before, although information relative thereto is not shown in our files here. I think Capone's fingerprints were checked in the War Department and no previous record was found. Mr. Sacco stated that he believes the inquiry dn the War Department may have some connection with the request to try to get a parole for Capone, through the assistance of proved military service.
