Cleveland Ponder — Bates — Tavel _ Walters Soyars MAILED 24 NOV18 1971 tect BS NQV, 29, A971 ever ort November 18, 1971 In reply to your letter received on November 15th, the FBI does not have any material concerning Al Capone which we can send you; however, you may wish to refer to “The FBI Story,’ a book written by Don Whitehead, which contains some data relative to him. You may be able to obtain a copy at your school or local library. Capone was sentenced on October 24, 1931, for violation of the Federal income tax laws, which does not come within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI. He was released from the Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island, California, on January 19, 1939, and died on January 25, 1947, at Palm Island, Miami, Florida. Enclosed is some literature which I hope you will find of interest. Sincerely yours, John Edgar Hoover Director Enclosures (4) ‘4 es The Story of the FBI 2 on 99 Facts about the FBI Fingerprint Identification ye The FBI Laboratory : NOTE: Correspondent not identifiable Butiles- “eo DCL: bmv (3) v bp” oh
