CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—Two con- fllcting views were presented here today concerning the government's \| chances of collecting the tax assess- ment against A} Capone and his old syndicate. Government officials hinted at the chance ‘that large sums had been secreted by the gang Teaders and that these could be r “alized to cover the judgment.

Watigh, sttor- ney representing the syndicate dur- ing the liquor indictment troubles, also expressed doubt that Capone still held property from which the new assessment might be realized. ‘The new tax represents @ levy on beer seized in ralde during the years 1921 to 1982, Information gained by the raids was inoorpo- rated in an indictment naming Capone, Bert Delaney and some thirty-five others, and charging conspiracy to manufacture and sell Micit brew, After being amended several times the Indictment was dissolved after the repeat of the: Eighteenth Amendment. One angle of the case by which the new assessment can be used as a threat over the gang leaders is the fact that the judgment will be in effect for aix years from yester- day. Capone went to prison May 6, 1932, and ff released for good be- havior in seven and a half years majority of Capone's tangible acts inthe form of rea) watate two years over to the government.
