SEE PHOTO(s) - An ORIGINAL front page of a NEWSPAPER, the
Tallahasse Daily Democrat
(FL) dated March 24, 1930. This original newspaper front page contains a bold banner headline, photo, and local newspaper detailing
Florida's attempt to bar Chicago gangster AL CAPONE from the state of Florida
.
This original newspaper front page has been professionally mounted on a thin white cardboard backing for preservation of this fragile item. It is perfect for framing and display.
One of the most famous American gangsters of the 20th century made Florida his getaway from cold Chicago winters and assassination attempts. Capone first visited Miami in 1926. Despite the best efforts by law enforcement, the governor and local newspapers to run him out of the state, Scarface returned again and again, and eventually took his last breath here.
The former Miami Beach home of the original real-life Scarface — the notorious gangster Al Capone — was on the market for 15 million dollars in 2018.
The 30,000 square foot lot at 93 Palm Avenue is composed of three buildings: A four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath, 6,000 square foot villa; a two-story pool cabana; and a two-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse, which Capone used as a guardhouse, because you make a lot of enemies when you become a mob boss.
One of the most colorful figures in American crime history, Capone earned the "Scarface" nickname at the age of 18, when he was slashed in the face with a knife by the brother of a woman Capone insulted at a nightclub.
Capone bought the Palm Island spread in 1928 in cash for ,000 — or 6,000 adjusted for inflation — while South Florida was still recovering from the giant hurricane that flattened the area in 1926. The house, which was built in 1922, became party central for Capone and his cohorts, who needed respites from their Chicago day jobs of bootlegging, money laundering, prostitution and gambling.
Capone also used the Miami Beach residence in 1929 to plan the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, in which he rubbed out seven rival gangsters using hit men dressed as policemen. The mass execution earned Capone the moniker of "Public Enemy Number One."
Capone was sent to prison in 1931 for tax evasion and served six and a half years of an 11-year sentence, most of them at the Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. He was released in 1939 and eventually returned to his Palm Island getaway. A Miami Herald story from March 21, 1940, reported "lights were blazing in rooms" at the house and automobiles were entering the grounds through the massive wooden doors that guarded the entrance.
After prison, the gangster led a mostly reclusive life and suffered from dementia. He died in the Miami Beach home on Jan. 25, 1947 at the age of 48 from a stroke.
The home previously sold in 2013 for .4 million and again in 2014 for .9 million.
