mattjh: Your great aunt’s husband looks like he’s covered in splattered blood and Capone looks satisfied in the most unsettling way.
bloqchains: This may have actually been the 20s! I believe Capone was arrested and jailed in 1931. Height was around 1927. Very cool nonetheless and I could be mistaken.
vhsvswwenetwork: Doesn’t look like other pictures of Capone. Interesting.
