Al Capone the Nice Guy
Although Capone ordered dozens of deaths and even killed with his own hands, he often treated people fairly and generously. He was the first to open soup kitchens after the 1929 stock market crash and he ordered merchants to give clothes and food to the needy at his expense.

Arrested for Three Killings
Al Capone was arrested in 1926 for killing three people, but spent only one night in jail because there was insufficient evidence to connect him with the murders.

Attempts On Al Capone
Attempts on Capone's life were never successful. He had an extensive spy network in Chicago, from newspaper boys to policemen, so that any plots against him were quickly discovered.
