Dear Sir: I respectfully appeal to you for a construction of "Bulletin No.24" as it will apply to me,or rather to the visit's of my Mother.Wife,Son,and the rest of my family. Since my incarceration here it has been the custom of my family to visit me each month, and until this new rule has been applied,l have had the pleasure of having three visit's a month,to run consecutively for three days,at one hour each day.Such visit's has been the privilege I have valued highest of a11,for I know such visit's short as they may have been,always have been a world full of joy and happiness for my family and myself. But if I correctly interpret the import or Bulletin 2;,starting this month our Visit's are to be shortened to one visit a month,and for onegand one day,regard1ess of how far the visitor must travel to visit the prisoner relative.that kind Sir,is the poi- nt I-am appealing to you for information upon.In order to visit me my family must trav- el approximately two thousand miles,that is the trip both way's,w111 that distance Sir, entitle them to at least see two days in a sow,for one hour each day,Mr warden if you can see your way clear to allow me that privilege,I am sure that you will be doing some ting that will be more than appreciated,and I know it will sure make my family and myse 1f happy and contented. Now Sir,if you cant possibly allow me this privilege.than maybe you will possi- bly consider this other favor for me,will you aIIOW'ma,that is if you cant do the above for us,sllow me to have my same three visit's on the 24,25,26th of this month,to run con secutively,and at the same time as always.that is one hour each day,and than I will ar- range with my family not to come down until after three months are over,now Sir,the rea- son I ask this favor,is the fact of the long trip,it is rather expensive,and if you will kindly give me the power of it being done this way,I am sure that we will more than app ciate it,sure hepe you will consider this condition,for the sake of my family,as it sure mean's plenty to able to see them for a few hour's a month,thanking you in advance,and sure hepe and pray that you will consider this favorbly. Mr warden,l am sorry to take so much of your time,but I would like to again have the pleasure,of again reminding you,if you can possibly give me a chance on some other detail,as I now have been here over two year's.and I am sure that my work has been sat- isfactory,and intend to keep it so as long as I am here,I request Sir,if you will con- sider me,for work either at the Baker Shop or at the Tennis court as a helper,as I am familar with both details,and the main reason Sir,is the fact that they are both too goo details where I can get plenty or exercise.and sunshine and fresh air,as I have a terr ibl case of nose trouble,and have been operated on twice,and Dr 0ssenfort,csn also var if my oondition,and as long as I can get some air and sun,and exercisn,l will sure be grateful to you,and sure will do my utmost to prove the privilege will be respected; In regards to my job at the Shoe Shop,I have been running the "Sticher"for my why ole period that I have been here,and understand my Job 100%,and have broken in a new man who understand's running the machine very well,but if Sir,will ant me chance to change my detail,I will be more than glad to fix the machine on my sto ads time,or any other time I am needed,and be glad to help at all time's,sure hope you will consider me,and give me a chance to advance myself.and also improve my health,thanking you again,and sur hope you will give me a chance to prove myself.

Morgan 8 Company Points Way for Capone?s Release Can receive original gold medal and fund collected for ?unknown hero? at Collier?s office owned by Morgan Company. AN OPEN LETTER Alphone Capone, United States Penitentiary, Atlanta, Georgia. Dear Sir The newspapers report efforts to secure your release from the penitentiary. A way is open for you to do it. Somebody (it makes no difference how many) made an assault on United States Senator Huey P. Long and then made a clear get away, while he was attending the Charity Benefit at Long Island on Saturday, August 26th. Glorious worship has been printed for several days for whoever was guilty of this crime. No one has yet found the criminals to get any version from them, but, just the same, certain newpapers and magazines have given various ?what might have been? reasons for the assault, and while each ?rea- son or excuse? contradicts all the other ?reasons and excuses?, none the less these papers declare that the assault should be highly extolled and com- mended. Now the House of Morgan editors, particularly one Owen P. White, of Collier?s Weekly, owned by Morgan Co., are receiving contributions to give to the unknown criminals, or, to put it their way, ?only one criminal, but a very strong man capable of doing the job alone.? The fact that Collier?s magazine, is owned by Morgan Co. was admitted by Mr. Thomas W. Lamont, a Morgan partner in answer to questions propounded by Senator Huey P. Long before a U. S. Senate Committee. The New York Evening Post, owned by the House of Morgan but later turned into the name of one on its preferred list, says: ?Money and mes- sages rolled in to Mr. White at his office at Collier?s Magazine.? This Morgan editor, Owen P. White, has an- nounced that large sums are coming in cash cur- rency so that the Morgan firm can swell it to im- mense proportions, thus concealing that they are really just putting up the money. (You know, Al, while they?ve got you in the penitentiary for not re? porting all your income tax, J. P. Morgan and all his partners paid none at all and the government ordered them ?not investigated because anything they returned was 0. So now, here is your chance: You haven?t yet been charged with having anything to do with try? ing to beat up or kill any U. S. Senators, particularly one of those who advocates a limitation on big for? tunes. Furthermore, you have been in a small fry business. Morgan and our other international bank- ers swindled the people out of more money on Kreuger T011 and Insull stocks, on Argentine, German and Brazilian floatations and caused more starvations, suicides and murders than a million such men as you could do in a hundred years. But, now comes your chance if you can rise to it: Wire at once to Collier?s Weekly, the Evening Post, or any other magazine or newspaper in with the House of Morgan and other big fortune holders (and that gets most of them), wire them at once that you had Senator Huey P. Long beat up at'the Charity Benefit on Long Island and that the only reason he wasn?t killed was because he managed to get away too soon for the men to finish the job. Immediately they will send you the contribution and this Morgan gold medal. That puts you in their Class. Then you are not expected to pay any income tax and the government will owe you ,back whatever money you did pay. Wire them that you will complete the job on' Senator Long if he goes too far again. And, to make it sure, wire them also that you have your eyes on the other U. S. Senators who voted for the ?Long Plan? to put some limit on the big fortunes and to spread some of the wealth among all the people in America. Let it be known that from the sign left on the forehead of a U. S. Senator, (who escaped before he could be worse handled) is a mere warn- ing of ?events that are casting their shadows be- fore.? Those Senators who have persisted in vot- ing to place taxes relieve and help the little man at the bottom, should be announced as your special luminaries for future notice and attention, with Senator Long as the fair sample. If you send this wire and qualify for the credit of this attack then, overnight, you become the hero to America that Morgan?s magazines are now look- ing for; you get the big ?contribution? being taken up by Morgan?s editors, or at least the swag Morgan?s outfit has to give for ?the work.? Be- coming thus honored and aligned with Morgan Co. the government has to release you from jail and pay you back whatever you paid on income taxes. Instead of being classed with small fry crim- inals, you will stand with the crew that has starved and killed by the millions, not just a few now and then; you will rank with the extortioners who filched the last penny of the laborers, widows and orphans for the worthless paper floatedby the swol? len fortune element. We advise that you make connections early. Otherwise someone else may claim this honor if you delay.

And in point of art-why it can wear any kind of a suit or dress or kimono and not spend anything dressing up. You will see them in windows,offices, all varieties of stores,every room in every home,in the millionaires den and in the humblest niggers residence with even a few ?bxicans included. no-1 know what 1 can do and what 1 can't do. 1f 1 didn't have anything 1 could do a lot of selling because 1 have contact with several million of the worlds greatest this contact represents knowing just what these tomatoes are up against,how they think,react,and use choice words several times daily. But 1 have got something.John Gobatti Mfg.CoJ Pueblo will vouch for the mechanical end of that;and also he will touch for its all arouud saleability? Even if 1 did not show hin1vore than a fraction of my uses for these devices he knows that they will go over.And no machine shop has equaled Gobatti's in point of developing the mechanical end of inventions in Southern Colorado.

This work would include practicaly all the trades and arts in its creation including all the imagination and individuality in variations that have no limit and are endless.Yet it would involve no technical machine work nor materials not purchasable across the counter; This aside the steel made by the die in machine shop-the fashioning of the particular steel device that goes into them.And one of my inventions performs the same combinations without the need of this die formed device.But it would be more expensive to use in large mass quantities. Now 1 want to ask your advice about a good trade name for these devices. How about helping a guy out on a_good name for them-what?

He worxed in an annunition factory for about these years at one time and a little later he worked in a Book-Biniery for a?sililar period. Sais he was paid 23.00 dollars a-week while there. Then he was able to secure financial backing and went into the business, of breeding and selling racing dogS, greyhounds, whippets, etc. This business he says flourished and expanded and he says he has never given it up entirely. Later he went into the liquor busi- ness also and this led to all his subsequent difficulties. He denies any arrests however until about 1930 or 1931 when he was sentenced to one year in Jail in Philadelphia for carrying concealed weapons. In.1932 he was convicted on his present charges although he denies was ever unwilling to pay the amounts asked Of him.
