On September 20, 1939, L. P, Mattingly filed with C. W. Harrick,' Internal Revenue Agent in Charge, at the Chicago Office, a statement on behalf of Al Capons. See Exhibit N. In this exhibit he states 'Taxpayer became active as a principal with three associates at about the end of the year 1925


The profits of the organization of which he was a member was divided as follows: One third to a group of four regular employees, and one sixh each to the taxpayer and three associates". See Exhibit N.

'The' three associates referred to, it is believed, are Jack Cuzik, Ralph Capone, Frank Nito. For the year 1925 one sixth of the total checks cashed and deposited by the three other members of the syndicate is charged to Al Capone, (See Exhibits W-4-M-F-G 3.) A small account in the name of Mae Capone, taxpayer's wife, was found in the West Side Trust and Savings Bank. The total deposits of $2500 is added to taxpayer's income.
