Other date stamps and notations refer to the photograph's subsequent use by the newspaper, including another article attached, dated January 26, 1947 upon Capone's death. Capone earned the nickname "Scarface" from a bar brawl when he was 18 years old, working as a bartender and bouncer for gangster Frankie Vale. Capone went on to become one of the most ruthless gang leaders ever, whose Chicago operations were routinely disrupted by famous federal agent Eliot Ness (The Untouchables).

Al Capone's inmate file from Alcatraz Prison.

Au départ, Alcatraz était une forteresse militaire. Elle devint un pénitencier fédéral en 1934 et ce jusqu'en 1963, lorsque Robert Kennedy décida de le fermer en raison de sa vétusté.

Après la fermeture du pénitencier, l'île fut occupée par les Indiens sioux, qui s'en servirent pour alerter l'opinion sur leurs conditions de vie, mais ils en furent chassés par le gouvernement au bout de deux ans.
