This Jan. 2007, file photo shows the house where Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone lived for several years with his family on the Southside of Chicago. After being on the market for several years, listing agent Ryan Smith says the 2,820-square-foot building in the city's Park Manor neighborhood sold last week for $226,000, more than twice the $109,900 asking price. The buyer wasn't identified. The previous owner listed the building in 2009 for $450,000 and lowered the price over the years. Capone paid about $15,000 for the building in 1923.

The way President Donald Trump sees it, Capone, the most famous gangster in American history, got off easy compared to Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. On Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018, as Manafort stands trial for charges that include tax evasion, the same crime that landed Capone in Alcatraz, the president took to twitter to complain that Manafort is being treated far harsher than &quot;Public Enemy Number One.&quot; ((AP File Photo)

BOOK REVIEW: ‘Eliot Ness’

By Paul Davis - Special to The Washington Times

FILE - This undated file photo shows Eliot Ness in Cleveland. The Chicago City Council is scheduled to debate a resolution Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, that would officially oppose naming a federal building in Washington after the Prohibition era crime-fighter. Nearly six decades after his death, Ness is still so admired that Illinois' two U.S. senators support the idea. But Chicago Alderman Ed Burke wants the senators to drop it calling Ness and his role in capturing gangster Al Capone a &quot;Hollywood myth.&quot; (AP Photo/The Plain Dealer, File) NO SALES, MANDATORY CREDIT

The front cover of the then originally titled 'American' or as it is now known 'Citizen Kane' film which was Orson Well working copy of the script held by an employee of Sotheby's auction house in London, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014. Orson Welles' personal draft script for &quot;Citizen Kane&quot; is up for sale _ from the collection of an American almost as wealthy as the movie's monstrous newspaper mogul, though considerably more private. The script, which has an estimated price of 15,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds ($25,000 to $33,000), is part of a sale of more than 1,000 items owned by the late Stanley Seeger, an affluent collector of everything from Old Masters and contemporary art to historical oddities.

FILE - This undated file photo shows Eliot Ness in Cleveland. Portrayed over the years by Kevin Costner and Robert Stack as an incorruptible hero, Ness' legend is now at risk, with some claiming his role in taking out Chicago mobster Al Capone is as mythical as Mrs. O’Leary’s cow starting the Great Chicago Fire. Illinois’ two U.S. senators, Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Mark Kirk, have proposed naming the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives headquarters in Washington after the Prohibition-era crime fighter, but Ed Burke, a prominent Chicago alderman and others are trying to convince the senators to drop the whole thing. Both senators are not backing down, though, insisting he deserves it anyway. (AP Photo/The Plain Dealer, File)
