May 4th, 1932 marked the end of the criminal line for the man known as "Scarface" and "Public Enemy Number One." Eighty four years ago last week, Al Capone was placed on a heavily guarded train, headed for what was reputed to be one of the toughest prisons in America, the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta. Alcatraz would come later.
