Tonight's FBI file, yesterday's killers. More and more, you hear people who tend to weave a veil of romance about the names and escapades of El Capone, of John Villinger, of Mar-Bucker and Alvin Cuppus.

The gangsters who made prohibition first the laughing stock, and their serious business. who listened to this program tonight were not yet born at that time. We're not alive to see the mobs of Muslims who made illegal whiskey the basis for criminal syndicates.

We're not yet reading a newspaper that morning in 1929 when a trigger-happy gunman walked into a Chicago garage wearing a stolen police uniform and mowed down seven men, a killing that became famous as the St. Valentine's Day in Africa.

Those were the days you hear people say, and they are right. Those were the days when Al Capone had three entire floors in a large Chicago hotel. When the word bootlegger was in some circles a badge of honor.
