Bismarck Tribune, 4 June 1929, page 7: Chicago’s Al Capone likes to wear apron, cook spaghetti

Page 7 of the Bismarck Tribune for Tuesday, 4 June 1929 carries a feature credited “(NEA)” and datelined Chicago, June 4, under the headline “CHICAGO’S AL CAPONE LIKES TO WEAR APRON, COOK SPAGHETTI.” An editor’s note says it is “a timely story about the family life of Al Capone,” who “recently came into public notice again when he was sentenced to a year in jail in Philadelphia for carrying a gun.” A photograph at the top of the column is captioned “Here is the Capone home on Prairie avenue, Chicago.”

The address is printed in the text: “in the neat brick house at 7244 Prairie avenue, where his family lives, he is just a husband.” The feature describes the household as seen by neighbors and says Capone lived in a hotel suite downtown and visited the house. It says Capone “engaged an elaborate suite downtown at the Lexington hotel” and “most of the time” stayed there.

This is a human-interest feature with no source named beyond “neighbors.” This archive cites it only for the street address and the caption’s identification of the house, and does not retell the family details.
