A record of the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Department of Justice, held by the National Archives at Chicago in Record Group 118. A United States government work, public domain in the United States under 17 U.S.C. § 105. The National Archives catalog lists access and use as unrestricted.

Two pages of handwritten notes dated 8 October 1931, during the trial. The catalog says George E. Q. Johnson made them during the government’s income-tax prosecution of Al Capone. It holds them as two page images and a PDF.

The catalog title is “U.S. Attorney General George E. Q. Johnson’s Handwritten Notes.” That title is wrong about his office: Johnson was the United States Attorney at Chicago, and his signed letter of 6 May 1931 in the same file says so.

The pages were not read for this archive, so nothing from them is quoted. The description follows the National Archives catalog entry.
