Filed and swore to a 1938 habeas corpus petition in the federal court at Chicago on behalf of Alphonse Capone, then at Alcatraz, as "his mother and duly authorized agent."

The petition is the only record filed here in which she acts, and it records only her relationship to the petitioner, her role as his agent, and her city. No family or role in any organization is set. The petition gives no address, and no record filed here gives her dates of birth or death.
