Three handwritten letters by Al Capone and a gun he is believed to have used are coming up for auction next month, offering the winning bidders a glimpse into the notorious gangster’s life during Prohibition and his time in the Chicago Outfit.
Capone’s letters to his devoted friends, William and Lowrene Sells, who owned his favorite Wisconsin resort, mark some of the most pivotal moments in his time with the Chicago Outfit, said Gretchen Hause, vice president and senior specialist for books and manuscripts at Hindman Auctions, which will host the auction Nov. 9.
