gang"-were attempting to gain con-

distribution business.
Assertion that $250,000 of Capone
money had been used to finance a
Detroit gang syndicate now in con-

Detroit area came from the Detroit
News. The paper said five breweries
already are owned by gangsters. It

The-syndicate needed money, the
News said, and $250,000 came from
the Capone "mob" in exchange for
stock in the breweries.
