Al Capone Marries Mae Josephine Coughlin

Al Capone married his wife Mae Coughlin at her family's church in Carroll Gardens on December 18, 1918, shortly after she gave birth to their first child. Popular myths … allege that Capone left Brooklyn to escape murder charges soon after his wedding. Newer research reveals that Capone moved out of New York around 1920 simply to try and make a better life for his new family. He worked a legitimate job as a bookkeeper in Baltimore before heading to Chicago at the behest of Johnny Torrio.
