even a special box that he used for matches to light his cigars. capone's surviving granddaughters say it's time to sell the stuff. and as lee cowan reports, the auction is stirring up interest and controversy. >> al capone was the cream of his crop. he was public enemy number one. >> reporter: he ruled the streets of chicago through fear during most of prohibition. and yet the last known photo of al capone is surprisingly gentle. taken a month before he died, it shows him embracing his wife mae and his three granddaughters on christmas day back in 1946. diane capone was just 3 back then. she is 77 now. >> because we have lived all our lives, my sisters and i, being very quiet about the family and not talking about our personal stories. >> reporter: and prohibition marched on, leaving the ugly scars of violence in its wake.

>> reporter: her grandfather was never convicted of anything other than tax evasion. but not being convicted of something doesn't always equate with innocence. it's why it's believed that capone was behind the bloody st. valentine's massacre. bloody by each mob standards. his nickname scar face was icy as chicago's wind. >> i can remember as a first grader going out to the playground and having people get off some of the playground equipment because let's go, here is capone. >> reporter: and you were how old then? >> i was 6. >> reporter: to her, al capone was only papa. >> there will be a lot of dry throats in chicago after this night's work. >> reporter: by the time diane o of business, locked up in alcatraz, the rock, set aside for the worst of the worst. >> when he came back from being in alcatraz, he had gone through quite a transformation. he lived out the out the rest of

his life trying to make amends, trying to make peace with god, and he believed he was given a second chance. >> reporter: he lived out that second chance, often in loungewear at his florida mansion west of miami beach. when he died of a heart attack hife was so grief stricken, she covered almost everything in the home with bedsheets. it was full of old pictures, fancy china, furniture. whatever bling was called back in the 1930s, al capone sure had a lot of it. >> this is just a regular tie clip that -- >> it's not just a regular tie clip. it's a very special tie clip. >> reporter: nearly 200 items, including the more provocative ones you might expect of a gangster go on the auction block this week. >> this gun was kind of his protection. and i think it saved his life on a number of occasions.

so he called it his sweetheart. >> reporter: and he carried this with him? >> as far as i know, yes. >> reporter: capone's semiautomatic colt is expected to go for hundreds of thousands of dollars. it's that part of his life, the mob boss part that intrigues people still. how do you square his two lives, his public persona as a gangster and his private persona as a grandfather? >> you know, i can't. clearly he was capable of compartmentalizing his life. >> reporter: do you think he was capable of murdering people? >> i have no idea. >> reporter: that's not the capone she knew. this is. >> to my dear son, well, son of my heart, here is dear father who loves you. >> reporter: one of the most personal items in the auction is this hand-written letter capone wrote to his son, diane's father while still imprisoned in alcatraz. >> until next week, give mother a nice big kiss for me and god

bless you both. your dear , that is the person my grandmother always knew he was. she never gave up hope. >> reporter: no matter how heartfelt it may sound, for some, the auction is almost heartbreaking. it's morally sort of murky, isn't it? >> it is. and i just find it as very offensive to the crime victims. >> reporter: nina besselman is a former california prosecutor. she has no connection to chicago or to capone, but she does have a connection to violence. her sister katina rose was murdered in 1979. and ever since, nina has been fighting to make sure it's victims who are remembered, not the criminals. >> and let's face it. an auction is for money. if they truly want people to know that he was a loving grandfather, truly wanted to know this other side of him, then put it in a museum. you should not profit off of

what i would call blood money. >> you know, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and i understand why some people might feel that way. i think we all make mistakes in life. some people make a lot bigger ones than others. >> reporter: if you could talk to people who may or may not have been victims of your grandfather's profession, what would you say to them? >> i don't know. i guess i would say i'm sorry. >> reporter: what ann capone has seen rummaging around the ghosts of her family's past is less about who al capone was and more about who she says her grandfather tried to become. >> even someone who has been the kind of sinner that he might have been, the fact that he could confess and try to make amends before his life ended, that's kind of hopeful, i think, for all of us.
