    When Capone arrived in Atlanta, May 1932, he was diagnosed with syphilis, gonorrhea and a deviated septum from his years of cocaine addiction.
    Capone had been warned about having syphilis years earlier, when it could have been cured, but he declined treatment (some say he was afraid of needles).
    We actually know who the Polish-American sex worker was who passed on syphilis to Capone.
