Historical Data	Albert Marco, born Marco Albori, was an Italian bootlegger who was active in Los Angeles during the Prohibition Era in the 1920s. Marco worked closely with Charles H. Crawford, who ran city politics along with Kent Kane Parrot, a powerful attorney involved in city politics. On June 28, 1928 Marco was arrested and put on trial for assault with a deadly weapon when he shot Dominic Conterno and Harry Judson. He was found guilty on two counts and was sentenced to two seven-year terms. He was paroled in 1933 and deported to Italy. He returned to Los Angeles in 1937 hoping to permanently stay in the United States, but he was denied and ordered to return to Italy.
Description	First photograph caption dated April 7, 1933 reads "Albert Marco, asserted former Los Angeles 'vice lord' who was scheduled to be freed from San Quentin prison today on parole, met with unexpected delay when the prison board decided to await definite instructions from the supreme court before taking definite action. Marco served a term on conviction of assault with a deadly weapon."; Second photograph caption dated July 11, 1936 reads "Photo shows Albert Marco, former Los Angeles vice czar, who today made a bid in a San Francisco court to return to the United States from Italy, where he was exiled as a condition of his parole from prison. Marco asks that the state prison board be compelled to discharge him from parole."
