The document said the arrest was for drunkenness while Kuchel had been in the midst of a sex act. Capell was indicted for the libel along with: Norman H. Krause, bar owner and ex-Los Angeles policeman, who in 1950 ''did'' arrest two people who worked in Kuchel's office for drunkenness; Jack Clemmons, a Los Angeles police sergeant until his resignation two weeks before his arrest; John F.

He changed his name when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy at the age of 13 to conceal his Italian heritage. Although he didn't serve in the armed forces during World War II, he was an inspector for War Production Board and had a life long interest in all things military. He married very young in 1935 and had one daughter by that marriage. He remarried in 1948 and raised 7 sons. He founded The Capell Employment Agency which grew to have 5 offices across New York City. Best known to the world for his hard line anti-communist writing, he also authored books such as "The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe". While living in Staten Island, he was active in the Kiwanis Club and the Big Brothers of America. After moving to Zarephath NJ in 1963, he became active in the Order of Saint John and published his own conservative newsletter called "The Herald of Freedom". As a controversial figure on the political scene, he was a highly sought after speaker and often appeared on radio and TV shows most notably in 1966 on the Alan Burke Show. The chief had both of his arms covered with tattoos while in the Navy and considered them an embarrassment in his later years. A lifelong heavy cigarette smoker, he died at the age of 73 from lung cancer. He is buried in the family plot in Somerset Hills Cemetery in Basking Ridge NJ." and "Just as a side note, his older brother Tony Chapelle was a famous photographer and photo journalist who was married to Dickie Chapelle who wrote about the Vietnam War for National Geographic in 1962 and was with the Marines on Iwo Jima during WW2."〕
