Auction starts for Jackson Jr. capes, memorabilia

This undated photo provided by Texas-based Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers, Inc. shows a red cashmere cape with black mink trim that once belonged to former Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Sandi. It is among the items U.S. Marshals Service started selling in an online auction Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013, in its attempt to recoup part of the $750,000 in campaign funds the Chicago Democrat and his wife illegally spent. Both were handed prison terms last month. The auction runs through Sept. 26. (AP Photo/Courtesy Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers, Inc.) CHICAGO (AP) — A showy red cape drew more bids than framed autographs of Michael Jackson or Bruce Lee as a government auction of more than a dozen items forfeited by prison-bound former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. got underway Tuesday.
