M—A)—A_ pol'ee army of 1,700 men mobilized against Chicago gangsters today, armed with motor cars, new weapons and shoot to |kill orders from Chief Morgan A. Collins.

Shoot Anyone Carrying Gun Chief Collins’ orders were to shoot on sight any person caught gun in hand, or involved in any violence in gangster haunts. “Capone's plea for peace doesn’, interest me or the Chicago police at all,” Mayor Dever declared, referring |to the quoted pleas for bootlegging peace, “because there is enough for all of us without being shot like janimals in the street,” from Al Ca- | bone, reputed wealthy vice lord. “Our 3 to put them all out of busi- he police are doing all in their power to put an end to gang war- fare,” the mayor said, defending the department and explaining the use- lessness of arresting Capone and idozens of others on mere suspicion ir, connection with Monday's slaying of Hymie "Weiss and Paddy Murray. Inquest Develops Little The inquest into the death of the | two gangsters, shot down by enfilad- jing machine gun fire which swept the Holy Name Cathedral and wound- ed three other men, developed little. There was testimony substantiating information to the police that Weiss was’ the victim’ of a double cross, and detectives also were interested in a report that Murray was employed | to lure Weiss into a trap and then was killed by his supposed allies. Names of all the jurors, in the trial of Joe Saltis and “Lefty” Koncil for ; the murder of a rival beer gangster were found in the investigation of , the Weiss-Murray shooting and the court opened the trial by asking each of the jurymen if he had been ap-' prouched or an uttempt made at in- timidation, receiving negative swers.
