’ GANGSTERS WOUND, KIDNAP ATTORNEY Car Draws Alongside of His and Pours Forty Slugs at Detroit Lawyer Detroit, Feb. 27—()—Underworld shotguns were turned last night on ‘Alfonso Sirica, 31 year old attorney, ‘who! defended James Fernando in the Jackie Thompson kidnaping case and who appeared at policé headquarters a few days ago as counsel for the ‘was shot to death Feb. 19. Dozen Slugs In Face Forty slugs were poured into Siri- ca’s automobile and a dozen or more hospital in a dying condition while detectives sought the connection which they believe exists between the shooting and the killing of two other members of the local Italian colony. A few hours before the lawyer was attacked detectives had established that the slain cafe owner, Arthur Cal- ifano, was an associate of Roy Gen- naro, who was fatally shot last Mon- day night and died clinging to the underworld code of silence. They learned Gennaro, of whom there was no local record, often had been seen with Califano in his cafe. Before the attack on Sirica it had been believed by police and federal authorities that the killing of Cali- fano was connected with the narcotic racket, Today, however, detectives were giving more serious considera- tion to a rumor Califano was killed because he refused to contribute to a fund being collected to finance an ap- peal for Fernando, who is serving a 30 to 60-year term for the kidnaping of the five-year old Thompson boy. Sirlca had obtained from the state supreme court a writ which gave him the right to appeal the conviction. Shooting Gangster Style ‘The shooting of Sirtca was in char- acteristic gangster fashion. The at- torney was driving on a comparative- ly quiet stréet. A small coupe drew alongside, and the volley was fired. ‘The attorney slumped over the wheel and the uncontrolled car, powered by fuel fed by a dying man’s foot, sped on half a block until stopped by col- lision with a parked machine. The slayers escaped.
