He was once the head of the gang of which Capone is chief. The government alleges Capone failed to pay taxes on a six year in- come of $1,038,654 derived from his liquor, gambling and vice interests. ‘There are- six felony and two mis- demeanor counts in the indictment. If he is convicted on all of them he will face a maximum sentence of 32 years and a fine of $80,000. ‘A conviction, with Capone on his way to a cell in Leavenworth, Kan., within a few weeks, was predicted by federal officials as the outcome of the gang chief's challenge to the govern- jment to prove him guilty.

Those found dead were: Frank Boschert, 60, Burlington; his son, Herbert, 30; Herbert’s son, Bob- by, 18 months old; and Miss Celia Kerman, 18, employed on the farm. The adults had been killed by shot- gun slugs and the baby was beaten to death with a hammer. Herbert’s wife, ill in a Burlington hospital, has not yet been told of the killings. The elder Boschert, owner of the farm, lived in Burlington with his wife. He had gone to the farm to visit his son. Gray fled from the Boschert farm in the Boschert automobile. He was arrested when he was found in a soft drink parlor here. “Bure I done it,” he was quoted as saying: “And I ain’t sorry.

Brown said, con- fessed the abduction. Fears their contact man would “squeal” on them, Chief Thomas A. {Brown said, prompted the four who ikidnaped Gleckman for $200,000 ran- {som and got only $6,400 to take Frank La Pre for a ride Saturday night. They found his body early Sun- day, skull bashed in, face bruised and bloody, and his head perforated by a bullet, at a roadside four miles from Several hours later about 40 men and women were in jail including the four Brown later said confessed. One, Sam Cimin, who has served time for violating the prohibition law, he ac- cused of doing the actual slaying. Name Others In Party Anthony Scandale, Joseph Jurley, and Alfred Talerioco, the police chief said, were with Cimin when La Pre was coaxed into an automobile, beat up, taken out of town and killed. A fifth man, Albert A. Robbins, schoolmate and neighbor of Gleck- man, also was held. Robbins some time ago was convicted of violating the state blue sky law in connection with the Ten Thousand Lakes Fur Farms stock selling fraud. As Chief Brown reconstructed the kidnaping and slaying, the gang spied upon Gleckman several days from Robbins’ home. Sept. 24 they crowd- ed his automobile to the curb, jump- ed in and after blindfolding and gag- ging the man who once served a term in Leavenworth for liquor law viola~ tion, drove into northern Wisconsin. They took $1,400 from him. ‘Held prisoner in a log cabin, he was compelled to pen three letters each Roisner, a the work of the farm on me. I killed the others so there wouldn't be any witnesses.” “The whole thing in a nutshell was those cows,” Gray said in his confes- sion. He added he and Herbert had quarreled violently Saturday. “He made me do all the work,” Gray said. “And his wife was always talking about my drinking. Frank was the best friend I had.” Gray said he put the cows in the barn after the slayings, changed his clothes and went to Kenosha. Police said Miss Kerkman had been assaulted criminally.

Chief Brown planned to go to Wis- consin Monday in an effort to round up several Wisconsin men he ‘suspect- ed to being members of the kidna) ers’ band and also to recover the $6,- 400 supposed to have been cached where Gleckman was held prisoner eight days.
