CHICAGO, July 28.—A worthless $500 check, given a gang of West Side hoodlums, cost the life of Frank Hitchcock, who was found shot through the head less than two miles from his roadhouse in Burnham yes- terday. Police announced this as their be- lief after an investigation into the kill- ing of the former pal of “Scarface Al" Capone, gangster chieftain and bootlegger de luxe. Hitchcock, it was said, planned to reopen an inn closed 15 months ago by a Federal injunction, and for the last three months he had been stock- ing the place. The slaying was the thirteenth in the last 17 days. The roadhouse owner and his wife were seized as they stepped from their car by four men, believed to have been Itallans. Stripping Mrs. Hitchcock of diamonds valued at nearly $1,000 and $30 in money, the quartet tossed her husband into their car and disap- peared.
