CHICAGO SLAYING LAID TO BEER WAR Reputed Lieutenant of Rival " Gang Is Killed—Police Seek Joey Gainsky. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, April 22.—A South Side beer war was blamed by police today for a new flare-up of gangland shoot- ings, in which Edward Fitzgerald, 31, reputed chief lieutenant for Frank McErlane, a “public enemy,” was slain. Shotgun and pistol bullets were fired into his body as he attempted to flee late yesterday from five men who called saloon in an automobile and seized him. The killers escaped. Edward Courtney, Fitzgerald's com- panion, who also tried to escape from the men, was severely beaten. He was taken to a hospital. “Nix, Joey,” Fitzgerald is reported to have said when he saw the killers' au- tomobile outside the salocn. “You aren't going to take me for a ride.” A moment later, however, he was dead. Police said they were looking for Joey Gainsky, a member of the gang of Edward “Spi ‘O’Donnell, South Side beer runner. There was a split-up recently in the ©O'Donnell gang, police said, when Mc- Erlane withdrew to set himself up as a competitor with the O'Donnell organi- gation, Fitzgerald and Courtney cast- ing their lot with McErlane. In addition to the beer war theory, the police speculated on the pessibility that the shooting might have been a reprisal for attempts to kill Steve O'Donnell, brother of “Spike.” Steve recently reported to police that he had been fired upon twice in one night. He escaped unhurt. The slain man at one time was ac- cused, with McErlane, of participating in the slaying at Crown Point, Ind., eight years ago, of Thad Fancher. GIRL'S DEATH LINKED WITH MARINE PRIVATE 17-Year-01d San Diego Girl Leaves Notes—Police Doubt Suicide Theory. By the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., ‘April 22.—Offi- cers sought an unidentified Marine Corps private yesterday for questioning in the death of Louise Teuber, 17, whose body was found hanging from a tree Sunday. Police said a girl, whose name was withheld, had reported Miss Teuber was either engaged or married to the service man, stationed on a vessel in Los Angeles Harbor, No definite clues to the slayer's iden- tity had been found after two days of investigation. Autopsy surgeons report- ed the girl had not been criminally as- saulted. Among the men questioned yesterday ‘was a photographer for whom, police said, Miss Teuber had posed for "art” pictures. State criminologists, baffled by the murder of Virginia Brooks, 10-year-old schoalgirl, whose body was found north of the city last March 12, joined city and county officers in an effort to trace the killer. Miss Teuber’s body was found by a picnie party. The former five-and-ten- cent store salesgirl had left notes to her father and sister, saying she was going away. Investigators theorized that her slayer knew of this and made & clumsy attempt to make her death sppear a suicide.
