BANGS RENEW WAR: 2 SLAIN N CHICAGO Former Henchman of McEr- lane and 0’Donnell Is One of Vietims. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, October 12.—A new flare- | wup of killings apparently has broken the peace that has reigned for months in the internecine gang strife on Chi- cago’s South Side. Two men were slain. James L. Quigley, said by police to have been a former partner of Frank McErlane and Edward “Spike” O'Don- nell, but more recently to have been their enemy, was cne of the victims. The other was Georgs Wilson, 33, once & policeman. He was found on a South Side street last night pierced by ma- chine gun and pistol bullets. Body Taken From Canal Quigley’s body was fished from a drainage canal at Lockport yesterday. He had been shot to death. Police be- lieve his death might have had some connection with the killing of Eddie Fitzgerald, chauffeur for McErlane and McErlane’s sweetheart, Marian Miller. Fitzgerald was dragged from a saloon and shot to death last Spring by a trio of men, one of whom was identified by ‘witnesses as Quigley. Later an’ attempt to slay Quigley with machine guns was made. McErlane and O'Donnell were suspected of the attack. The police said their theory gained ‘weight last Thursday when McErlane's automobile, scarred with bullets, was found near his stronghold. Inside was the body of Miss Miller. She had been shot to death, as had her two dogs. McErlane himself is missing and the police believed he, too, might have | been slain. They 'also advanced the | theory, however, McErlane might have killdd the woman. Formed His Own Gang. Quigley, the police said, recruited a gang of hoodlums of his own after withdrawing from the McErlane- O'Donnell combination, and began to encroach on the beer territory of his former associates. Wilson was a small-time liquor ped- dler, the police said. He was found by ‘three girls and was taken to a hospi- #al, where he died. He was arrested several years ago on a charge of extor- tion and more recently for participa- | tion in a robbery. He was believed by police to have been a member of the| Druggan-Lake West Side gang.
