Yes, We Do i . Opp. Burritt Hotel Td shaper | MANY THEORIESFOR MCRDER ADVANCED Nine Cars Blocked Tralfic While Slayers Bscaped | Chicago, Nov, 11.—Gang rivalry, Leer runners' feuds, gambling trou- bles and a fight for lleutenants of vival gangs over a woman were the- orles followed by police today in thelr search for the three men who |yesterday shot and killed Dion | O’'Bannion, notorlous gunman and gangster, in his flower shop. While they spught Mike Carrozo, {labor leader, and Margaret Collins, {pretty blonde, involved in a fight eight months ago with Louis Altiere, and John Bates, alleged lleutenants |of O'Bannion, the police took pre- | cautions to prevent more killings in | reprisal. All known anemies of O'Bannion | questioned after the shooting had {been released today when they sat- isfled investigators they had no con- nection with it. But as police in- |quiry progressed it was disclosed that more than the three men who |fled after firing six bullets into | O'Bannion may have been involved I\I\ the actual slaying. 28 Men Involved A theory that possibly 28 men, {nsing nine automobiles, effectively | blocked traffic in the vicinity of the | fiorist shop while the slayers escaped |in their automobile was evolved af- |ter witnesses were questioned. The | blockading automobiles, given scant |attention at the time paused at street intersections only long enough |to permit the three men to speed |away, the hypothesis held. Through the night detectives and state's attorneys questioned suspects, later releasing them. Among them were Herschle ,Max and Davie Miller |all eworn enemies of O'Bannion. | While they expressed eatisfaction at his death, they denied connection with it. ©O'Bannion had been accus- |ed of hombing Henscle Miller's dry |ceaning plant and of attempting to |shoot to death Herschie and Dave in front of a downtown theater. Farl Weliss, John Torrio, Vincent Drucca, Altiere and “Yankee' | Schwartz, all frequently questioned lin connection with hi-jacking and beer running troubles, were ques- tioned and freed. | Search today also was being made for David Loftis, chauffeur at the | flower shop, Who commandeered an automobile and pursued the slayers | and had not been een since. | Morgan A. Rollins, police chief, declared the death of O'Bannion rid Chicago of “its arch criminal.|” | Was Arch Criminal “1 don’t doubt that O'Bannion was responsible for at least 25 mur- ders in this city,” he said. Often under suspicion and ques- {tioned, O'Bannion never was tried |for murder. Occoslonally when he |was named {n connection with a kill- |ng, he would appear voluntarily. | *“Why, I'm a florist,” he would say, “If I've ever been in the booze racket, I'm out now."” That was his statement when questioned in connection with the deaths of Maybelle Exley Duffy and John Duffy, whose deaths remain unsolved. Similar statements were his when ‘authorities asked him about the deathof alleged beer runners and gunmen. Around the corner where he met Heaters Electric Heaters Stoves PHONE 381 death, O'Bannion sold papers as a boy of 10. Later an injury erippled him for life. When beer running and liquor selling supplanted gam- bling concessions as gang activities, O'Bannlon got notoriety because of a marksmanship he * perfected by shooting at doorknobs in saloons, He acquired much wealth and never was known to take a drink of beer or whiskey, investigators found. CALLED T0 DOOR THEN SHOT DEAD Los Angeles Man Is Mysterionsly Murdered Los Angeles, Nov. 11.—The iden- | tity of the person who shot and kill- ed Harry I. Katz, musician, art col- lector, real estate operator and purs veyor of diamonds to the motion pie- ture colony, as he opened the door of his apartment in a residence dis- trict here last, remained as much of a mystery today as it was a few minutes after the shooting. By following up the threads of the man's various activities police hoped | to discover a motive for the slaying. The results of a night of investiga- tion left wunsettled the qpestion whether money, dlamonds, a woman, or disputes centering about a Ger- man-built yacht lay at the bottom of the killing. Katz died of a .32 calibre revolver wound in the neck a moment after tenants of the apartment house heard a shdt and came to his assist- ance. Four witnesses told police they heard a man running out of | the building. Acquaintances of the slain man revealed that he had purchased for $50,000 the apartment house in which he lived, paying most of the purchase price in diamonds; that he had bought a German-built yacht ahout three months ago, also with diamonds; that men he employed oft that yacht had quarreled with him over money due them; that he had numerous women callers; that he was In some eort of financial diffi- culty and was planning to sell his yacht; and that he habitually car- ried preclous gems about with him, finding buyers in the motion picture colony here. On Katz's fingers when he dled were diamond rings; a diamond stickpin was in his cravat; other | gems were found in his pockets. The i presence of these valuables on his person indicates that robbery was not the motive for the slaying.
