The island was revealed as the machine gun target range of Chicago gangsters; the spot where they test- ed new firearms and perfected their marksmanship. A witness whose name was kept secret for fear of his being silenced by gunmen fear- ful of his revelations, identified the picture of a gang murder suspect as being of a man he had seen using a machine gun on the island hefore the massacre. The same Witness partly identified two others from among the photographs of suspects {1aid before him by Chicago detec- tives. Coincident with the evidence pre- sented in Rockford, the Coroner's jury got its first chance to question I'rank V. Thompson, the man be- lieved to have sold to gangsters the guns used in the septuple gang mur- der last February 14. Expect Solution to Massacre Thompson had been sought for a fortnight as a key witness in the murder investigation. He surrender- ed to the coroner late yesterday, en- tering the inquest room in the com- pany of a lawyer. He conferred pri- vately for several hours with Coro- ner Herman N. Bundesen, but the nature of his story was not made public. Dr. Bundesen, however, ap- peared in high spirits following the interview and said he believed “a way to solution of the massacre has been opened.” Dr. Bundesen ordered the arrest of Thompson and Peter Von Irant- zius, sporting goods dealer, who sold machine guns and other weapons to Thompson and others. Von Frant- us was asked how many guns he ad on hand February 14—the day of the massacre—and he replied that he had none. “How many have you had since “What became of them?

But I don't know to whom they went. He was just a man I had casually met, and I never did learn his name. “I never dealt with gangsters. I never knew a gangster in my life.” | Testimony taken at yesterday's sitting of the coroner's jury revealed that in the summer of 1927 three machine guns were sold to.the Haw- thorne Kennel club, in which Al Capone was interested. Former Al- derman Titus Haffa, recently sen- tenced to prison for liquor law vio- lations, also was named as the pur- chaser of a machine gun. STILL ALARM THIS A. M.
