ELECTION MURDER.
NEGRO CANDIDATE SHOT. ASSAILANTS, USE MACHINE-GUN. (United Press Association—Copyright). NEW YORK, April 11. Election day at Chicago ended with the brutal murder of a negro lawyer, Octavius Gronady, who was a successful candidate for Mr Duneen’s following for one of the city wards. He was with two friends in a motor-car, and was making a tour of polling places. Another car, flying the banners of the opposition candidate, drew alongside and fired a number of shots at Gronady who started a wild flight along the streets until he collided with a tree. The pursuing car came up and poured in machine-gun fire, fatally jvounding Gronady.—Australian Press Association.
