ANOTHER MURDER
NEW YORK GANG WARFARE,
BODY BURIED IN QUICKLIME
(United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.35 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 5.
The gang warfare for the control of New York’s underworld added to its victims to-day, when the body of a murdered man was found in a rural section 100 miles from New York, identified as that of Charles Sherman, known as “The Chinaman,” who was closely associated with Schultz, “Waxey” Gordon and other prominent gangsters. Sherman was shot, his head being crushed with an axe and his nude body- buried in quicklime,, apparently in the hope that it would not he found.
The police believe that the assassination, like that of Schultz, both the Ambergs, and others recently was’the work of a secret organisation known as “Union Sieiliano,” whose leader, Charles Luciano, is reported to have gone to Miami to avoid arrest in New York.
