IN AGONY.
“CRUELLEST KILLER” DIES Chicago, Oct, 15. Cruellest of Chicago killers, Frank McErlane, who was the Inventor of the “one-way ride,” died to-day from pneumonia, with fear driving him on to an agonised end; Pour men struggled with McErlane as he writhed and tossed in a delirium in which he shouted his fear of a threatening speotre. His fevered imagination may have called up a vision of one of the many whom he slew during his 21 i years as a gangster. Perhaps it was the spectre of Marion Miller, known as Elfrieda McErlane, his common-law wife whom he shot dead a year ago today after taking her on one of his “one-way rides.”
