DOES NOT STOP MURDERS GANG-CHiEF SHOT (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) (By Cable-Press A sen.—Copyright.) CHICAGO, March 8. Despite the fact that a hundred thousand citizens gathered last night for the special church services dedicated to praying that this city “may be purged of vice and corruption,” gunmen are continuing the warfare. Three men, armed with revolver and machine gun, fatally wounded Jack McGurn, Chief Lieut, of the Scarface Caponic forces, near the flower shop, where the assassination of Dean Obanion began the long list of the gang war deaths three years ago. The .shooting occurred at a gamblingresort. One of the bystanders was wounded. The killers escaped. McGurn refuses to speak more than to demand that a lawyer be brought to him.
