KILL POLICEMAN-WITNESS. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. COPYRIGHT.] CHICAGO, May 1. Gangland took revenge on the chief witness against Leo Brothers, who was recently convicted of the Lingle murder. He was a policeman, Anthony Ruthy, who gave eye-witness testimony. He was killed in a pistol battle on the Michigan Boulevard. Another officer was shot, but he probably will recover. Frank Jordan, a gangster with a specialty for robbing banks, was later captured by three other policemen, after a wild shooting melee, in which pedestrians ducked from the sidewalk. .
