CHICAGO’S GANG WARFARE.

LINGLE ECHO. (Sun Special). CHICAGO, August 15. Gangsters’ implacable pursuit of. their rivals has caused the 50th death in the city’s gang warfare this year.. Jack Zuta was the business manager for the Moran faction, and was Warned by several detectives for planning-, the murder of Arthur Lingle, crime specialist on the Chicago Tribune, to revenge himself on “Scarface” Al.. Capone, another gangster. A month ago, Zuta, fearing assassination, asked for police aid. A carload, of killers drew alongside the police car in which Zula was being conveyed across the Loop district. Their bullets poured into the police car, a stray shot killing a passing'Tram-driver, but Zuta and the escort escaped. ' He went into hiding under the name of Goodman at Capone’s summer resort at Helafield(Wisconsin). On Saturday, after midnight, eight men strode across the floor of the dance hall, where Zuta, smiling, stood, feeding coins into a mechanical piano. “There he is,” calmly spoke the leader of the invaders, unlimbering a machine gun. The dancers stood aghast as the killers, standing over their fallen victim, tilled the body with lead. “Well, that’s that,” exclaimed tha leader, as the party, withdrawing without haste, apologised for. disturbing the dance.
