LAWLESS CHICAGO
SORRY RECORD OF BOMBINGS. SIXTY-SEVEN SINCE OCTOBER. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, April 9. The week-end truce in Chicago was broken by the sixty-seventh combing since October,' which blew out the rear of a two-storey house, which was allegely used as one of the numerous alcohol-making estalishments of Joe Montana. The latter was closely associated with “ Diamond Joe ” Esposito, who recently assassinated Joe Thompson. The police endeavoured to blame the explosion on bootlegging instead of politics, but the majority of the public regard it as a renewal of the campaign offensive. The bomb was an unusually powerful one, and shook the buildings for miles around. Nobody was injured. Three men were arrested after the explosion, but the police are reluctant to give information. —Australian Press Association.
