GANGSTER’S LUXURY
GOLD & SILVER DINNER SERVICE NEW YORK. Nov. 8. The luxurious and exotic life led by Chicago’s leading gangsters has been strikingly shown in n police raid on the North .Side flat of Terry Druggan, one of Chicago's richest underworld leaders. Two dinner services, one nf gold and the other of silver, were found in the richly-furnished suite of rooms. Rugs, curtains, and draperies were of the finest weave and material, while a toilet set of hammered l silver was engraved with the name “Terry Drugfift'-” The library contained complete sets of Shakespeare, Thackeray, arid Dickens, bound in tooled morocco leather. In a wardrobe were 25 suits, offering as many changes as would suit a woman of fashion. There were also 16 pairs of shoes. Detectives seized a quantity of letters and records, arid one letter addressed to Druggan apparently contained, an offer to kill the gangster Scarf ace A 1 Capone. Judge Lyle to-day ordered Druggnn’s arrest and forfeited his £2QCO hail on a vugrancy charge.
