ANOTHER VICTIM

GANG WARFARE IN NEW YORK. BODY FOUND IN QUICK-LIME. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) New York, November 5. Gang warfare for the control of New York’s underworld added to its victims to-day when tlje body of a murdered man found in a rural section 100 miles from New York was identified as that of Charles Sherman, known as “the Chinaman,” who was closely associated with Schultz, Waxey Gordon and other prominent gangsters. Sherman was shot and his head crushed with an axe, his nude body being buried in quick-lime apparently in the hope that it would never be found. The police believed that his assassination, like those of Schultz, both the Arnbergs and others recently, was the work of a secret organization known as “Union Siciliano,” whose leader, Charles Luciano, is reported to have gone to Miami to avoid arrest in New York.
