GANGSTERS AND G-MEN
TWO CRIMINALS SHOT SCENES IN AMERICAN TOWN NEW YORK, Oct. 12. A Bangorme message states that two gangsters were killed and one G-man was wounded in a spectacular gun battle in a street, imperilling and routing pedestrians and motorists en route to work. The dead are: Alfred Brady, accused of slaying two Indiana policemen, and Clarence Shaffer, a confederate. The G-man, Walter Walsh, was sent to hospital with a wound in the chest.
G-men, informed that gangsters were intending to seize ammunition from a shop, had placed themselves in the vicinity and surrounded the gangsters, who fired when ordered to surrender. Brady, the so-called new Dillinger, terrorised Indiana for months by committing a series of robberies and murders.
