Two Officers and Gangster Die in Chicago Gunfight
In Chicago on June 13 a gun battle left police Sergeant Charles Wailish and Sergeant H Olson dead and gangster Michael Genna killed. A fourth officer, Sergeant Michel Conway, was seriously wounded and may die, along with other gang members John Seale and Albert Anmalie. Police say the clash followed a chase on Western Avenue, ending when the suspects crashed into an iron fence. William Sweeney fought to capture the gang, and the killings may spark further police action against bootleggers and gunmen.
