Chicago March 3 Chief George Shippy of the Chicago police shot and killed an anarchist who invaded his home wounding the chief and injuring his son Harry who is seriously hurt. The assailant also shot the family coachman James Foley as the officer grappled for his weapon. The motive appears linked to recent police actions against anarchists and the Leo Heinriche case. Officials mounted a large manhunt with detectives from across the city and Italian quarter precautions were tightened. The assassin’s identity remains unknown though he matched a young, slim man described by lawmen.
