Gangster Flat Raids Lead to Chicago Raid on Gang
Chicago police and federal agents seized six suspected gangsters in a spectacular raid on a downtown East St. Louis location described as a gangster flat. The six, connected to the Cuckoo and Shelton gangs and allied with Fred Burke's circle, faced charges for more than 60 bank robberies across Illinois Iowa Wisconsin and Nebraska. They were transported under heavy guard toward Chicago with stops en route, amid a nationwide, eight month investigation led by the postal department and aided by Chicago police and highway patrol. The group is linked to several high profile crimes including the Lincoln Nebraska bank raid of 1930 and various kidnap schemes. Their names were listed as Tommy Hayes Thomas O Connor Jack Britt Howard Lee E Hawks and Lila McQuillan.
