Bold Bang in Chicago Tunnel Manhunt for Assailant of State's Attorney
United Press Dispatch from Chicago June 17 reports a dramatic area-wide manhunt in the loop tunnels after an attack on State's Attorney Robert A. Crowe. Detectives pursued a bushy-haired Italian suspect who fired on Crowe's office, injuring no one, while Curran fired back. Police, numbering in the hundreds, scoured the underground maze as crowds evacuated downtown and officials bolstered protection. The incident follows a crackdown on the Genne gang with hundreds detained and substantial bootlegging seizures.
