House of West City mayor shot by Birger gang torn down
The one story white frame house where Mayor Joe Adams was shot on the porch in December 1926 near West City, Illinois, falls to progress as Interstate 57 expands. Ownership traces to Adams’ widow then niece Arian Adams, now vanished into land value. The structure stood as a relic of gang warfare days tied to Charlie Birger and the Shelton brothers, ending with Adams’ murder and Birger’s later execution.
