Three Die in Los Angeles Gangland Shootout
In Los Angeles, three suspected members of local bootlegging combines were shot to death in a move linked to Chicago liquor interests invading Hollywood. Meager, 40, known as the "big shot" of the Hollywood rum domain, and a companion died in Meager’s sedan after a volley of shots near his home. A Long Beach victim, shot in the face, lay in a large car driven to the San Gabriel river bridge. Police noted four muffled shots and debated whether the driver was killed by a passenger. The killings followed anonymous calls threatening Meager. Authorities link Chicago fences to the loot and recent jewelry robberies involving stars like Betty Compson.
