Chicago gang violence claims another racketeer life
Chicago reports a fresh outbreak of gang conflict as John Hand, once linked to labor and Capone era figures, is found dead from a dum-dum bullet in Cicero after federal racketeering conviction and union expulsion. In Springfield a Catsar Sansone, tied to Cantello’s circle, is shot by raiders near his home. Hamilton sees George Murphy, hotel clerk, gunned down behind a fence in a possible liquor hijacking reprisal.
