be brought from Alcatraz island
penitentiary to answer for the ghost-2
ly St. Valentines day massacre off
seven Moran gangsters here in 1929.}
This possibility loomed today iol-I

object of sending him n; the elec-

Since shortly otter Feb?--1-tr--4339,
Byron Bolton had been sought as one,

when a. letter addressed to him and,
postmarked It-om Thayer. 111., wasllfoundw in the room. At that timei
_?oliceman Frank hlorreli, designed totithe investigation, made a. trip to H
,'l._ayer. He round Bolton's pa.rents,~
o talned s. picture, and discovered that{B lton had been in the navy during' war. A

1 The picture later was identied Les;fthst ot the man who rented the roiilnl
where the death watch was kept.
1 Bolton's trail led next to St. Louis,
jthe town where both he and Burkel{got their starts with the Egan's Rate
gang. It was in St. Louis. apparently
that Bolton became asoctated with
the Arthur Barker-Alvin Karois gun ,

Burke and Goetz, according to the
reputed confession, were the two men
dressed as policemen. They were;i
gangs. l_.nd red one ot the machine ;
chosen, Bolton is reported to haveq
said. because they were not known to
the Moran gang. Believing them reali

The motive for the slaying, as B01-

volved the hiring ot Frankie Uale.

In addition, Policeman Morrcll, who
Jpent many months in his investiga-

Le Meyer. sssistsnt to the Probate
Judge of Cook County and s, noted

Tlii is c wonderful expose

to believe that Burke was con-
nected with the shooting and I

Feiix Str-eyc-iimans, former news-1pepermen and 1 practicing Chicagoi
attorney who woe-.s..|n.ember oi the-

"There are some phases oi-_ the
story that I d0nt_thlnk are quit-o
sccurabc. We definitely estab-
lished the fact that only two mo-
chine guns were used, although
Bolton claims that tour men cu-
rled them. However, it is possible
that only two oi the gun carriers
were the actual murderers. We
traced the shotgun shells to two
guns and afterward located them
Burkefs home.
1 L'ION'S PART CERTAIN. I
lDr, John V. McCormick, mem era { the jury and dean of the Laymla

Col. Albert A. Sprngtie blamed
Bolton's conscience for his contes-
. sion to the federal men. He said:

Bert M. M83566.-foreman of the
