tiie age of street fighting and thfdw years in the ring to the deadj
lg] warfare of gangdom in the midi
die of the prohibition era. V
His "rise" to infamy as one of
the most deadly machine gunners
was accompanied always by the
menace of death. Many times he
narowiy escaped the vengeance
that overtook him last night. fif-
teen years after he became aligned
with the liquor gangs. I
REAL NAME GEBARDI.
His real name was Gebardi. He
took the name of McGurn for the
prira ring. He was 38 years old.
He became aligned with the
North Side gang in 1927. The
gang had been headed first by
Dean OBanion and includ dHyrnie Weiss and Vincerit

As he stood in a telephone booth

North Elders, and the immediate
two men entered the shop and.
fired on him with I. machine gun!
and a pistol. He survived two

JOINS CAPONE.
His answer was to ioin the ,
Capone gang as an active warrior
in years of battle. And identifi-cation of him by witnesses to thel
beginning of the St. Valentines
Day massacre of 1929 indicated
he took part in the most effective
battle against his former allies.
After the murder charge for the I
massacre was quashed he became}
involved in lesser difficulties withi
the law when federal agents seized -
him and his blonde alibi, LouiseIRolfe. June 25, 1929, on a Mam}
act charge resulting from thei
trip together to Florida.
IIISCAI-ES BY MARRIAGE. I
Though he was convicted andsentenced to two years in pl!i$O1'i,I
re escaped the penalty by an ap-
JBII to the United States Supreme
Court based on his marriage,
meanwhile, to Miss Rolfe. He had
been married previously to Mrs.
Helen Gebardl. but was divorced.
He had one child by that mar-

After repeal of prohibition Mc-
Gurn became I. gentleman of

at fashionable courses in amateur
tournaments. He bought the home
in Oak Park, and engaged in vari-
ous gambling enterprises.

MULTITUDE 0F MOTIVES.
Investilators advanced a mul-
titude of motives tor the merciless
slayings. The massacre, they de-
cided, could have been the climax
oi a boomegana "war; it could have
been retribution Ior Moran gang
attempts to muscle in on a lucra-
tive labor union, or it could have
been the extra-legal" settlement

Gum, who handled a go]! stick as}
adroitly as he did a machine gun,
went to Miami not only to indulge
in the his favorite game. but to

Instead of seeing iiitti alone.
however, McGurn was brought be-
fore a "committee" which dis-
played none of the genial cams-,
raderie which had marked their
relations in the rum-running pro-

i From that date McGurn lived
in constant fear of death.
Among members oi the "com-

and McGurn was not welcome.

is credited with machine-gunning

sters to death seven years ago and
as ellectiveiy "rubbing out" many

slaying was the discovery in the
automobile of a newspaper dated
December 38, and bearing the headline: I

Police recalled that Frank, "The

with Torrio. Torrid had his eye on

was heard saying to a procurer
friend one night on 22d street:
- I'm sick of the First ward.

Prohibition. coming along at about

It happened one evening when Al

came to Chicago in his best new
suit. and. sure enough, Johnny Tor-

for the overslzed boy trom Brooklyn

tion in Btirnham.
While young Capone watched du-
tifully at his post in Burnharn, with
his neat scar said to have been re-
ceived in a Brooklyn saloon! tor his
chevron, Big Jim Coloslmo was en-
joying the lucrative fruits of his
political success in the 22¢! street
district. Big Jim had come to Chl-
c-ago in the nineties and got himself
a job as water boy on a railroad
section gang. His next job, pushing
a broom through the streets ot the
First ward. gave the ambitious
youth much better social opportu-
nltles. with broom in hand he met
such colorful personales as Aids.
Michael -fink! Dink! Kenna and
"Bsthhouse John" Coughlin. and
it was a natural development for
Jim to shiit from broom-swinging to
vote-swinging. Ha rose to promi-

into a social and athletic club whic
could deliver as a unit at election
time and was as bridle-wise as a

All went well with the ring until
John Woodward and Werner H,
Rut! oered Ritten $1,000 to get
enough votes in the council license
committee to enable them to obtain
a license tor a cabaret to be named
The Stables, which they proposed
to open. Ritten informed Wood-
ward, who offered the bribe, that it
would cost at least $1.500. This
incident occurred in the summer of
1928.
Bitten: confession, given on Feb.
15, 1929, follows: _
,' The following day Woodward
came into my oice with the money,
but a few days later he asked tor it
again, stating he needed it for other
purposes. I returned it to him. A
tew days later he returned and
handed me back the money,

vorably both in the license commit-
tee and by the council. George

got $500, and I kept $500 for myself.
" A few days after my return tram
New Orleans in December, 1928,
Giebenhain called me by phone and
told me by all means to get in touch
with Ruff. I told him I would if I
could. Rut! had given Woodward
the _$l,5O0 paid us. The next day
1 arranged for a meeting with him
at the home ol a friend in north
Minneapolis and begged Rufl not
to mention my name in connection
with the cabaret license. I admit:

from Woodward, and declared to
Ruff that I would make everything
right with him alter the investiga-
tion had blown over it he would
remain silent. I told him I would
do anything in the world to keep
my name out of the papers in con-
nection wiih this matter.
He promised faithfully that he
would say nothing. This meeting
was in the afternoon. The next day
I called Frank Brunskili [then the
chief investigator for County Attor-
ney Floyd Olson, having been re-
moved by Mayor George Leach from
the post of chief of poiicej because
he was a very good friend of mine.
and asked him to see me.

"A few days later Cary arranged

I told the county attorney every-

was in the oice oi the county at-

I appearedbefore the grand {wry-
I was alone with the county attor-

county attorney told me he would
get rne into the zrand Jury room
as soon as the jury convened.
"Alter I had been in-the county
attorney's olce for a short time
Cary came in with a document
signed by Judge Bardwell granting
me complete immunity. Cary told
me I was absolutely clean on ev-
erything up to the time I went into
the grand jury room.
