AMERICAN UNDERWORLD
ANOTHER OUTBREAK OF WARFARE. 13 FATALITIES DURING WEEK-END. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) New York, June 2. Eleven gangsters and two policemen were killed over the week-end in one of the worst recrudescences of gang warfare ever recorded in the East and Middle Western States. Chicago led all the rest with three killings this morning when a machine-gun was trained and fired through a small suburban hotel window by one of the rival beer running factions. There were two other gang murders on Saturday, and five other underworld characters, including a woman, were wounded in to-day’s outbreak. Detroit reported that two police officers had been slain by bootleggers and three men killed by gangsters.
Passaic (New Jersey) reported that three notorious beer runners had been shot to death.
