Bombs and Politics
CHICAGO TRUCE BROKEN Buildings Shaken for Miles By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9.30 a.m. CHICAGO, Monday. THE week-end truce was broken by the sixty-seventh bombing since October. It blew out the rear of a two-storeyed house, which allegedly was used as one of the numerous alcohol-making establishments of Joe Montana.
The latter was closely associated with “Diamond Joe” Esposito, who recently assassinated Joe Thompson. The police endeavoured to blame the explosion on boot-legging instead of politics; but the majority of the public regarded it as a renewal of the campaign offensive.
The bomb was an unusually powerful one. It shook the buildings for miles around. Nobody was injured. Three men were arrested shortly after the explosion, but the police are reluctant to give information about them.—A. and N.Z.
