“KILL HIM ON SIGHT”

CHICAGO’S MOST DANGEROUS GUNMAN “Kill him on sight,” is tne instrucgiven to the police concerning diminutive “Baby Face” Doody, who is regarded as the deadliest gunman since killing became a local industry in. Chicago, says the New York correspondent of the “Daily Mail.” Doody, who is five feet four inches in height, and weighs only nine stone, is credited with having killed three men and seriously wounded several others within the past few months. His last exploit was a daylight hold-up in which he escaped with £l,lOO. The police, however, do not want him as a prisoner In the courts, but as au “exhibit” for a coroner's inquiry, because one of the three men he killed was a high police official named James Levy. Levy had recovered a stolen motorcar when suddenly two youths appeared. The officer cried, “Stick them up!” but the youths opened fire first and Levy fell dead. One of the pair was caught and he admitted that his companion was Doody. Doody will be a dangerous man to capture, for he boasts that he carries with hi.ip, a bottle of nitro glycerine—- ] "to blow up everyone when 1 am , pinched.’* |
