Hardly-Protitable
Another notorious mobster has!
jhad meted out to him what so oftet
ihe meted out to others, and les
dead In Chicago after being shot
in the back by persons as yet un-|:
‘The dead man was Jack McGurn,
sald to have been at one time No.|'
|1 Killer of the Al Capone gang. ‘
He was supposed to be worth
several hundred thousand dollars
during the prosperous and mur-
derous prohibition days But he
died with $3.35 in his pockets, and
according to his wife that is about
all there was Jeft. Lately he had
deen picking up a Jittle change by
handling 50-cent bets on horse
jraces.
Not a very glorious end, wes St?
But it was a perfectly logical end,
jand justice hes been served even
jthough the law was violated by the
killers.
‘Al Capone on Alcatraz Island may
wonder sometimes if crime really’
does pay. If Jack McGurn's per-,
leonality haw survived his abrupt
itransiation into enother sphere of
lexistence he probably js quite sure
it does rot. —
