seized the ‘bowling sheet on which
their names had been written and
raced each other to the door,
When the patrons and Aloisio |
and Mascarella emerged from
cover they saw McGurn lying on
the floor at the head of alley No.
1, He was dead.
That was enough for the pa-
trons. They took their coats and
hats and ran.

were in the place with the dead
“Machine Gun" Jack when police
arrived

McGurn was on his back, a
pool of blood spreading out from
