SHOOTING UNCOVERED AFTER
ATTEMPT TO COVER UP

An attempt by the American Ex-
press Co. officials to cover up a shoot
ing affair in the money room of the
company at 29 w. Monroe st. last
night, was frustrated by a passing
messenger boy who, hearing the shot,
called Policeman Michael Hurley,
Before the arrival of the policeman
the boy saw doctor enter the build
ing and later a wounded man leave
the offices of the express company
in taxi.
Upon being refused information
Hurley called the police station and
Detective O'Brien was sent over.
It was only after threatening R. L.
Shirk, the manager, with arrest that
O'Brien was told that Percy Watson,
851 Barry av., had been shot in the
shoulder by a fellow employe named
Mann after a quarrel.
