Gamblers Hire Gunner
To Protect Winners Roll
Men With Notches on Guns Escort
Money-Laden Players Home.

Gunner, who boast OF notches on
the grips OF their automatic pistols,
are now acting as police" for gam
bling house proprietors and patrons in
Philadelphia as protection against
bandits. Several bandits already have
been killed by these unknown ''po-
lice" as result of attempted hold
ups.
This unusual situation was brought
about in the Quaker City, police say,
when bandits began an organized war
against heavy winners in glambling
resorts. Proprietors OF game houses
notified the thieves to LAY off, but
their warnings were no use. Then the
gunner were hired.
Heavily armed men loiter in gam
bling halls for the express purpose OF
escorting players home with their
winnings. Men who made a living by
operating games were forced to pro-
vide protection; their business would
have stopped altogether if they had
not.
The first victim of the gunman-
bandit feud was an underworld char
acter named Pug Nose" Morrison, at
Philadelphia. Morrison attempted to
solicit" $4,000 from gambling
house proprietor and was elected
from the place. Ten minutes later he
was shot and killed as he walked
along the street. Police blame gun
men guards for the killing.
