(By Central Press.)

CHICAGO. June TO- Martin Dur
kin, man-killer extraordinary, gun
man to the best Chicago trade. and
sheik to three lovely girls, has at last
come to justice. And, despite for
tunes turn against him, despite pow
erty that cramps his style and limits
the resources for his defense. he is
the same old Marty who joshed and
shot his way TO notoriety half year
ago.
The opening Of his trial in Chicago
lent an inspiriting color 10 the spring
court season. Chicago thrives on SEN
sational court affairs and il has been
months since there has been really
good one. OF course, there have been
murder eases and de luxe affairs
such as the Letter case. but nothing
of the spectacular, flesh and blood
sort that the Murder Capital of the
World so thoroughly appreciates.
In the Durkin trial sensations in
quantity were sprung. To begin with,
the picking Of the jury gave ample
indication of the kind of court battle
20 be expected. The prosecution
weeded out veniremen who do not
favor capital punishment and the de
fense as assiduously tried to find
men who are fathers of wayward
sons.
Although Durkin was held respon-
sible for the death Of three individ-
uals. this trial was concerned only
with his alleged murder of Edward
c. Shanahan, a federal agent.
Irma Sullivan is the ls-year- old
country blacksmith's daughter who
was swept off her feet by Durkin's
dazzling display Of wealth and love
making. She accompanied him rs his
bride on spectacular night across
the country and back to st. Louis,
where he finally was captured.
Betty Werner, the sweetheart for
when Durkin risked staying in Chi
cago several weeks after the Shan
ahan murder. shooting his way out
of three police traps. was called as
n state witness.
"Durkin is no Robin Hood" is the
summarizing opinion of Prosecutor
Blumenthal. He is a debaucher Of
women, and he was thief because
he would not work. He is one of the
shrewdest, most dangerous and most
desperate killers turned loose upon
Chicago in many years"
