He found the place where cells
are born and where they die. If they
escape being caught and eaten.
A NYBODY who imagines that

Eels had been one of the mysteries
of the ages to scientists.
The mystery was

So Charlie Birger southern Illinois
gang leader, answered my request for
a chance at photographing the war
that has been raging IN southern Illi-

followers and the shelton brothers

flivver bear witness. to how we'll he
kept his promise.
Arrangements We're made for the
trip at Birgers home in Harrisburg,

cars / was in my flivver.
The ~D0IIy man Hunt
This, they explained, was to be one
of their almost daily man hunts
through the section west of Harris
burg in search of the shelton gang
sters.
What would they do with if they
caught any Sheltonites? Cut their
throats and do a few other unmen-
tionable things, they said.
One of the Birger men rode with me
in my flivver, a sub-machine gun
across his knees. The other cars,
bristling with guns and gunner, went
on ahead.
The fast-traveling gang stopped at
every one of the many barbecue stands
and roa6houses along the way that
they suspected of harboring a Shelton-
ite. The procedure was the same at
each place.
The cars would draw up, and Bir
ger and his men would tumble out and
surround the place, pistols or machine
guns at the ready. Two or three of
Birgers men would rush inside, and
at the point of their guns order every"
one to Throw EN- up"
Each occupant of the place would
then be scrutinized None of the Shell
ton followers having been found, Bir-
gers boys would relax their guard
and laugh and joke with the men they
had just held UP.
The commands to throw lem up"
were promptly obeyed in most of the
places. In one, however, one of the

Then, as couldn't keep up with the
faster cars, I parked my flivver there
and claimbed into one of the big cars,
sitting at the side of Birger himself.
Birger, I fonnd, speaks three Ian
guages, was born in New York City,
has lived in Harrisburg for the last
IL years, owns seveGal farms there,
and is of the Jewish faith.
