legged gambling resort which nestled
against the sheridan Road elevated
platform.
Police believe the bomb was
hurled from the elevated station.
II crashed through the roof Of the
one-story structure and demolished
the interior.
Robert Reynolds, one Of the
owners. told investigators that he
had .sbeen having trouble with

Gently his home had been eIltered
by hoodlumH. Reynolds denied there

place since the police order 70

Meanwhile authorities continued
their investigation into the death
or Carmen Ferro. whose bullet-r1d.
died body WAS found yesterdRy on
d lonely road near Bensehville.
Ferro undoubtedly had been taken
for . ride BY Eangster enemies, po-
lice declared.
Amazing details Of the slain mans
double lifen were coming TO light
today. Ferro was known In his
neighborhood a. respectable manu-
facturer, honest and wen liked. he
lived quietly with his family In q
beautiful home on South Parkway.
But this picture OF amiable do
mesticity was suddenly wrecked by
Assistant United States Attorney
Daniel Anderson, who today painted
Ferro as the ring leader Of . large
and vicious band Of moonshiners.
Anderson revealed that FerrO, with
six Of his gang, was to have faced
Federal Judge Adam G. Cliffe next
Monday on q charge Of conspiracy
to violate the prohibition law.
These facts convinced police that
Ferro was just another victim In
the long list Of slain gangsters.
