Vengeance Guns of Gangs
Turned on Chicago Moll
Body of Feminine Judas Found
Shot and B..rned on Crime.
land Edge
First Time in Gangster Annals
Woman Has Been Taken
for Ride

Chicago, Aug. 17.-(R-Venge-
ance guns Of the gangs, ever drawn
against betrayers, appeared today
to have been turned for the first
time in years against a woman.
Police could not be sure that the
woman whose body was found in a
ditch near Crown Point, Ind, early
yesterday, was involved in Chicago
gangster intrigue, for Identification
was lacking early today. Their
theory was that the woman was
Adeline Zaccardo, "Girl Friend" Of
Angelo Francisco, whose body was
found early this week in the aban-
doned automobile which five men
had used in the robbery Of the West
McHenry State bank.
Identification was difficult be-
cause after the woman hid been
shot, her clothing was saturated
with oil and then set fire. The
single bullet in her jaw, the cor
oner said, probably did not cause
death, and she may have been con-
scious when fire was touched to her
clothing.
If it were Miss Zaccardo, the kill
ing could be explained on the theory
that she "knew too much," accord
ing to officers. It was she who tele-
phoned Francisco's parents, urging
them to look at the body Of the man
found in the robbers automobile,
thus providing positive identifica-
ton Of the man as Francisco.
In any event, even should the
theory that the woman was Miss
Zaccardo b. wrong, the crime bore
every mark of the gang killers
technique. It was apparent that the
woman had been taken for a ride, !"
which is the usual method employed
in getting an intended victim to a
desolate spot where he may be killed.
The bullet wound also indicated
gangster methods. Setting fire to the
clothing, however, was without pre-
cedent in modern gang killing.
It was the first time, too, that a
woman had been picked for assassin
alton by the "taken for q ride
method. While women have played
active parts in the careers Of many
notorious Chicago .gangsters, they
have for the most part remained in
the background so far as the public
has been concerned.
Efforts were being made today to
identify the woman slain near Grown
Point. There were, however, only a
few clues-a shred Of red crepe, a
fragment Of light gray hose, a piece
of fur, a silver buckle, and a few
stands of hair.
