CHICAGO, March ga young
printer was slain and a tailor was
fatally wounded in two separate shoot
ings which puzzled police today In
neither case did preliminary inquiry
establish a motive.
Both crimes were deliberate. The
printer, Jasper Montalbano, was just
stepping from his automobile in front
Of his sisters home last night, when one
of two men who we're in another
machine fired four charges from a shot
gun at close range. Montalbano's
mother and sister found his almost de-
capitated body on the sidewalk
So far as police could learn. Montal-
bano was a hard working man, with no
gang connections.
An hour later, two men approached
Joseph SakalauSkas, tailor, and asked
him why he didn't sell them alcohol
You have the wrong person. i don't
sell alcohol" SakalauskaS told police
he replied. whereupon the men opened
fire with revolvers.
