the 100000 reward for his capture,
"the most dangerous man alive, u

described accurately characteristics
of his appearance which did not
show in the photographs.
'He seemed all wrapped up in
the girl, whom he introduced as his
wife," she told police. "She really
was beautiful, with golden hair and
long curling eyelashes. He said they
were on their honeymoon"
Burke fled from his cozy bunga-

after killing policeman Charles
Skelly during trivial argument
over traffic accident. In his house
was found a veritable arsenal, $780,
900 in stolen bonds and many text

Reports from Chicago indicated
he was held in high esteem for his
scientific methods.
