DUAL LIFE OF

BY HIS MURDER

CHICAGO, April 25. U.R - Amid
an atmosphere of the respected pro
>tcssion which allegedly masked an
alliance with the underworld, DIR.
Frank l.. Brady 32 year old dentist,
paid with his life last night, pre-
sumably for gangland betrayal.
a man with "A jumping tOothache
was in the dentists chair in an ad-
iacent room. \ woman patient, re-
covering from a local anesia, and
DIR. X. b. Best, a professional asSo-
ciatc, stood by in DR.. Brady's pri-
vatc office while two cursing gun
men fired two bullets through the
heart of the cringing dentist.
Within two hours after the muir
der detectives claimed they had un-
covered an amazing story of the dual
life of a reputable dentist whose
criminal associations led back
through nearly 10 years dealings
with safe blowers, dope peddlers and
gangsters. Dr. Brady, they said, had
compounded an acid which erased
characters on stolen securities. He
was the son of Mrs. Anna Beau.
champ, an alleged dccoy of "A noto-
rious bank robber, Henry J. "Mid-
get' Fernckes, and had dealt with
Fcrnckes after his mother had com
mitted suicide when her associations
with the robber were revealed in his
trial.
Out of this past, police arrived at
two theories. The predominant one
was that the dentist was slain for
bctraying his associates in dispos-
ing of quantities of bonds or because
he refused to aid Fernekes in an at
tempt to escape from Joliet prison
where the "Midget' now is con
fined The other theory was that he
was slain by addicts whom he had
supplied with drugs.
