BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
CHICAGO, February 27-The second
automobile to be investigated by the
police on a theory that it might have
been the car used by the slayers of
seven members of the Moran gang was
found today in haywood, suburb.
1t had been partly demolished, APP
parently from an explosion, and was
standing in the street. In it the police
found note book bearing the name
of Al Weinshank, one of the men
slain, and Ted Newbury, one of the
suspects sought for questioning, along
with several shotgun shells, cap and
suit of overalls.
Police believed dynamite had been
placed under the hood Of the car which
was similar in appearance to police
squad cars, although of different make.
Witnesses had declared the car in
which the killers fled appeared to be
police machine.
Police See Plant"
Because of the names, shotgun shells
and other clues left in the machine the
police were skeptical, believing the auto
mobile to have been planted" purposely
to mislead them. They have about
reached the same conclusion concerning
a dismantled car found last week in q
burning garage and at first thought to
have been the death car They have
been unable to find the owner of the
first car, although they learned the
name of man who purchased it from
a dealer in used cars last November
In the haywood car police found a
gong similar to those used on squad
cars. Chicago detectives went to in
vestigate.
The State license plates on the ma
chine were found to have been stolen
from a resident of Argo, III. The first
three numbers we're 1877, the first
number of all police cars, leading au-
thorities to believe the license plates
had been selected for this reason. One
of the windows of the car was slotted
like those of police car to allow in
Sertion of the muzZle of a gun.
The note book found In the haywood
car also contained the names of several
cleaning and dyeing companies, sup
was connected in racketeering activities.
Numbers found on the transmission and
chassis were sent to the Peerless Motor
Car Co. at Cleveland to trace the
original owner of the machine.
Prosecutors Office Broken Into.
John E. Northup assistant States at
torney, today said nothing had been
taken from the States attorneys Office
by persons who had broken lock on
the door. 1t had been reported that
papers in connection with the gang
killings had been taken, but Attorney
Northup said although the lock on the
door had been forced or broken, nothing
was missing.
The Office was ranSacked few hours
after police had broadcast a general
order for the arrest of IT men in con-
nection with the Valentines day gang
murders.
Besides data dealing with the mas
sacre investigation, the files contained
documents used by the States attorney
in his inquiry into graft charges involv-
ing the Chicago sanitary district and
the Police Department.
Guard Is Ordered.
Swanson, who left yesterday for Bill
oxi, Miss, to recuperate from a recent
illness, gave orders that q close guard
be kept over the Offices.
Although newspapermen report hav-
ing seen George Bugs Moran. leader
of the gang of which the seven slain
men were members, he had not been
found by police today. Investigators
believe Moran can come close to nam
ing the slayers.
In an interview with Herald and
Examiner reporter several days ago,
Moran was quoted as saying: "Only
one gang kills like that-Capone's."
Because of the fact that there had
been no major arrests in the case, the
fear was expressed that the gang feud-
lists were working out their own mode
of vengeance; and that another gang
killing might write in blood the name
of the Valentines day assassins.
