 Killed in Chicago Fight
GUN BLOCKS STRIKE CALL
Bullets Fired into Men When They Go to Site of New High School Building to Call for Cessation of Work by Journeymen.

Chicago, Aug. 21 R-Bernard Ruberry, known to police as a mys- terious power in the Chicago Jour- neyman Plumbers union. died to- day from bullet wounds suffered late yesterday at the time his union superior, Charles Mulcahy, was killed.
 Mulcahy, nationally known labor figure and business agent of the plumbers union, had gone with Ru- berry to the site of the new Lane Technical High school, ostensibly to call a strike because of the failure of a plumbing contracting company to discharge its superintendent, Charles Couchere, from the high school job.
 Police are seeking Couchere and Charles A. Stein, son of Carl Stein, who heads the contracting company employing Couchere.
 The elder Stein, chairman of the arbitration committee of the Build ing Construction Employers associa- ton. told police Mulcahy and Ru- berry came to his Loop office yes terday and demanded that Cour- chere be discharged. Stein said he refused to do this and that Null cahy then threatened to callNa strike on the construction job. The young CT Stein then went to notify Cour- chere.
 No Witnesses to Shooting
 No one at the construction site saw the shooting. One workman Couchere's office and that Q (min- Yes or so later he heard shots The workman said he went to the office and saw Ruberry lying out side, bleeding from wounds in the stomach. He found Mulcahy inside, dying.
 A youth at barbecue stand nearby heard the shooting and said he saw Ruberry stagger from the office. Two men ran from the office, the youth said, and drove away.
 Ruberry, at a hospital, refused to say who did the shooting. His con- ditioa was critical and last night. blood transfusion from union member was made in an effort to save his life.
 The Stein company head told po- lice that Mulcahy had once threat ened to kill Couchere during the construction of the Stevens hotel.

PACKARD CASE TRAIL
 LEADS TO HARTFORD
Vermont Prisoner May Be Man Wanted for De-
 serting Wife

Springfield, Vt, Aug. 21 Lp-Ner- mont authorities were today pur- suing the Ruby Chickering Green angle of their mystery case, which circles about the identity of the woman buried in Potter's field at Chester. A striking similarity be- tween the handwriting of Mrs. Green and that of a suicide note found near the mysterious dead woman was the latest clue to the unknown womans identity.
 Belief that the unidentified wom- an might be Mrs. Green. who disap- peared in 1926, was first announc- ed by States Attorney Lawrence S. Edgerton Tuesday, when he receiv- ed letter from Mrs. Greens moth CT, Mrs. Belle Chickering of Hard wick, stating that the woman might be her daughter. Further credence to the belief was expressed when former acQuaintances told him that Mrs. Green had two gold teeth as did ths dead woman and when Mrs. Chickering wrote MT. Edgerton that her daughter had had 10 teeth ex- tracted. The dead woman had 12 teeth missing.
 Meanwhile Hartford, Conn, po- lice were seeking Robert King, who is held on a statutory charge with Mrs. Catherine R. Packard, who some days ago blew up the theory that the dead woman was she when she reappeared after a years ab- sence. The Connecticut authorities sought a Robert King on a charge of wife desertion, but Edgerton said that he did not believe the man he held was the wanted person.
