ST. LOUIS, July 18.-Har-
ry T. Brundidge, reporter for
the st. Louis Star, in a copy
right story from Miami, Fla,
today said that Al Capone,
Chicago gang leader, had
given him the friendly advice
to clay off Chicago and the
money-hungry reporters"
Brundidge quoted Capone as tell
ing him that there were plenty of
newspaper men on the gang leaders
pay roll, that Chicago police knew
who killed Alfred Lingle, murdered
Tribune reporter. and that he. Ca
pone, is through with the racket.
Brundidge is to appear before a
Cook county grand jury Tuesday,
prepared to elaborate on charges he
made in a series Of articles that
severals Chicago newspaper men arc
engaged in racketeering practices.
The article also quoted Capone as
saying that mo matter what dope
you have to give that grand jury,
the boys will prove you're a liar and
a faker. You'll get trimming"
Capone told Brundidge, the story
said, that Lingle was his friend up
to the very day he died."
After discussing the assassination
of Lingle and activities of some
other Chicago newspaper men,
Brundidge said that suddenly the
big beer and bullet baron leaned
over, put his left arm around my
shoulders, and, with typical Latin
affection, squeezed me and said:
Listen, Harry, like your face.
Let me give you a hot tip; lay off
Chicago and the money-hungry re-
porters.
you're right, and because you're
right, you're wrong.

the backing of your newspaper, be-
cause it is too big proposition.
"'No one man ever will realize
just how big it is, SO lay off.
