Texas Tourists Die Under
Wheels When Auto Is
Demolished.

Two men, tourists from Browns
vile, Tex, were crushed beneath the
wheels of an inbound T. H., I. g. E.
interurban car, one and a half miles
east of the indianapolis city lin
its on the National road shortly be-
fore 10 this morning
The men, killed instantly when
the interurban struck their Ford
coupe broadsiGe, were identified
from the register of the Hoosier
tourists camp, where they had been
staying since May 20, as Charles
Kunscll, q, and j. H. Hays, go, both
of Brownsville.
Driving out of the Hoosier camp,
the two were squarely on the in
terurban tracks when the car struck
them. The AUTO was carried more
than $50 feet down the track, the
mems bodies being pinioned in the
wreckaee.
Chess CrosIey of Greenfield, mo-
tornataeef the inteTarban car, said
he applied his emergency airbfakes
once, setting the wheels, then re-
leased them when it appeared the
auto would cross the tracks safely.
Then, he said, he applied them a
second time, but was unable to avoid
the crash. John Mclaughlin of
Cambridge City was conductor.
John F. Robbins of Richmond,
staying at the tourist camp, who
said he witnessed the crash, related
that the Texans auto seemed to
come to a dead stop on the tracks
The wreckage and bodies could
not be removed until the interurban
was backed away. The car did not
leave the rails and no passengers
were injured.

alcohol racketeer, known as
"king OF the extortionists."

the University hospital, where they
are near death.

Five hours after this shooting five
man and one woman, meanwhile,
had dropped into the quiet dining
roor of the Manning hotel at Fox
Lake. summer resort. about thirty
miles north of Chicago. No other
guests we're present.
Hardly had the sleepy waiter
served them with sandwiches when
an automobile crunched up the
gravel path outside and stopped in
front of window. The black muz-
zle of a machine gun poked in
through the curtains.
It's unseen operator swung it in an
arc while it sprayed a stream OF
bullets into the heads and bodies of
the diners, who lurched, one by
one, to the floor.

George Druggan, brother Of Terry

table when the shooting started. He
was wounded seriously. So was Mrs.
Vivian McGinnis when she tried to
dodge the deadly aim of the execu-

The other member OF the party
apparently escaped by duckirg
under a window ledge. When the
shooting stopped and the murderers
drove away he lugged the uncon-
.cious forms of Druggar and MRS.
McGinris to his automobile. He
raced them thirty miles to Chicago,
placed them in the lobby of the uni
yersity hospital and hurried off be-

Druggan and Mrs. McGinnis were
hurt SO critically that they could
not tell about the murder, even had
they been willing.

All three organizations have been

ruined by the fire.
That Schroeder is alive was de-

Their declaration followed evidence
that Schroeder had been seen near
