SLAIN GUNMAN
RETURNS HOME
TO PLAY SANTA
Leo Mongoven, Full of Life,
Comes to His Wife
and Two Boys.
BIZ United Press

! BIZ UHited Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Leo Mon
goven, small town boy who became
a big town gangster, gunman and
beer runner. has escaped his execu-
toners bullets, and still lives, the
United Press learned today.
Although it is true, as Chicago
newspaper reported recently, that
the chief assistant to Bugs Morgan
was marked for death last May, and
walked, half knowingly, into trap,
NIongoven was not slain. He was
wounded.
One story has it that for days he
was near death, so successful was
the machine gun craftsmanship Of
his enemies. At any rate, he even
tually recovered.
Wednesday, he appeared at his
home in Villa Park, suburb and
PLAYED Santa Claus to his two boys.
He Likes to Play Santa
Mongoven's enemies SUSPECTED
that he had cheated them of the
death they had planned. They were
not certain, and Mongoven added
to the doubt, by remaining absent
from old scenes. This gave rise to
the rumor that he was dead
But Mongoven, despite his be-
ing chief assistant to Moran when
that north side gang leader was Al
Capone's formidable rival, likes to
play Santa Claus. He also likes to
exercise his dog.
To those two circumstances are
due the knowledge that he is alive.
Prior to his voluntary withdrawal
from gang circles, Hangover main
tained headquarters at a west side
hotel. Few knew that he had real
home elsewhere.
Home on Quiet Street
That home is a green and white
bungalow on quiet street in
Dupage county town, Villa Park,
eighteen miles west of Chicago. 1t
is occupied by Mrs. Mongoven and
the two young Mongoven boys.
The Mongoven home is modest,
its interior eXpensively, but simply
furnished, and none would suspect
the attractive housewife of being
other than widow of modest in
come.
The Mongoven'S neighbors are
not more than ordinarily curious
about what goes on at the bunga-
low, so no one noticed just when
it was this week that a man who
had not been seen for long time
arrived.
His Sentiment Barred
1t wasn't until the man took the
Mongoven dog for a long walk on
Christmas day that he was recog-
nized. 1t was Mongoven himself, and
he whistled cheerfully.
The Mongoven boys ran from the
house the same afternoon, and
joined the other children of the
neighborhood at play, eager to tell
of all the Christmas presents Santa
Claus had left them.
The Santa Claus was Mongoven,
who was sentimental enough to
choose Christmas week for his re-
turn to his own fireside-at the time
his death" was being announced
belatedly in newspaper headlines.

several loaves Of bread and canned

OF the clothing except that which
he was wearing were taken. He
missed nothing else.
