Three LieutenantS of Capone
Arrested in Car While Out
to Avenge Fox Lake Case

CHICAGO, June 3 GN.SO.-
Authorities today combed the
north side beer domain of George
Bugs" Moran in search Of the
body of another supposed ride
victim after q fusillade of II
shots were heard in an alley in
the rear of the Belmont Hotel.
Two men heard the shots and
saw the flashes of revolvers. I'm
mediately afterward an automo-
bile raced past a traffic police
man who said he saw the form
of a man, minus hat and coat,
Slumped beside the driver.
Police believe this is the
seventh man to be slain in the
new outbreak of warfare between
the Moran and "Scarface" AL
Capone gangs.
Roundup Nets $50
Instituting emergency means to
curb the war, police today had
in custody $50 gangsters, hood
lums and gunmen after one of
the most sweeping night round
ups in Chicago'S criminal history.
Driven by a fear that Sundays
massacre of three Capone men at
a Fox Lake summer resort would
bring a wave of deadly reprlSals,
police squads last night combed
the gang haunts and noodlum
points of rendezvous with the
result that scores were seized and
grilled. Many carried guns.
The main characters seized
were three lieutenants in the
"Scarface" Al Capone organiza-
ton. They were Machine Gun"
Jack McGurn, who was indicted
for the st. Valentines Day mas
sacre of six Moran gangSters;
frankie Foster and Israel Adel-
man.
Bent On ReprisaIs
The latter two were seized in
an automobile as they cruiSed
towards the west, bent, accord
ing to police, on a mission of re-
prisal for the Fox Lake massacre.
Frank Diamond, one Of Ca
phones chief henchmen, and four
others escaped when Foster and
Adelman were taken.
After questioning the latter
two police are convinced that
Diamonds automobile carried a
supply of guns and ammunition
with which the Capone men were
going to execute, the alleged re-
prisals.
Seizure of the Capone leaders
prevented a counter-offenslve to
avenge the machine gun raid at
the summer resort Sunday morn
ing when three men were killed
outright and George Druggan,
brother of the notorious Terry,
and Mrs. Vivian McGinniss were
probably fatally wounded, de-
tectives believe.
