WAUKEGANg Ill, Oct 81. -
George Bugs Moran, Scarface Al
Capone's chief rival for the spoila
of crime in Chicagos underworld
was arrested and sent to Jail today
as a common vagrant.
Immediately the wheels of justice
were set spinning to make it cer-
tain that he would be at the CONS
mand of Chicago authorities to cons
tribute what could be exacted from
him toward solution of such un~
solved mysteries as the st. Valen~

reporter.
Colonel A. v. Smith, states ats
torney of Lake county, swept aside
technicalities and prepared to sur
render Moran to Patrick Roche,
chief investigator for the Cook
county states attorney.
Found Fast Asleep
Moran's arrest in an Antioch res
sort by Colonel Smiths private in
veStigators occurred as a result Of
his ambition to return to Illinois,
and attempt to regain some of the
power he once eXerted in gang af-
fairs.
The murder of Lingle in June
caused Moran to abandon his wan
ing influence and run to cover. He
had been will O. the wisp since.
When Moran drove his automo-
bile up before Mrs. Elizabeth J. Cas-
sidy'S resort at Antioch Monday
night, George Hargrave, head of a.
detective agency, and five other men
were watching from the shadows
Moran went inside the house and
did not reappear. The detectives
waited outside for four hours, then
surrounded the resort whilea two of
their number went inside, revolverS
drawn.
Their caution was needless. Tired
from his drive from Minnesota,
Moran was fast asleep in a rear
room.
He had to be shaken several times
before he awakened.
Fails to Post $4,000 Bond
However, he was not entirely un-
prepared, for at his side the detec.
tives found a revolver.
Moran was rushed to North Chi
cago, Ill, arraigned before judge
Harold Taleet, charged with va
grancy and carrying concealed wea-
pons and his bond was set at
$4,000 Failing to furnish the bond

Chicago's most notorious gang Lead
ers.
He formerly ruled on the near
north side and was Capone's strong
est foe, but after seven of his men
were moved down by machine gun
fire in the st. Valentines day
slaughter and his chief lieutenant,
Jack Zuta, was killed in Wis

he fled.
