Victim Believed Relative of
HoodIum, Inventor of
Doom Trip.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. "a woman
about 80, believed to be Frieda Nc
Erlane, related to Frank McErlane,
inventor of the "one-way gang ride
and known as one of the toughest
hoodlums in Chicago, was found
shot to death today in parked
automobile.
The machine, an expensive sedan,
was licensed to Frieda McErlane, at
an address which is that of Nicer
lane a few blocks from the STAY
ing scene.
The woman died in a typical
gangster murder setting and in a
manner indicating that savage
vengeance was behind the pistol Or
machine gun that riddled her body
with bullets. Her body was found
in the rear of the sedan.
Dogs Also Killed
The automobile was punctured
with fifteen bullets. Two dogs,
killed in the gun fire that killed the
woman, lay at her feet.
The woman's body, stretched out
in an attitude of attempted escape,
was found by neighbors. 1t had
not been identified two hours later.
The number of bullets in the
automobile indicated that either a
submachine guns deadly fire had
raked it or else more than one pis-
toll had been fired. The bullets ap-
parently were of one caliber-.38
or As.
Companion Is Missing
In the absence of details and
identification, detectives were
thrown back upon conjecture. They
believed that the woman's presence
in the rear seat indicated she had
not been alone when the big auto
mobile stopped in the quiet resi-
Dental neighborhood
What became of her companion
if she had any, was a puzzle.
Search was started for McErlane
on the suspicion that he may have
been the second person in the auto
mobile, but he was missing. His
home gave evidence. however, of a
party.
