Mrs. Webber refused to reveal
what the feelings Of the parents
were in the case now, but said
that Immediately after Mrs

She said:

could not stop it, and, now hat
it has gone this far, there Is
nothing we can do. But we

Mrs. Weber said her mother
was ill as a result of grief and

Mrs. Emily Mulcher, alleged COM
mon-law wife of Mike de Pike"
Heitler, and Coleman Dutch"
Heitler, his brother, today con-
firmed authenticity of the slain

Both expressed fears for their
lives following publication OF the

q shake-up in police and political
circles.
CapOne Gang Cited
Mrs. Mulcher admitted the let
ter was similar to one she re-
ceived from Mike de Pike" three
days before he disappeared.

intimidation, extortion and manip-
ulation of political influence Of
the Capone gang.
The letter, written by Mike de
Pike" Heitler, former member Of
the Capone syndicate, shocked Of
ficial circles.
SkidmOre Ordered Deaths
The minor politician who gave
commands that CapOne carried
out was william SkidmOre, whose
political influence arranged pro
lection for the liquor dispensing
activities of the gang chiefs or
ganfxatiOn.
Skidmore, Heitler's letter re-
vealed, demanded the deaths Of
Heitler himself and Of Jack Zuta,
associate of Capone and under
stood to have plotted the murder
Of Alfred Jake" Lingle, Tribune
reporter.
The remarkable document was
composed by Heitler a few days
before he was tortured and burned
to death.
Probe Under Way
The States attorneys office an
nounced it would launch a thor
ough investigation of the facts set
forth.
The document declares that
the assassination of Lingle was
perpetrated upon orders of Scar
face Al.
1t AYERS that the authors own
death had been decreed and that
Capone and seven other men
would be responsible for his
murder.
The letter also recites numerous
instances of police bribery and
the exercise of corrupt influence
in order to remove or transfer
officials who proved inhospitable
to the syndicate's activities.
