CHICAGO ISLAY|NG
IS LAID TO. BOAST
Police Link Killing Of An
thony Demory With That
of McGurn.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 3.-The Staying
of Anthony Demory-third of his clan
to meet a gangster's end-today was
linked to the assassination Of his half
brother, Machine Gun Jack" Nc
Gurn.
Supervising Capt. John Siege an
nounced his belief Demory died be-
cause he had boasted
Il know the guys that killed Jack.
I'm going to get them"
The striking similarity of the two
executions prompted the Official theory
that they had been carried out by the
same trio of gunmen.
Demory, "a, was playing cards with
three others in Little Italy" pool
room last night. Three men, their
faces shadowed by overcoat collars,
walked In. They brandished pistols.
The leader cried:
This Is a stick-up."
A score of patrons-among them
Anthony's brother, joseph Demory,
rose.
Ten Shots Fired.
Ten shots were fired at Anthony.
Three struck him. The assailants
fled.
Just II days ago, three gunmen,
shouting This is a stick-up," slew
McGurn-master machine gunner for
AL Capone-in bowling alley.
Demory, wounded in the head
shoulder and side, died in a HOSPITAL
within an hour. He was unable to
talk.
Mrs. Josephine Gebardi Demory,
mother Of the victim, sobbed:
First Vincent, then Tony. My
Tony, they didn't have to kill you"
AS officers led Joseph away for ques-
tioning, she called after them:
They want to get him, too. Take
care of him"
Father Slain in 1923.
McGurn-his right name was Vim
cent Gebardi-was the child of her
first husband. Demory was the son
of her second husband. Angelo Demory,
an alcohol cooker, slain in 1923 block
from last nights murder scene.
Investigators also advanced the
theory the slayings Of McGurn, Demory
and State Representative Albert Prig-
nano may have been connected. Prig-
nano was killed in an ostensible rob-
berry by three men last December %.
Witnesses of his death were to be
asked to view Demorys body.
Detectives suggested the three kill
ings may have attended new struggle
for control of the Unione Siciliana.
That war resulted in the gun deaths
of Tony Lombardo. Joe Ferrara and
Pasquale Lolordo. They were Capone
allies. Officials once investigated the
possibility the ST. Valentines day mas
sacre of seven men in 1929 was to
avenge those killings.
Girl Provided Alibi.
McGurn was suspect in the mas
sacre. But blond Louise Rolfe pro-
vided an alibi. She said she was with
him at hotel at the time.
The woman. now the widow of Nc
Gurn, appeared at the county morgue
at midnight to view Demory's body.
She was questioned by Siege.
Two pistols were found near the
pool room. Joseph and Frank Demory
and Sam Nuzzio and Santo Cutia, who
played cards with Demory, were inter-
rogated.

impossible for you to continue holding
your position as superintendent Of

Ballou-No; I did not consider my

Blanton-You realized that, didn't

Ballou-No, sir. I do not think that

How Would Public React?
Blanton-If you were to subscribe

Ballou-I do not think any one aci

that Emperor Halle Selassie's armies
have been crushed, Italian sources
said.
Some pessimism was reflected in
Italian quarters, where the view was
held that the oil threat only added
to Rome's difficulties in considering
q peace appeal.
A report that Premier Mussolini's
representatives had informed Flandin
that Italy would leave the League
and denounce the Locarno Pact II
an oil embargo was adopted, however
was denied officially.
All League sources agreed that
this program marked perhaps the
most critical juncture for the League
in it's efforts to bring about East
African peace and to ease European
tension.
In the event the new peace move
failed and sterner war penalties were
imposed, Italian reprisals were fore
seen.
If optimists who expressed belief
that the Italians wanted to talk
terms were right, however, League
sources said, the Council Comittee's
peace appeal might lead the way
from East African strife to new
phase of European cooperation.
The French delegation took the
official position that the Leagues
primary object was to achieve peace
and that conciliation should be at
tempted seriously once more before
action was taken on the British
backed oil embargo.
Advisability Of Move Debated.
The Leagues resort to conciliation
touched off a heated argument in
Geneva corridors concerning the
efficacy Of any peace move at this
time.
Apprehension was expressed in
British quarters that the only peace
terms Mussolini might be willing to
discuss would go far beyond those
in the Cancellation Committees power
to grant,
Sources close to the French dele
CATION, on the other hand, pointed
out that the strength of the alter
native measure-the oil sanction-was
not yet assured, Britain being the only
member Of the Sanctions Committee
which went on record definitely yes
terday as advocating an oil embargo.
Authoritative British sources said
nothing was known here concerning
reports that Emperor Halle Selassie
sent message to Britain, suggesting
willingness to negotiate peace with
Italy provided King Edward VIII
acted as mediator.
A Geneva dispatch to the London
Daily Mail said, there is good reason
to believe very important message
from the Emperor of Ethiopia was
received in London yesterday and
transmitted to Eden at Geneva" set
ting forth such terms for concil-
iation)

GROUP
SCORED BY MOTT
Weird Crowd Keeping Re-
covery Where 1t Was, Says
Representative.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Mott, Republican, of
Oregon charged last night that a
weird crowd Of professors and sub
professors" are keeping industrial re-
covery and farm solvency 'just where
they we're when the New Deal came
into power"
The President and his "brain trust, "
Mott asserted, have substituted exec
utive dictatorship for representative
government and regard the Constitu-
tion merely as a necessary evil"
In a radio address under auspices
of the National Republican Congress
sional Committee, Mott said two
major problems-industria recovery
and farm solvency and the destiny Of
agriculture-faced the Roosevelt ad-
ministration at the outset.
The N. r. A. was the solution to
the first and the A. A. A. to the Sec
ond, he said.
But with the N. r. A. held invalid
nearly a year ago and no legislation
even limited to replace it," Mott said,
that problem is right where 1t was
on March 4, 1888"

work this morning. Replacement
workers took over most of the ele-
vator posts left vacant by strikers.
Some of the buildings not yet af-
fected by the strike, but which. it was
indicated at union headquarters, would
be objects of concentrated action be-
fore nightfall, are the Empire State,
Chrysler and Chanin Buildings and
Rockefeller Center.
The surprise move" at which James
J. Bambrick, president of the local
unit of the union, hinted yesterday
turned out to be an attempt to call
out workers in the New York Stock
Exchange Building. It was not sue
cessful.
About 20 members of a strike COM
mittee went to the building at New
and Wall streets and shouted to the
workers to join the Walkout. There
was no response and police dispersed
the strikers without disorder.
Flying Squadrons Active.
During the night flying squadrons Of
strikers, making lightning raids to
force out employees who refused to an
swer the walkout call, battled guards
and non-striking workers.
From the Upper Bronx to Green
wich Village police squads, answering
night radio calls, found smashed DOORS
shattered windows and cut elevator
cables.
Police recorded more than 300 cases
of disorder; almost 100 arrests were
made; a score of persons were injured
and about score more treated for
scratches and bruises In fighting be-
tween pickets, police and workers who
refused to strike.
Radio patrols in the exclusive Gen.
trail Park West residential section
sought strike sympathizers suspected
of having opened boiler valves, thus
flooding 15-story apartment building
basement with live steam and scalding
water.
With this and other apartment
houses deprived of heat, light snow
fell and the weather became cold and
damp.
10000 on Strike.
Police figures set the number Of
strike-affected buildings at almost
1000, with 10000 workers on strike.
Most seriously affected were apart
ment houses. Mayor La Guardia, to
relieve the distress of tenants, pro-
claimed civic emergency and ordered
all city departments to cooperate
with the Health Department. in main
tanning vital services.
The business district faced growing
difficulty when services of charwomen
and porters were lost to skyscraper
Office buildings. In most of the Wall
Street buildings they either did not
report for work or were sent home be-
cause there were no facilities for them.
Firemen manned elevators through
out the night, moving sick. and
calming tenants who were alarmed lest
boilers in their buildings had not been
properly tended.
Activities of the Fire Department
were increased about 100 per cent, off,
cials estimated. Extra men were de-
tailed to all stations to carry on the
extra curricular duties.
Tenants in many strike-affected
buildings, inexperienced in tending
furnaces, kept the fires burning. No
serious blazes were reported, however.
Police received several reports of
substitute workers and building super
intendents being taken for rides"
They were not harmed or threatened,
their captors simply arguing with
them.
