William L. Dawson, the city's
veteran lone Negro congressman,
for whom Lewis held no awe and
little respect, bosses a group Of
Southside wards.
A close political associate said
Ben had grown too big for his
britches too fast in the eyes of
some whites who hadn't expected
him to take over in such a big way.
They killed him because he was
shutting them out"
Police ques STONED d Cornelius
Haynes, an exconvict said to be an
ex-polciy wheel runner.
Police said that Haynes served
a prison term in Indiana for

covering the body of Lewis.

lie test, said 1t. Killackey, but
later submitted to a test and was
cleared.
Police said that Haynes admitted
that he had met Aid. Lewis in 1858
at party"
II was doing good in policy
then" Haynes told detectives.
IT went to the party, met Lewis,
and dropped $500 to him. I didn't
see much of him after that"
Lewis, a quiet man at city
council meetings, was at his best
operating in his ward where he
bOasted that a flOurishing in
surance business he operated
netted him $4,000 per year.
Married, he lived quietly with his
wife, Ella. His daughter, Mrs. Joan
Meyers, a school teacher, was mar

in his plush new ward office hand
cuffed and with three bullet holes
In the base of his skull which po-
lice say were fired at close range
two days after scoring his greatest
political triumph.
Though the city's stormy politi-
cal history has been marked by a
score of killings and kidnappings,
Lewis was the first sitting alder
man ever murdered here. He is the
second Negro politician Of stature
to meet death at the hands Of as
saSSinS.
The other victim was Octavious
Granady, a Republican involved in
a bitter fight for control of the old
bloody" twentieth ward in 1928,
Granady was shot down on the
street on election day when six
gunner leaped out Of an auto
mobile that had purposely collided
with his and pumped bullets into
him until he slumped to the side
walk dead.
A police lieutenant and four
officers were charged with the
staying, but charges against
them were eventually dismissed.
Lewis, a professional politician
for 80 years, had made a meteoric
rise in power and wealth since at
tanning major league status in 1858
when he was chosen to fill the un-
expired aldermanic term Of Sidney
Deutsch who was made city treas
urer.
Deutsch now dead was the last
Of a series of Jewish politicians who
had controlled the ward and built
it into the most powerful vote get
ting machine in the city. The ward
organizations treasury was reput-
ed to be the largest in the country.
It controlled more top bracket
political jobs than any other ward
group.
Lewis reputedly was made al
derman in an effort by the jew
Ish politicians living outside the
ward to retain control of the
ward which had become 80 per-
cent Negro.
Reared in the tough Maxwell
street Jewish neighborhood, Lewis
was well schooled In all the in
tricacies Of ward politics, could
even speak Yiddish and had a
political cunning that enabled him
to expand his power and influence
; at a rate that amazed even his
sponsors.
! His complete domination Of the
ward was demonstrated In the al
dermanic election only two days
before his murder when he polled
more than $4,000 votes against his
Republican opponents SSs.
He was a stern political dlscip-
linarian who merciIessIy Topped
off the heads Of precinct cap
tains who couldn't bring out the
vote. His methods, though effec-
tive, made many enemies for
him.
Ambitious, he was cycling the
congressional seat of aging Rep.
Thomas O'Brien, 80, which would
have made him Chicago's second
Negro congressman and undisputed
political boss of a four ward do

man always, is a bible verse teach

Jesus to repent and we refuse he
calls someone else.
But when we accept His invita-
tion, He comes home with us, Rev
elation 3:20. Behold I stand at
the door and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door
I will come in to him and will
sup with him and he with me; Rev.
Battle received back into the fell
owship after the message a young
couple.
Mrs. Battle at the House of
