Hennessy was arrested at a cross road outside of the city where the. four parties of motorists had been held up within a half hour. Two of ( the victims identified Hepnessy as the robber. Hennessy was held on charges of I carrying concealed weapons and “suspicion of highway robbery.” Po- 1 lice will also investigate his movements on Sept. 9, when William McGee, member of the Missouri legisla- j ture, and Elmer Malone were shot to death on a street 'corner in a gang war fight, in which, police believe, the two victims were innocent bystanders. Hennessy, who is only 19, has a long police record. He is said to be associated with the "Egan’s Rats" gang,, which has opposed the "Hogan Gang” on one occasion with knives and bullets in open street fighting.
