I FRED R. BURKE IS IDENTIFIED AS BANK BANDIT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) iHttdnr in Chicago’s biggest gang miissiicre. In his home were found $319,850 In stolen bonds and a great variety of the latest scolentifie methods of circumventing the law. He owned detectographs for opening safes, acetylene torches and numerous text hooks on chemistry and metallurgy. But n scientific fact as yet unknown to the underworld may piove Burke’s undoing That Is that metal underneath the Identifying numbers on machine guns is slightly softer than that on the rest of the weapon, due to the fact hat acid used In etching the numbers affects the material. The number on one gun found in the hnngalow had been filed away. Lieut. William Cox o' the uitomobile bureau of the Chicago police moulded a cup of wax around the place where the numbers should have been and filled that cup with ac d. The number 8580 di veinped like a photograph negitive.
