GARROTING IS [ USED BY GANGS: Strangulation Method Supplants Guns In Chicago Murder Chicago. June* 4. — (U.R) -Gang-: , land lias adopted garroting. th- - Parisian Apache's favorite method; of committing murder, as a means lof putting its enemies out of the way, it appeared today as detec- ! tives investigated the murder of 11 Thomas Somnerio, Capone racketeer. whose body Was found last night in a west side alley. There were no signs of gun play, marking the first time in the long history of Chicago gang murders, police said, that the traditional ' automatic pistols, sawed-off shotguns and machine guns have been I discarded for a strangling wire. I One theory of the garroting was! mat ballistic experts have been | ' too successful reading clews down ' ; from rifling marks on bullets for* 'gangsters to take chances. Somnerio was the eighth victim! |of the latest outburst of gang war, ; since last Saturday, when a gang-1 st r r was assassinated on the street.! 11 Sunday three more were slain at • 1 Fort Lake. 111., and the remainder ; i in one and twos in Chicago. ' Detectives also investigated the! i possibility that the murder of Sam-1 n I Massillino in Argo, 111., also' i was connected With the gang warl fare. Massillino was shot to d°ath in his room. Police were investigating the theory that he was an • alcohol racketeer. Somnerio apparently had been • toiHired and taken for a "ride" by 1 his gangland enemies.

In a widespread drive to end the gang war, police had 215 suspects in jail last night. Among them' were a number of notorious gangs-1 tecs, including Myles O'Donnell, j brother of the better known ' Klon-| dyke" O'Donnell; Harry Gtizick. i one of Capone's beer syndicate I partners: Hymie Living, a Capone' speakeasy collector, and Vincent j Accardo. extortionist. o REPUBLICANS GATHER TODAY ; (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) j ' olutions to be Included in the plat-; form, candidates and their friends hovered around the Severin Hotel 1 seeking support C6r nominations! that will be nntffe tomorrow.
