CAPONE AGAIN MENTIONED IN f DEATH_PROBE Chicago Gang Lord Under Suspicion as Chief Aid Is Arrested, By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—The name of “Scarface Al” Capone, lord of Chicago's gangland, again has entered the investigation of the election day assassination of Octavius C. Granady, Negro political worker. Granady, a candidate for ward committeeman in the famous i“Bloody Twentieth” Ward, was shot to death by gangsters shortly before the polls of Illinois primary election closed, April 10. On the day of the election, it was reported from various sources that Capone and his lieutenants were seen riding through the city, apparently working in the interests of certain candidates. Today, John Stege. deputy police commissioner, chief investigator for the special grand jury convened to investigate the shooting, announced he had learned the Negro leader was shot and killed by a gang of eighteen gunmen, who traveled about the Twentieth Ward in three automobiles. The 'announcement followed immediately after the arrest and questioning of Jack McGurn, chief of Capone's trusted lieutenants, who recently recovered ffom wounds received in an attempt upon his life by rival gangsters. Stege was secretive in his movements today, refusing to reveal whether McGurn, whose true name is James Gebardj, was held for mere questioning or pending possible placing of a charge against him. McGurn, several grand jury investigators charged, was the leader of the Capone gangsters who arp alleged to have led the attack on Granady. It had been reported without confirmation that Capone, himself, now in Chicago, would be sought out for questioning. Capone’s men occupied the first of the three automobiles, Stege announced. The others of the group he said were twentieth ward regulars, followers of Morriss Eller ! boss of the ward, Granady's opponent. Eller and his son. Judge Emanuel Eller, both are under in- ! dictment for murder in connection with the assassination. McGurn deified that he participated in any of the violence which marked the election and told police he could produce 500 witnesses to prove that he spent all of the day in Cicero. He denied acquaintance; with Morris Eller, but admitted knowing Judge Eller personally. Stege said McGurn, who gained his freedom on a writ of habeas corpus, would be brought face to face with witnesses to the slaying for possible identification.

REPLIES TO UNIONS Business Bureau Secretary Denies Attack on Labor. Answering resolutions adopted by the Central Labor Union last month, T. M. Overly, secretary-manager of the Better Business Bureau, today wrote to Emil Salsbury, C. L. U. secretary, declaring the bureau never has cast aspersions upon the integrity of the C. L. U. or the labor movement. v C. L. U. delegates, angry, because Overly had notified Better Business Bureau members that the annual Labor day program of the C. L. U. was not approved as a profitable advertising medium, adopted the resolutions scoring the bureau and asking a number of questions. Overly courteously answers the questions and then asks the C. L. U., where the delegates got the idea that the bureau had done anything further than disapprove the program in the letter today.
