talk about a motive for shooting. Neither would polfffe. But townspeople believed it might

have had some connection with the ambush slaying of Bernie Shelton at Peoria almost a year

tactics to wipe out a rival band of bootleggers. : Helped Compose Ballad Big Earl was as tough as any member of the fabulous clan, but he had his aesthetic side. When his brother Carl was shot to death in 1948, he composed a folk ballad with the help of a guitar

- player on a local radio station.

Police said they had “no idea” who Big Earl's assailant was. He scrambled from the garage roof and made his getaway. Dr. Donald B. Frankel gave Shelton emergency treatment at the Farmers’s Club. Then the gang war veteran was rushed to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Ind.
