By International Kevrsreel With a price of 'SIOOjDOO oa his head, the man hunt has beea carried on for one of Chicago's most notorious artmlnbls, Fred Burke, who fled his haunts af ter the murder of Police Chief Skelly some tea days ago. And it Burke is not captured by the po lice It is believed that gangland will prove his nemesis, tor ne has served to focus the eyes ot the law oa the underworld Just when things were fairly Quiet and "rackets" could agaia b worked. When Fred Burke fled his lux urious home after the murder, it was thought that he was headed for St. Joseph, Mich., and the vi cinity ot that town is under the strictest surveillance. For, it captured alive, it Is believed that Burke will prove to be the mas ter mind behind some of the frightful crimen committed in Chicago during the last few years. Particularly is It hoped to bring home to Burke the guilt for the crime last St. Valentine's Day when machine guns mowed down seven members ot "Bugs" Moran's gang as they were holding a meet ing la t garage. A complete arsenal. Including guns, machine guns, revolvers and ammunition, were found In Burke's home, where he lived un der the alias of Fred Dane. Com prehensive tests wfll be made to ascertain If the machine guns be longing to Burke were the weap ons used ia the St. Valentine's dsy killing. Authorities affirm that bullets fired from the guns bear the same type of distinct marking as tho bullets found by the police after the murder. Ser ial numbers ot the two guns have been forwarded to the makers In an effort to trace the sale ot the weapons. On one gun the numbers had beea carefully obliterated, but were deciphered by the use ot chemicals. Hollywood Theatre Today and Thursday Continuous Performance Today 2 to 11 P.
