CHICAGO, May 9. (P False
friends, not open foes, were desig

.Sicilian gangsters, Scalisi, AiiHelml
and O uinta at Hammond.. Ind.,

On wha theory .was based
officers were secretive. It ap
peared, however, that they might
he. in possession of definite infor
mation, because the reconstruction
of the crime was in detail, even
to the number of persons who
took part in the triple slaying.
The slaying of John Scalisi, Al
bert Anselml and Joseph G uinta,
according to the new conjecture,
followed a friendly gathering of
the trio with four friends at a
roadhouse In Indiana near the
Illinois line. The seven had pa (h-
cred to seek a peaceful settlement , ,)e contemplatinir fillnK suit in
of difficulties arising out of tho fo(lel.aI court aitaekins the county
fiKlit for the control of booze arid i i,u,jgef

There was a table laden with j the board of equalization Inst fall
food when the seven met by pre-, llnd !, f,. 2S )el. cent reduc
arrangement. J'hey kissed each tlon )n tax0H. They indicated they

who seemed to pay ho attention
to the other three. Uefore Bcalsl,
An8elmlvand Clulnta could realize
there was treachery, me B,
were turned upon them, and they
were killed.
l.onrt Ilodles hi Cur.
'The bodies of Clulnta and An
selml were loaded into a coupe
narked outside. Scalsl's body was
taken In the larger car of the
killers. By carting the Doilies to
the little used road In Hammond,
and abandoning them there, tho
executioners were able to protect
the keeper of the roadhouse where
the killings occurred, nnd also
were the better able to cover their
own trail.
There were several factors, po
lice said, lending weight to mo
theory. They pointed out that tho I
killing of Scalisi and Anselml, the j
Damon and l'ythlas among Chl-j
cngo gunmen, would have been
virtually Impossible except for per
sons having their confidence.
These two, as well as Gulnta, were
constantly alert to the danger of
assassination and took elaborate
precautions against it. It seemed
to police to be most unlikely that
ihe three could have been lured
into Indiana tinder any pretext
by nnynne having connections with.
a hostile gang.
If this theory lie accepted, the
previous belief that the killings
were to avenge tnc massueiu
seven uanpstcrs herein February
would have to be abandoned.
