| May 8, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 43 Political Review BY HOYT KING Harry Eugene Kelly, president of the Union League club, Chicago, backed by other civic leaders, believes the time has come for the public to demand of the Cook county judges that a special grand jury and a spec- ial prosecuting attorney be appointed to make an investigation of the alli- ance between crime and politics that lets murder and ballot frauds go un- punished. Tuesday of last week, on the border line of Cicero, in front of a saloon where they were alighting. James McSwiggin, assistant state's attorney and Thomas Duffy and James J. Doherty, beer runners, were murdered by gunmen operating a machine gun from an automobile. Myles O'Donnell, said to be a part- ner of Doherty in bootlegging and owner of a Cicero saloon, is supposed to have been with the party and escaped. Duffy and Doherty were Crowe workers with McSwiggin, Crowe's as- sistant, in the 30th Ward. Myles O'Donnell was also a Crowe worker in the Primary fight. Doherty had been indicted for the murder of Eddie Tancl and Leo Kli- mas and had been tried by McSwiggen and acquitted. This triple murder is the last, at this time of a series of 93 gang mur- ders. In view of the State's Attorney's known relation with and support by the lawless element, Mr. Kelly deems him unfitted for an investigation that is likely to charge him and members of his staff with responsibility for lax enforcement of the criminal law and the ballot law,--subjects in which *he public is vitally interested. Notwithstanding this public appeal for an untrammeled special grand jury, uncontrolled by the State's At- torney, Mr. Crowe petitioned Judge Brothers for a special grand jury, of which he should have charge, and his petition was granted. In the opinion of some, even Crowe supporters, Mr. Crowe has made a mistake. His act, they say, suggests that an unbiased investigation is not desired by him and that he has some- thing to conceal. They say the pub- lic is interested in knowing why Mr. McSwiggin was out with bootleggers, one of whom had been tried by him and acquitted of murder. Did Al Brown, alias Scarface All Capone, ri- val of Doherty and O'Donnell in beer running and suspected of the murder, seek the death of an assistant state's attorney, or was he an innocent victim? Some think Mr. Kelly and his sup- porters have Mr. Crowe's back to the wall and that he will make enough mistakes in his handling of the in- vestigation 'to justify the judges in granting the demand of Mr Kelly and other law-abiding citizens. It is not an investigation of the gun- men and bootleggers that the public seeks, but an investigation of condi- tions that give gunmen and bootleg- gers unbridled liberty.
