Holdup Wave Hits Chicago: Chief of Detectives Walter Storm was ordered today to put every availabvle detective in the street to check a wave of daylight holdups and window smashings which has arisen here.
The order to "clean up those robberies or else" came from Police Commissioner John Prendergast after robbers cleaned up abut $27,000 in three holdups Friday. Early ysterday men in an automobile smashed 15 display windows in a number of stores and escaped after shots were fired by a squad car.
I am not researching this family. Hope this old newspaper article can help someone else who is.
