Show Gangsters Superstitious Over Sweetheart's "Kiss Of Death" ' CHICAGO, Dec. 3 (U.R) Sol i Fcldman, 27, was in Mother Cab-rinl Cab-rinl hospital today in critical condition con-dition from a policeman's bullets, and superstitious gangsters and police who have watched the tradition tra-dition of the "Kiss of Death" grow up, shrugged their shoulders with 1 an "I-told-you-so" expression. The "Kiss of Death" is wistful Margaret Mary Collinu, now a platinum blonde of 28. She was 18 and a brunette when her first sweetheart met sudden death and started off the legend. There have been six since then 1 who have wooed the fatal Mary and now she is nursing Feldman, whovi physicians fear may become the eighth victim in the strange history. Back in 1922 Margaret Mary watched an officer kill Jack Sueehy with a bullet through the heart after Sheehy had shot two cafe employees because they were Flow in serving the girl's order. He was No. 1. Her next sweetheart was Dion O'Banion, slain in one of Chicago's most famous early gang wars. Then were Sonny Schlig, bootlegger; bootleg-ger; and Johnny Phillips, who was killed in circumstances almost the Earn: as those that brought death to Sheehy. David (Jew Boy Bates) Jerus and Kugene (Red) McLaughlin braved the superstition supersti-tion and died. Last June Samuel Kati No. 7, on Margaret Mary's list, died resisting arrest. Feldman said the superstition was ridiculous. He was shot Wednesday by a South Park policeman police-man in an attempt to escape after stealing a fur coat. |
