St. Joseph, Mo., March 26.--The unprecedtented
criminal career of Fred
Burke, charged with killing at least
?0 men and obtaining more than $1,[>00,000
in hank robberies in IS
dates, ended here tonight 'behind the
I>u/h of a northern Misaouri countv
jail.
Burke, hard-faced and tight-lipped
AI Capone henchman, who U believe i
by Chicago authorities to have manned
the machine gun that killed at.v.
en members of the George "Bug.-"
Moran gang on St. Valentine's Day,
1 was' arrested !n a farm hou-i
mai here shortly after dawn, S;,
Joseph officers an<| the StrtJiva.i
county sheriff .surrounded Burke'
bed while he slept.
He awoke It) see police, whom lie
burl eluded more than 10 years, about
to capture him. With a swift move
he reached for a revolver near hi*
head. He was overpowered and surrendered
without further resistan *.
Burke annourfted tonight he would
fight extradition to Illinois, The
chief of police said Chicago authorities
telephoned him they were sending
Jive officers to St. Joseph, Mo., in a
motor car to return the notorious outlaw.
Burke was placed in solitary confinement.
Photographers and newspapermen--were
barred from his cell.
Burke, characterized by authorities
of Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio
and Indiana as "the country's most
dangerous killer," admitted his identity
after being questioned by St.
Joseph officials.
1 ut mo in a cell, boys," Burke
said. 'I in not talking to anyone
almut anything."
St. Joseph authorities were besieged
tonight with requests from officials
of other states for Burke. Aside
from his alleged connection with
the St. \ alentine's Day massacre,
Burke is wanted at St. Joseph, Mich.,
for murdering Charles Skelly when
the small town patrolman sought to
question him regarding a minor traffic
accident. Burke shot Skelly as
the officer placed his foot on the
running board of the gangster's car.
Although lie escaped, that needless
and brutal murder was instrumental
in bringing about Burke's capture
today. Authorities discovered he had
maintained a luxurious home at St.
Joseph. Mich., and raided the estah
lishment. A verftable arsenal of
weapons wus found. One of the gun-,
said Dr. Herman X. Bundesen. Chicago
coroner, was the machine gun
used in wiping out the Moran h .odiums.
The search for Burke became more
concentrated. Police from IS state*,
and the federal government followed
his trail. Always, they were a day
?>" <> behind
fror the lasd. three months, Burke
was known to have been hiding m
northern Missouri, said Capt. John
I.art), one of the officers instrumental
in bringing about his capture.
Day and night, police maintained
close watch over the farm home >f
Mr. and Mrs. Barney Porter, parent:
of Burkes \v ift*. Hast flight - came
house.
Officers here left in the dead of
night for the Porter home, near here.
They surrounded the house and.
shortly after daybreak, entered to
find Burke fast asleep.
Rewards totaling $101,000 had been
offered for Burke's arre?t. He was
wanted in 18 states and by the federal
government for major crimes.
Twenty killings, all of them marked
by Burke s technique of deadly aim
and fast escape, have beer, charged
to him.
Burke's criminal career first started
as a member of the Egan rats
gang in St. LxiuLs. He served a twoyear
sentence for forgery m the Missouri
state penitentiary in 1021 and
1922. Although bank and jewel robberies
have been charged to him, he
was especially in demand as a gunman.
His latest killing?he was said to
have sold h;* services as a murderer
as a doctor his skill?was believed
to be 'in Kansas City. Col.
Charles Edwards, head of the chamber
of commerce crime prevention bureau,
said he believed Burke was the
man who shut and killed Jimmy Howard.
