PEIFER WITNESS
Bolton Knew How to Handle
Machine Gun, Says State
at Kidnap Trial.
*v the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, July 20.—Defense counsel
In the kidnaping trial of John Peifer,
former St, Paul night club owner,
leveled an attack today upon the credi
bility of Byron Bolton, star witness for
the prosecution and author of the
statement that a former St. Paul police
chief figured in the ransoming of
Brewer William Hamm.
Attorney Archie Cary declared he
Would show that Bcltcn, himself a
Confessed member of the kidnaping
gang, lied on the witness stand when
he denied he knew how to operate a
machine gun.
• We will show through testimony of
witnesses an possibly through cross
examination of Bolton himself, that he
took part in the St. Valentine’s day
massacre in Chicago, in 1929,” Cary
said. "We can prove that he was an
expert machine gunner.”
Seven Gangsters Slain.
Seven “Bugs” Moran gangsters, lined
tip in a garage, were chopped down
with machine guns in the massacre.
United States District Attorney
George F. Sullivan said the Govern
ment contemplated no action against
Tom Brown, the police officer Bolton
said was figured for $25,000 of the
$100,000 ransom for keeping the gang
informed of police movements. Brown
was a member of the police kidnap
detail at the time.
Brown was suspended after Bolton’s
testimony, but Sullivan said the three
yezr statute of limitations had out
lawed the Lindbergh kidnap acL’c ap
plication to ihe Hamm kidnaping,
Which occurred in June, 19o3.
Police Connection.
Sullivan Indicated he would develop
the theme of a police connection with
the kidnaping, however, through testi
mony of Chief of Detectives Charles
J. Tierney and former Police Chief
Thomas Dahill, who, with Brown,
comprise the kidnap squad and who
were present at unsuccessful raids on
what police Information marked as
gang headquarters.
Bolton’s testimony in the Hamm
kidnaping and that of Edward G.
Bremer, St. Paul banker, sent such
leaders of the gang as Arthur (Doc)
Barker to the penitentiary. Alvin
Xarpls, another leader, pleaded guilty
' In the Hamm case after first signify
ing his intention to stand trial with
Peifer.
Bolton, identified by the Govern
ment as a former Chicago gambler.
. was named by Federal agents as the
Karpls-Barker gang's machine gun
ner. The indictment in the Hamm
kidnaping charged he acted as chauf
feur for Karpis and Charles J. Fitz
gerald, another defendant, on the day
Hamm was seized near his brewery.
