A Slaying in the North End
Test your skills and try your patience as you solve this crime…
There are several gangs fighting up in the North End. Les White, the leader of the Blackhawks, was shot and killed last Friday afternoon by a member of the Leopards in a turf fight over Minot Street.
The members of the Leopard gang are Al Foster, Bruce Diskin, Charlie Jensen, Damon O’Keefe, and Eddie Lyons.
Here are the clues…
- The killer and the leader had a fierce argument about whether to kill White before deciding to go ahead with it.
- Jensen works the evening shift as a machinist in the local plant on weeknights and is thinking of working at his brother’s gym-bag factory in San Francisco
- The leader’s wife is a teller at the Second National Bank, Foster, an only child, works part-time as a janitor there.
- The leader and Diskin play poker every Tuesday night at eight over Hiller’s Saloon. Foster picks them up there after midnight and drives them home.
- Jensen is married to the killer’s sister, who was once engaged to O’Keefe.
- O’Keefe, a bachelor, is the best lockpick of the five.
