The mystery
It's Chicago in early May. The air is warm, the night heavy. A lakeshore breeze spills in through the open shutters on the city's south side, where, as night prevails, a deep silence sets upon the homes along Rhodes Avenue.
There, in the late-night silence, a dog stirs from atop an old, alley porch. Below, a struggle has taken place, coaxing one Edward Miller to his back window. The night is too dark, the shadows too deep to see what the fuss is all about, but within an hour, as dawn breaks across the city, Miller and garbage worker Joseph Tomasy discover a man, alone and unconscious, mortally wounded, his skull fractured — $4 in his pocket.
It was the morning of May 2, 1938, the last for Paul MacLean — a man who Chicago Police Sergeant Ignatius Sheehan said "had battled fiercely with his assailants before being subdued."
Pauls murder was never solved however it is suspected that he either died at the hands of someone he owed a gambling debt to..... or..... he died at the hands of someone who didnt appreciate his undercover work and writing abilities.
