Wednesday, April 19, 1944' 7 Police Searching For Matt Capone In Larkin Slaying Chicago, April 19. (P) Police of Chicago and Cook county, responding to a pickup order, searched today for Matt Capone, youngest brother of Al, the coun try first "Public Enemy No. 1, and who, said Police Captain Thomas Alcock, is wanted in connection with the slaying of James D. Larkin, gambler and former horse trainer. Also object of the widespread police hunt, said Captain Alcock, was Wally Sanders, a bartender employed in Matt Capone's tavern in suburban Cicero where, he said, the 49 year old Larkin was fa tally shot late Monday night.

The police order to seize Matt Capone, 35, and the youngest of the five Capone brothers, followed what Alcock described as a re enactment by a witness of a quar rel between Larkin and Sanders in Capone's tavern preceding the shooting. The argument, Alcock said the witness disclosed, arose over the disappearance of a $5 bill. He said the witness had showed how Sanders pushed Larkin into the taverns back room and that Capone went behind the bar, took something out of a drawer and followed Sanders and Larkin. A moment later, Alcock announced the witness asserted, three shots were fired and Sanders dashed from the tavern. The body of Larkin, who was shot between the eyes, was found in a West Side alley, less than two miles from Capone's tavern in the suburb, once the center of operations for the notorious "Scarface" Al during his heyday in the pro hibition era.

Larkin, in October, 1939, was ruled off Illinois race tracks for life by the State Racing Commis sion after a horse which he trained! was found to have been doped.
