Ten months later on December 14, 1929, St. Joseph, Michigan Police Officer Charles Skelly came face to face with a killer. Shots were fired, the assailant escaped and the dying Officer Skelly identified his murderer before taking his last breath. The trail led to a home in Stevensville, Michigan which belonged to Fred Burke, a highly sought suspect in the St. Valentines Day Massacre. The backwash of bloody Chicago had made its way into the rural neighborhoods of Southwestern Michigan and Northern Indiana.
