| − | + | "Embattled Hospital Herman Kiefer Involved?" | |
Daniel Macklin, owner of speakeasy The Irish Rose, was killed early last evening in what is apparently the opening salvo of a new gang war between Detroit interests and rivals from the East. Mr. Macklin was found in the parlor of the Rose in the most horrid murder seen in this city since 1882. Details of his death are too disturbing to describe in the pages of a family paper, but nothing in this reporter’s long career could have prepared him for that awful scene, a gore-soaked affair straight out of the fevered dreams of the most lurid pre-Hayes screenwriter. Doctors Obediah and DeWitt, identified by a detective on the scene as staff from the Herman Kiefer Hospital, were on hand to provide a medical opinion, as they were conveniently passing through the heart of the city’s shame, that collection of illegal watering holes and “dance” clubs that has festered for years despite the best efforts of the Detroit Police Department. | Daniel Macklin, owner of speakeasy The Irish Rose, was killed early last evening in what is apparently the opening salvo of a new gang war between Detroit interests and rivals from the East.
