Killed in home, Survivor of bomb plot, is slain
Palatine, Illinois
George W. Jayne, wealthy horseman who escaped a 1963 bomb plot in which a young woman died, was shot to death Wednesday night in his luxurious colonial style residence.
Police said the killer fired a single shot through a basement window as Jayne, 47, and members of his family sat around a table to their game room playing cards. Jayne, who was shuffling cards then struck near the heart, toppled from his chair and died within 15 minutes.
The killing occurred in a subdivision known as Inverness, an area of wealthy home owners, which is patrolled by Palatine police. The Palatine Jayne home is situated in the center of a five-acre estate. Jayne and his elder brother, Silas, 61, also a well-to-do horse trainer, were principals in a bitter family feud which has "brought them into the headlines frequently in the last 10 years."
Robert R. Centner, Palatine police chief, said he planned to question Silas and the dead man's other 12 brothers and sisters about the killing. Centner said Jayne was seated at the card table with his wife, Marian; his daughter, Mrs. Linda Wright; and Mrs. Wright's husband.
George and Silas Jayne were the principals in a spectacular trial in 1986 when Silas was accused of the 1965 bombing. The brothers were owners of rival horse stables. The bombing incident occurred June 14, 1965 at George Jayne's stable. A bomb wired to the ignition of Jayne's car exploded, killing Miss Cherie Rude, a 22-year-old employ. The bomb went off as Miss Rude attempted to start the car.
George Jayne told authorities the bomb was intended for him and declared Silas was responsible. Silas was indicted in the bombing but was acquitted.
In 1969, Silas shot and killed an armed intruder at his home in Kane County during a gun fight. Police said a note found on the dead man contained George Jayne's name, address and telephone number. Silas Jayne was absolved of the death, which was adjudged justifiable homicide.
