at the office. That night twenty-eight bullets were fired into the office. In 1965, Eddie Moran confessed that he and another man were paid $300 to kill George, and it was they who had fired the shots into George's office in 1963. In May of 1963, when George's horse beat Silas' at the Lake Forest Horse Show, Silas again threatened George, "I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!" After this on five or more occasions Silas made more threats to kill George. Murder of Cheryl Rude On June 14, 1965, George Jayne asked his 22-year-old employee Cheryl Rude to move his Cadillac. When she turned the ignition key, a bomb composed of three sticks of dynamite exploded, killing her. George believed that he was the intended target of the bomb, and that Silas was responsible for planting it. Sheriff's investigators agreed with this assessment. On July 14, Chicago police found bomb making equipment in the home of Haladane Cleminson, who told them that James Blottiaux had asked him how to wire a car bomb. Bomb making equipment was also found in Blottiaux's home, and handwriting experts tied him to a receipt for explosives. Blottiaux, who was a handyman at Silas Jayne's 'Idle Hour Stables', told investigators he had heard Jayne offer Eddie Moran $10,000 to bomb George Jayne's car. A white Buick had been seen at George's 'Tri-Colour Stables' shortly before the bombing. Knowing that Blattiaux did repair work at his friend Thomas Hanna's used car dealership, authorities questioned Hanna who said he did not have a white Buick on his lot. In 1967, the evidence implicating Blottiaux in the Rude murder, including the receipt signed by Bottiaux, was destroyed by the Chicago Police. Thereafter the case went cold for nearly thirty years. Then when authorities requestioned Hanna, he told them that Blottiaux had borrowed a white 1960 Buick LeSabre from his lot on the day of the murder. When Blottiaux returned the car, he was visibly upset and kept repeating, "I killed the wrong person." When Hanna asked what he was talking about, Blottiaux vomited. Blottiaux confessed the murder to Hanna, who sold the Buick LeSabre as soon as he could. On December 16, 1997, Battiaux was charged with Cheryl Rude's murder. At his trial in July 1999, Haladane Cleminson testified under immunity that he had helped Blottiaux make the car bomb, and Hanna and his wife testified
