Find A Grave: Died August 20th, 1969 age 74. Note, however, the birth date of 23 January 1894 and the VA Master Index listing 23 January 1895. These date differences are common in records. Based on the VA Master Index death date, this is ‘our’ Charles KIRK AKA Gus BUNKOYE.

A robber robbed a cigar store and fled down the steps of the elevated railroad, on 59th Street, near State Street. Confronted by a policeman, the villain fired several shots. But the policeman turned away and fatally wounded the robber with a couple of shots. He identified himself as Gus Bunkoye, of So. Chicago.

If Charles KIRK AKA Gus BUNKOYE is the above person in the 1929 article, and the 1940 prison inmate, then there must be a very interesting story to be discovered. No other information has been found. e.g. Census, etc.
