Hubert Gives Himself Up for
Questioning Concerning
City Holdup.
SOUGHT BY OFFICERS
License Plates Used on Car
in Stickup Issued to
DeSperado's Kin.

Hubert .Dillinger, half brother OF
the notorious john Dillinger, walked
calmly into the detectives Office at
police headquarters shortly after
noon today, and, after telling De-
tective Captain Herman Radema-
cher he understood he was wanted
for questioning, sat down just as
calmly to await arrival of detectives
working ON the case in which his
name had been mentioned.
Both state and city police had
been looking for him to question
him on reports that an automobile
carrying license plates issued to him
had been used in a holdup and an
attempted holdup here last night.
Not Under Arrest
At police headquarters today,
Captain Rademacher refused to al
low reporters to talk to Dillinger
until the detectives on the case,
who were out on other business, had
had chance to question him. The
captain made it most plain that Dill
lingr was not under arrest.
A report by the victim of one of
the crimes that one of the two
bandits involved had boosted loudly
that he was seeking revenge" be-
cause policemen had killed his
brother recently also was in the
hands of state police when at the
request of local authorities, they
went to Mooresville last night to
seek, unsuccessfully, Hubert.
One of the crimes in which two
bandits participated was marked by
extreme brutality, the bandits beat
ing with their revolver butts one OF
the owners and an employe of the
Buffalo Inn, 2914 Madison avenue,
after robbing the patrons.
Joseph E. Lancaster, Box A, R. r.
1, one of the owners of the tavern,
was beaten so badly he was taken
to city hospital. Wilbur E. Manwar-
ing, 81, of 1900 Brill street, the en-
ploye, was struck several times by
one of the thugs because, the thug
explained in surly tones, Il don't
like your face"
It was at the inn that one of
the two thugs spoke of brother
killed by police and of his desire to
obtain revenge.
Get S120 in Cash
From the patrons of the inn,
where they arrived about 8, the
robbers obtained $3.50 in cash, a
watch valued at $45 and a Plymouth
coupe. The thugs. who had arrived
together in Chevrolet coupe, drove
away separately, one in their car
and one in the Plymouth, property
of Francis Klein, Box 116, r. R. /,
from whom they also had obtained
$50 in cash.
Edward j. Proper, 2106 East
Troy avenue, was robbed of $50 and
the watch and a man who left the
inn before police arrived was said
to have been robbed of $40 or $12
In their second raid, which &C.
Cured a few minutes before 10, the
thugs we're travelling together in the
Chevrolet again. This time they
visited a Sinclair Refining Company
filling station at College avenue and
Forty-ninth street. There, one
asked Thaddeus Schoen, 1446 Fair
field avenue, attendant, if he might
see a phone directory.
Leaves Companion to Follow
AS Mr.. Schoen turned with the
directory, one of the thugs threat
ened him with a .32-caliber blue
steel automatic. The gun slipped
from the bandits hand as he adj
vanced. however, and he turned anc
fed after recovering it from the
floor.
The nervous bandit fled north or
College avenue, leaving his compan-
ion sitting in their parked coupe
The companion followed the first
bandit north on College avenue and
presumably. they rejoined there.
It was in this second foldup thai
the license number, traced through
the statehouse to Hubert Dillinger
was obtained.
