ATTACK STORY
TOLD BY GIRL
Mrs. Mary BeyerIein Tells
of Plunge to Evade
Accused Pair.

Unable to climb the short flight
of stairs to municipal court room
three, Mrs. Mary Beyerlein, pretty
18-year-old girl who leaped from q
third floor window during a drink
ing party at 451 North Illinois
street Sept. 81, today told of the
alleged criminal assault upon he1
by two local men during the party
Mrs. Beyerlein wore braces tc
support her back as a result of the
injuries she sustained in the fall
She was assisted into the curt
room by her mother, Mrs. Sue
Chadwell, 273 North Holmes ave-
nue..
Because of her physical condition
Judge Dewey Myers held court in
the detective bureau on the first
floor of the police headquarters
building. In the room, Richard
Heymann, 80, of 1889 Spann ave.
nue., and William Bowers, "a, of the
Colonial hotel, charged with the
alleged attempted criminal assault
upon Mrs. Beyerlein, watche d
shamefacedly as she walked to the
witness stand.
frankie Ralston, theatrical pro-
ducer, who with Bowers and Hey-
mann, is charged with possession
of marjuana cigarets at the party,
was not present. His attorney ex-
planned that Ralston was in Can
ada with show Hearing on the
charge of possessing the narcotic
clgarets was set down for April 20.
In almost inaudible tones. Mrs.
Beyerlein told of meeting Bowers
at downtown drug store on the
afternoon of Sept. 81, when he sug-
gested first that they go to a show
and later invited her to the North
Illinois street apartment.
Mrs. Beyerlein testified that thew
met Heymann at the apartment
and both men tried to ply her with
drinks, and when Ralston entered
the room forced her to smoke a
marijuana cigaret. When Bowers
and Heymann attempted to attack
her in the bedroom, Mrs. Beyerlein
testified, she jumped from the
window.
Both Heymann and Bower denied
the alleged attack when they took
the stand and both protested that
they had been drinking heavily and
we're vague about the incidents of
the party. Under cross-examina-
ton, both men admitted that they
had not gone to the assistance of
the girl after she leaped from the
window.
Judge Myers bound Heymann
and Bowers over to the grand jury
for further investigation under
$1,000 bond each.

IA three members of the In
diana terror mob" from the
heavily guarded Lima (O0 Jail in
which John Dillinger, escaped
desperate, planned to use gang
sters disguised as Ohio national
guardsmen, was revealed today by
Captain Matt Leach of the state
police.
With Harry Pierpont, Charles
Mackley and Russell Clark safely
imprisoned in the Columbus (OO
penitentiary and the heavy mill
tary guard which surrounded the
Lima Jail for more than a month
disbanded, police throughout the
middle west relaxed today for the
first time in many weeks.
Captain Leach pictured Dillin-
ger as a hunted man with his
hand against the world, hiding in
an obscure Chicago fiat, deserted
by his henchmen because he is
too hot" and afraid to venture
into the streets even at night.
AS Pierpont and Makley pre-
pare for death in the electric
chair for the murder of Sheriff
Jess Sarber of Lima and Russell
Clark starts today on a life sem
tence for the same crime, Captain
Leach pronounced the gangs
reign of terror at an end.
Its curtains for Dillinger
now" said Captain Leach, en-
phatically. Hes licked Iamil-
ton, Burns, Fox and Van Meter,
all wanted as members of the
gang, are afraid to go near him.
He's too hot"
CEATED at his office at state
~ police headquarters at the
statehouse, Captain Leach pointed
to a row of rogues gallery pictures
on the walls. Across the pictures
of Pierpont, Makley and Clark,
and other dead or captured mem
bers of the gang, heavily penciled
KS" had been made. An TX"
across the Scowling countenance
of Dillinger had been erased.
Hes a tough honbre," said
Captain Leach, gazing with a
hint of admiration at whiting"
Jacks mug, but he's really
through. He can't win now"
From information which came
to us, we have learned that Dill
linger actually made an effort to
free ,Pierpont and the other two
men from the Lima JAIL" Captain
Leach added. THE plan called
for eight gangsters dressed in
army uniforms to pose as Ohio
national guardsmen.
Another gangster was to dress
as a lieutenant. The plans were
to have the gangsters enter Lima
at night and hide in town until
just before court adjourned in the
afternoon. The plan then called
for the fake lieutenant and sew
eral of his soldiers" to present
fictitious papers purported to
have been signed by Governor
White to the sheriff ordering the
prisoners to be turned over to the
military authorities" on the pre-
text Of moving them temporarily
from the Jail because of raid
scare"
"Dillinger did not take active
part in the plan" Captain Leach
added. by that I mean he did
not go to Lima himself. But he
sent Hamilton and Burns or sew
eral other members of the gang
there and they reported back that
the plan was impossible to exc
cute.
The scheme fell through for
three reasons. First, the tip to
me which I passed on to General
Bush at Lima, causing an in
creased vigilance; second, the fact
that Dillinger could not muster
enough men to carry the plan
through, and third, that General
Bush, who is a thorough soldier,
knew all the men in his outfit
and anticipated even the most
fantastic move by the gangster.'

of excitement creeping into his
eyes. II was there when Herbert
Youngblood Dillinger's Negro

Huron. That spoiled everything.
Johnny was on his way out of
Chicago to Detroit. We knew
where he was going. We knew
where he had car hidden. Then
Youngblood was shot and Dillin-
ger, who is no fool, beat it back
to Chicago.
