WARNING GIVEN
 TO CANCSTERS
(Continued from Page 1.)

I EdEe l.l at large. One, Lester M. Gillis, alias George (Baby Face) Nelson, is marked for a death such as Dil- fingers the moment federal agents get the drop on him. Gillis is the man federal authoriteis say killed Agent Carter Baum in the unsuc- cessful Little Bohemia, Wis, trap. The actual story of how the jus tice department tracked down the most desperate outlaw in the mid- west likely never will be told.
 The sentiment of the department was expressed by Cummings, just before boarding a train for the west:
 "The search for Diliinger had never been relaxed for a moment. He had escaped capture on several occasions by the narrowest of mar gins. The news tonight is ex- ceedingly gratifying as we'll as re- assuring"
 Secrecy is the keynote of govern ment operatives and an important factor in their success, Hoover be- lieves. Even when a job has been completed there is much that is never revealed.
 IL IS hilONlJ flOWcSCi, tIleAI dDoNe 100 agents have been concentrated on the Dillinger case. Kept Close to Chicago
 They established that Dillinger had kept close to Chicago in re- cent months. He and his hench- men went separate ways when they narrowly escaped federal agents after the gun battle at Little Bohemia.
 Although bank robberies from coast to coast were attributed to the gunman and he was seen in scores of cites he actually had di- vided his time between hideoutS in Chicago and in nearby Illinois, ln- diana and Wisconsin points. Real izing. that the huge city was the easiest place to hide, he made Chi cago his headquarters. Always federal agents were close behind him. He changed his hiding place frequently and equally often opera tives caught up the trail.
 Several times agents believed they had a trap ready to spring, only to have their plans go awry. Sometimes they said because ot leakge or bungling by local aGen- cies.
 The fOrce that Ilnally eHueu Dli- fingers career last night was led by Melvin Purvis, a South Carolinian who has headed the Chicago office since 1882. In the party were 20 federal men and five officers of the East Chicago. Ind, police.
 Where Credit Goes
 Hoover said most credit should go to Purvis and Samuel P. Cowley of Washington, who has been in Chicago several months.
 With Dillinger dead Hoover pre- dicted the roundup of his remain ing henchmen would be easier.
 Besides Gillis. those at large are Homer Van Meter and John Hamll- ton. Gillis is described as an even more dangerous and ruthless than Dillinger.
 When federal agents took up the Dillinger hunt the only federal charge they had was transporting a stolen automobile across a state line-the automobile of Crown Point Sheriff Lillian Holley, at that.

Five police from East Chicago, Ind, where Dillinger killed patrolman in a bank rob- bery, were summoned to reinforce the agents.
 Every man of the IT detailed for last nights climax was selected for his skill with arms.
 At the little Biograph Purvis personally assigned his men. Some were in the lobby. Two were hid- den behind nearby automobiles. Another lounged inside the audi torium door.
 Secrecy Was Watchword
 Secrecy was so rigidly maintain ed that even police of the district in which the theater is located knew nothing.
 The theater manager noted the crowd of obviously excited men and telephoned the Sheffield police sta tion that "a dozen or more danger ous looking men are hanging around my theater."
 A squad car carrying four blue- coats arrived in time to see the denoument when Dillinger walked from the theater with his women.
 The vain little killer died in the natty dress of his kind-an expen- trousers, white shoes, straw hat. ed his pants pocket, almost un- concealed in it's outline.

The American hores were brighter at the conclusion of the play than had been expected. Tho U. s. pair was virtually conceded the doubles win. But nopody had counted on the distinct fall from form displayed by Crawford. He was visibly nervous in the first set, losing the first game of that set on his own service. having com mitted three double faults.
 Had it not been for the bril- liant play of Quist the Americans might we'll have won in straight sets and surely would have won the sets they did by wider margins.
 Tomorrow Crawford plays Sid ney B. Wood of New York and Vivian McGrath. who upset Wood on Saturday, plays Frank Shields, also of New York. Experts ndmed Crawford and Shields as the prob able winners.
 The Americans won the fourth set, GA, to capture the match.
 Crawford and Lott won on their own services in the first two games. Two might smashes by Stoefen broke Qulst's service to give the Americans a 2-to-1 lead. 'This was the first time that Quist's service had been broken.
 The Australians came back to break Lott's service in the sixth game to even the count at 3-all.
 Quist's service was broken again in the seventh, both Lott and Stoefen playing spectacularly.
 Stoefen, in this seventh game, was roundly cheered for two breathless flat placements. Lott fell flat on his face after smashing the winning point.
 The Australians broke Stoefen'g service to put the count at 4-all. Still another service break was scored in the ninth game, Lofts brilliant play at the net upsetting Crawford. Lott held his own ser vice in the tenth game for the con- test but not until the Aussies had twice heaten off match nOint

S10,000 for Jesse James

Jesse James made a name for himself which has become a syno- nym for banditry. He got his train- ing in violence with Quantrell's guerrillas during the Civil war bor- der strife.
 After the war James turned to train robbery, bank footing, and murder, and was said to have killed at least 25 men. He was out lawed in 1866, and it took 16 years to bring him down. His deeds, meanwhile, reported through screen of penny y-dreadfur" novels, became a legend even before his death.
 There were teary tales of Robin Hood adventures in which he rob- bed the rich and gave to the poor. He amassed a fortune by guns and violence, but his reputation. and that of his gang. "The James Boys" began to catch up with him.
 Governor Crittenden of Missouri offered a reward of $10,000 for James, dead or alive. His gang dis integrated; the end was in sight.
 It was in April, 1882, that James had returned to his home in St Joseph, Mo. Staying with him there was one Bob Ford, sort of apprentice bandit, whom James had trained in his own methods ot murder and robbery.
