Ill, near the Arlington race track.
The Arlington handicap was run
that day and Dillinger sat in the
back seat OF his stolen automobile
and rode serenely into the city with
the woman in red at the wheel
amid such crowd Of homeward
bound race-goers that there was
small chance of detection.
This time, however, his stay in
Chicago was brief Dillinger and
his two companions drove east

Fostoria, O., where they were seen
July II.
Two days later the trio appeared
in Whiting, Ind. and it was while
there, it was believed today, that
the woman in red made the
contact with East Chicago police
that led TO Dillinger's death.
Sergeant Makes Contact
Sergt. Martin Zarkovich of that
department. with a knowledge Of
Dillinger's women companions who
previously had frequented dance
halls and bar rooms in his territory
made the connection.
Dillinger and his woman came
to Chicago the last time on the
evening of July 20 and stopped at
north side hotel. One Of the
women registered for him.
Friday and Saturday Dillinger
remained in seclusion, doubtless
suffering in the hotel room from
the heat.
Sunday he decided to go to see
the picture Manhattan Melo-
drama and the woman in red
found an opportunity to let zarko-
vich know Of the plan.
The East Chicago police notified
Melvin Purvis and the trap was
set.
Purvis sprung the trap person.

signal for his subordinates to close
in on Dillinger. Perhaps PurYis
fired the shot that killed the out
law. Under the creed of the de-
partment Of justice which Puryis
heads it never will be formally
announced who Was responsible.

been called by Dr. Warren F. Fox,

was stressed Tk:S method permits
a prolonged use of the chlorine in

of the larger cities are using this
method at the present time. The
method of chlorine treatment, and
the dosage of chlorine used was
reviewed as we'll as the use of
copper sulphate in destroying algae
growth. Water storage facilities and
the use of tank car water to supple

An offer to make analyses of
water samples from the various
