7 INA. O.. March 10.-Harry
l. Pierpont, instead of John
Dillinger, should be considered
Americas public enemy No. l, in
the opinion OF Edward Shouse. a
former member of the notorious
outlaw gang.
ShouSe was brought here from
the Indiana state prison to testify
for the state during Pierpont'S
trial on charges of numbering
Sheriff jess Sarber of Lima.
The sheriff was slain when he
resisted efforts of the gang TO free
Dillinger from the Lima Jail
Prompted by fear of electrocu-
ton, ShouSe agreed TO testify
against Pierpont and other men,
bers of the gang in return for
a promise of immunity from the
electric chair.
He named Pierpont as the one
who killed Sheriff Sarber and the
one who plotted the jail delivery.

HOURLY TEMPERATURES
PierpontS Scheme to Kidnap Indiana Cops Wear
Uniforms in Bank Holdup Barred by Eddie Shouse

Shouse also took part in the de-
livery. He and Pierpont were
among ten convicts who escaped
from the Indiana state prison last
September with the aid of guns
struggled IN by Dillinger.
Il did not want TO take part in
the Dillinger delivery, but I felt
I owed a debt to Johnny for his
part in engineering our escape
from the prison" Shouse said.
I consented TO aid after being
threatened by Pierpont."
Pierpont, or Pete" as he was
called by Shouse, planned the bank
robberieS which the gang staged
and several others which were
not carried out, the latter said.
The Racine bank job was
planned by Pierpont on his return
from Milwaukee, where he had
attempted to dispose of some of
the bonds stolen in the Green
castle bank robbery" Shouse de-
clared.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-03-10

The Peru and Auburn police
station raids were conducted by
Pierpont and Dillinger merely to
get some publicity.
>Gooier heads prevented Pier
point from carrying out one of
his most fantastic schemes. He
wanted to kidnap five or six IN
diana state policemen and wear
their uniforms during a bank rob-
berry. The plan was dropped only
after a violent discussion.
Pete ruled the gang with an
iron hand and death was the
penalty for any disobedience of
his orders. His hate for police
officers caused him to reach a
mental state which enabled him
to shoot on the slightest provoca-
ton"
The hate Pierpont now bears
for his former companions was
evidenced in the sheer on his
face when Shouse testified yes
terday.

In explaining Dillinger's part
IN the state prison break. Shouse
said that the desperate stood
with his back against the prison
wall for two hours while attempt
ing to throw three guns over the
twenty-foot wall.
Dillinger finally succeeded, but
guards discovered the weapons
before Pierpont could recover
them. Guns which were used in
the escape later were struggled in
through the prison shirt factory.
Shouse expressed the belief that
Dillinger either is in hiding at
Chicago or is near st. Paul, where
he had powerful gang connec-
tions.
He said the outlaw is too smart
to attempt a Jail delivery of his
pals at Lima, but has not given
up plans to aid the former men,
bers of his gang.

Chicago police, heavily armed, be-
lieved they were closing in on the

running gun battle in Schiller park
A police car was riddled with bull
let's. Just as they we're working up
a good bit of enthusiasm for massed
raids on gangland haunts here,
word was flashed that the outlaw
was heading for a hideout on a
Wisconsin Indian reservation.
His destination, it was believed
was the Menominie reservation at
Neopit The report that the elu-
Sive killer and bank robber was
beating a trail to join the other
vanishing Americans caused Wis
sOnSin officers to throw a guarC
around the home of a girl friend
of Evelyn Frechette at Neopit.
The FTechette girl has been
identified as the attractive young
woman who posed as Dillinger's
wife and visited him at the Crown
Point Ind) jail shortly before his
escape a week ago today
She is believed to be travelling
with the marauding jail breaker
now, along with John Hamilton
fugitive Dillinger gangster.
The Indiana reservation clue still
was a hot one when the police tele-
type flashed the information that
Dillinger might be hiding in the bad
lands around Danville, Ill Dan
vile police said Dillinger hid out
at a home near Rankin shortly
after his escape from a Lima co.
Jail last fall.
There was information. it was
said. that Dillinger spent last
Saturday night at the house.
The latest recorded hot tip
came from Vermillian County, Ill.
where a "Squatter" told of being
offered $500 to hide DiIlinger in his
home for a week The "squatter,
E. Bowman of Westville. lives in an
abandoned bOxcar on railroad
siding

Harding and President Roosevelt, he
told her he had inside tips" on

obtained from her $4,000 in Liberty
bonds for investment.
She said that before they took a
trip to the Chicago worlds fair, she
intrusted a $1,000 bond to him, and
he returned the bond and $50
profit" the same day.
The next day, she asserted, she
gave him four bonds and he re-
turned $3.50 profit" but said he
left the bonds overnight in a bank.

'DILL|NGER NO
PAL OF MINE,'
P|ERPONT SAYS
CIaudy'S Name Enters Trial
When Trigger Man
Drops Hint

By United Press
LIMA, o., March 10.-A thrill of
excitement passed through the
crowded county court chamber here
today when defense counsel for
Harry Pierpont, on trial for his life
charged with Staying Sheriff Jesse
Sarber in liberating OHM Dillinger
from a cell last Oct. II, suddenly
called Pierpont to testify.
The terror mobster had sat sui
lenly at counsel table while sue
cession of witnesses identified him
as the trigger man in the killing.
Just face the jury" laid Miss
Jessie Levy, indianapolis, PierpontS
attorney, when the defendant
ambled to the witness chair, look
ing neither to right nor left in the
crowded and heavily guarded room.
Now, state whether you are the
killer of Sheriff Jesse Sarber.'
L certainly am not" Pierpont
barked out, looking unfinchingly at
the jurors.
"Never Owned Machine Gun"
Pierpont was on the witness stand
an hour, approximately forty-f1ve
minutes of which was consumed in
cross examination.
The gangster made a sweeping de-
NAL that he ever had been involved
in any crime since 1925, when he
was sentenced to prison for bank
robbery in Indiana. He declared
that, Il never in my life owned
machine gun"
Il haven't seen Dillinger since last
Halloween" he said. Il met him
then in East Chicago, Ind. That was
before We were arrested in Tucson
Pierpont identified the slain sher-
ifs revolver as one Dillinger had
given him at Daytona Beach, Fla,
last Christmas day. The revolver
was found on Pierpont when he
was arrested in TuScon.
Pierpont said authorities at
Tucson took $1,000 of his wife's
money from him but overlooked
$4,000 he had in a Upper belt.
Face Turns White
Where did you get the money!"
BOtkin asked.
1T was part Of the money we got
when we robbed the KokomO IndD
bank of S21 ,O00."
Only few dollars of the loot was
recovered.
Where did you hide the money!"
Botkin pressed.
I'm not telling" Pierpont flashed
back His face was white. His leg
shackles had been removed, but
handouts still bound his arms.
L insist upon knowing" Mr.. Bot
kin said.
Well, I've forgotten, how'S that?"
the gangster snapped.
PierpOnt denied striking a turn
key during his escape at Michigan
City, Ind, state prison last Septem-
Der.
But maybe he needed it." he
added.
Clandy Is Mentioned
where did you get the guns for
the Indiana break" Botkin asked.
ASK Claudy" the enraged Pier
pont replied, referring to Deputy
Warden Claudy of the Indiana
prison, since dismissed.
Pierpont was snarling at Mr.. Bot
kin. Each fairly barked at the
other
After the escape from Indiana,
Pierpont said he went to Kentucky
and married a childhood sweet
heart, Mary Northern Kinder. The
story of the marriage was told in
simple tones, in strange contrast to
the details preceding it.
But a moment later, PierpOnt re-
verified to a bitter, biting witness. He
made no effort to conceal his hatred
for the man attempting to send him
TO the electric chair.
