Baby Face Nelson's Widow
Breaks cangland Tradition,
Talks Of Gangs Work

Chicago, Dec. 6.-(P)-Because
Baby Face Nelson's widow broke a
gangland tradition by talking, fed
eral manhunters were reported ready
Thursday to deliver the cleanup blow
to the fragments Of John Dillinger's
crime mad gang.
One report said the government
agents had much of the information
they need for their big drive against
the public enemies and that more
was coming into their possession" as
they continued to question the d.
minutive widow, Mrs. Helen ellis.
She was arrested 48 hours after her
husband and male companion
killed Inspector Samuel p. Cowley
and Agent Herman Hollis Of the De-
partment of Justice in . gun battle at
Darlington in which Nelson also was
killed.
The report tina. Mrs. ellis dis
closed secrets Of the Dillinger gang
was coupled with q rumor that her
sister, Mrs. Juliette Fitzsimmons of
Chicago, had voluntarily submitted
to questioning, but Inspector H. II.
Clegg refused to say whether this
was true.
It was indicated that Mrs. ellis
would be taken to Madison, Wis. for
sentence in federal court Thursday
on charge Of violating the proba-
ton granted her last summer when
she pleaded guilty to harboring Dill
linger and Tommy Carroll at the
Little Bohemia resort near Mercer.
Wis, scene Of sensational escape by
Dillinger and his men last April.
Mrs. ellis was taken secretly to
Madison, Wis, before daylight Thurs
day. She will be arraigned as pro-
baton violator.
The government agents have never
announced whether they learned the
identity Of Nelson's companion in the
battle of harrington. but other in
vestigators have expressed belief that
either John Hamilton or Alvin Karpis
was involved.
These reports prompted Karpis'
mother, Mrs. John Karpayicz Of Chi
cago, to appeal through a newspaper
for him to surrender.
Addressing him as my dearest
son." she said:
"You are playing a game you can
not win. The government men have
sworn to track you down and they
shoot to kill. You must give your
self up. Don't make it necessary for
them to kill YOU"
