trail of the Indiana desperate
two weeks ago.
Mrs. Steve and her son,
Charles Campbell, were ar
rested and held for investiga-
ton pending possible charges
of harboring a fugitive from
justice. Police said they adj
mitted entertaining Dillinger
and Hamilton.
The department of justice men
seized an automobile which Mrs.
Steve said was left behind by Dill
linger and Hamilton when they de-
parted Wednesday.
Dillinger still limps from a bull
let wound in his leg, received in a
Submachine gun duel with federal
men in st. Paul, a month ago, &C
cording to Mrs. Steve. The des-
perado also is suffering from
similar wound in the arm, Mrs.
Steve is reported to have told the
federal agents.
The story of Hamilton's demise
first was told by Pierpont on the
way from Tucson, Ariz., after the
capture of the Dillinger gang in the
southwestern city. At that time,
Pierpont told Captain Matt Leach
and indianapolis reporters that
Hamilton, who escaped from the
state prison on Sept. 26, had been
wounded fatally in the holdup of
the East Chicago bank where De-
tective Pat O'Malley was killed
Dillinger is wanted for the murder
of Mr.. OMalley.
Biblical Letters Received
Pierpont said that the gang COL
lected, $4,000 to give to Hamilton's
family and a few days later, under
cover of darkness, secretly threw
the gangster's body into the Calu-
met river At first inclined to be-
lieve Pierpont's story, police since
have doubted it. First direct asser-
ton that the gangster still lived
came today from his sister, accord
ing to the police.
Meanwhile, federal postal inspec-
tors today were tracing letters con-
tanning significant quotes from the
Bible which Warden Preston E.
Thomas of Ohio state penitentiary
regarded as part of a plot by Dill
linger to free his henchmen, Harry
Pierpont, Charles Makley and Rus
sell Clark.
Admitting Ullat he had frustrated
what he considered plot by the
nations arch-bandit to free Pier
pont and Makley, awaiting execution

a life sentence for the murder of
Jesse Sarber at Lima, O.. Warden
Preston said that postal inspectors
also we're tracing a threatening let
ter received by Governor White a
few days ago.
In the letter addressed to the
Governor, the sender stated that the
official never would finish his term
of office. if he did not pardon the
gangsters
In the letter containing the Bible
quotes, which the warden regarded
as suspicious and withheld from the
prisoners, certain passages of st.
Johns Gospel were underlined. The
letter, it was learned, was received
a week ago, and was withheld from
while an extraordinarily
heavy guard was posted about the
prison.
A second communication contain
ing Biblical pamphlet also was
and contained this
marked quotation which the warden
regarded as significant:
Have no fear. Jesus has come
once. He will come again"
Chapter Is Marked
The scriptural pamphlet, badly
thumbed, had page dog-eared and
a chapter marked with paren-
thesis in blue ink.
Let not your heart be troubled;

have told you. I go to prepare a

In the same passage, but not I'M
derlined, was the following quota
ton from the same passage in the
Bible:
And if go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again and re-
ceive you unto myself; that where
I am there shall We be also.
And whittier I go. We know and
the way We know
