aid Dillon, arrived at police head
quarters shortly before noon today
after a quick trip from the farm
where he is employed near Reming-
to-. Ind He went into conference
at once with detectives Of the homi-
eide squad.
Mr. Dillon. a middle-aged man
with a deeply tanned face. was &C
companied by two men who, police
said. were his brothers. All three
went into the detectives Office.
Their conference was expected to
last we'll into the afternoon as police
sought from Mr. Dillon information
which. they hope. may clear up some
matters about the Dillon family
arrangements which still puzzle
them
Earlier today. Chief Simon had
announced that Mr.. Dillon had been
located through the Sheriffs office
A. Rensselaer,. county seat Of Jasper
county. in which Remington is To-
Gated.
The chief. who later refused to
allow reporters TO talk to Mr.. Dill
lon until detectives had finished
their conference with him. said he
had no intention Of arresting Mr..
Dillon and. on the other hand. was
most hopeful the father could pro-
vide valuable aid.
Chief Simon said ne had investi-
gated Mr.. Dillon's record and indi-
Gated he had found it good.
Negroes Are drilled
Shortly before Mr.. Dillon arrived
members of the homicide squad re-
turned to the county Jail two Ne
gro suspects in the case after a
morning Of questioning them, pO-
lice admitted, without results.
Meanwhile, Lawrence Shaw. at
torney for Gilbert Jacobs. 81. of
1871 Shelby street. for whom Mrs.
Dimmie Dillon. DOnald'S mother,
Seps house and with whom she,
bOnsld and his brothers and sister
have lived for some time. threatened
10 sue out writ Of hsbeas corpus
unless Jacobs was released this af-
ternOOn.
Mr. Shaw. who also represented
Mrs. Dillon when she obtained her
divorce from the boys father last
year. has denied vehemently that
sacobs knows more of the killing
lnan has been told and has voiced
suspicion OF the father.
Charges against Jacobs - n d
against the two NegroeS-are va
grancy. Bond has been set at
5000 each. The two Negroes held
are Addison and William Jackson.
brothers. 1888 Calhoun street.
Missing Gun Hunted
The Jackson brothers we're ar
rested. and are being held. because
of past records of having moleSted
children near the bridge over Pleas
Run creek. at Minnesota and Shelby
streets. under which DOnald's body
was found Tuesday when a storm
sewer backed up and flushed it into
the creek.
Police investigators say that
Jacobs stories have differed as TO
what happened to a .22-caliber rife
which was in his room until about
the time Of the murder. The bullet
which killed Donald was fired either
from a p or -25-caliber rifle. Dep
uty Coroner John E. Wyttenbach
has announced.
Mrs. Dillon has told police Jacobs
bought the gun several months ago
and had told the boys they might
Use il under his supervision. The
differences in Jacobs stories seem.
from what little police will say. TO
have been as to when he last had
the gun in his possession.
Mr.. Shaw said this morning that
both Jacobs and Mrs. Dillon were
agreed the gun first had been
missed Monday noon. shortly before
Dcnald'S disappearance had been
reported to police. This did not
seem to jibe with Mrs. Dillon's
earlier statements to reporters and.
according 10 police. to official inves-
tigators.

The mother, who yesterday ex-
pressed the desire that JACOBS
might attend her sons funeral. to-
day admitted 10 reporters that,
we're II not for the remarriage pro-
hibition IN her divorce decree. be-
cause her husband was served by
publication. she would have married
Jacobs before this.
She described Jacobs as being an
ideal parent for the children. and
contrasted him fsvorably with her
husband. from whom she won an
