clear nm details of how Samuel
P. Crowley and Herman +: Hol-
lis. federal agents, were fatally
wounded Tuesday at a filling sta
ton near harrington, ILL.,, when
they encountered Nelson and
two companions.
Cummings refused to discuss
the case other than to issue
formal statment praising the
heroism of Cowley and Hollis.
"This tragic event." he said,
sis another illustration Of the
ruthless challenge of the under
world with which our people are
confronted"
Senator William H. King, o.,
Utah, promised to try to obtain
pensions for members Of the
slain mems families, and that
was the last official word on the
subject until mid-afternoon. Then
Cummings called newspapermen
to his office. Assistant Attorney
General William Stanley was with
him. The word had just been
flashed to them from Chicago
that Nelson's body had been
found.
Cummings broke the news:
Then Stanley filled in some OF
the details. He said force of
federal men went to the vicinity
of harrington Tuesday on a tip
that. they would find Nelson. Two
agents in an automobile encoun-
tered him first and engaged in
gun fight with him in which no
one was hurt.
, Then Cowley and Hollis encoun-
tered Nelson at a filling station.
As they gut out of their car, the
outlaw opened fire on them.
"Our men were armed with
machine guns" Stanley said,
"and they returned the fire. And
from the number of wounds in
Nelson's body you can see that
they did it effectively"
The justice department then
