THREE BANDITS
TAKEN TO PRISON
CONTINUED from Page ~

Each of the gangsters, Harry
Pierpont, Charles Makley and Rus
sell Clark, was surrounded by a
formidable squadron of guardsmen
deputy sheriffs and police. The
three desperadoes, all former lieu
tenants in Dillinger's once power
full band, were manacled hand and
foot.
Pierpont and Makley will die in
the Ohio prison electric chair July
10. Clark, for whom mercy was re-
commended, will spend the re-
mainder of his days in the prison
without hope of parole.
Ohio was taking no chance in
this latest chapter in the Dillinger
criminal saga.
State highway patrolmen were
secreted along the route. A squad
ron Of Columbus police carrying
new bullet proof shields arranged
to meet the cavalcade at the CO.
lumbus city limits.
Sheriff Sarber sent his car five
miles ahead of the motorcade to
warn village police of the ap-
preaching caravan.
Every precaution was taken to
prevent the rumored raid by Dill
llnSer TO rescue his companions.
Pierpont. Makley and Clark each
rode in a separate automobile. Of
| ficers were instructed that, in event
of an attempt to rescue the gang
sters, the prisoners We're to be
killed rather than permitted to
| fee.
Two army machine gun trucks
| followed Sarber's car. Two nation
al guard scout cars came directly
behind the trucks, then another
machine gun van, followed by al
ternate cars carrying the gang
sters.
| Deputies cars brought up the
rear. Another machine gun truck
guarded the highway behind.
Utmost secrecy had surrounded
plans for the transfer. This morn
ing, however. General Bush, vet
Grams of the world war and numer-
GUS Ohio mine battles, decided to
make the transfer without further
delay

L|NDbERGH'S TELEGRAM DRAWS
SHARP WHITE HOUSE REBUKE
Flyer Severely Criticized For Making State
ment On Air Contracts Public Before
Submission To President.

Col. Henry BrecKinriuge, would in
dicate the message obviously was
sent for publicity purpoSeS-at least
it was published before it was re-
ceived by the President
1.-The President IS executive ord
er under date of February 9th was
issued after the postmaster general
advised the President that 'all
domestic airmail contracts for car
rying the mails have been an
nulled.' The postmaster general
annulled these contracts. Colonel
Lindbergh'S telegram is in error
in that it states the President ord
cred the cancellation of all airmail
contracts.
Colonel Lindbergh' IS telegram
will be referred to the postmaster.
general and to the secretary of
commerce for consideration and ac-
tion.'
A check-up revealed that the
Lindbergh telegram was not receiv-
ed at the White House until 10:15
o clock last night. The message,
however, had appeared in newspa-
perS, editions of which came out
about that time, indicating that it
was made public sometime before
from the office of Breckenridge.
Colonel Lindbergh S telegraphed
protest, the most pointed and per-
hapS the most powerful registered
so far, was addressed to President
Roosevelt, whose abrupt cancella-
ton of air mail contracts on the
, suspicion of collusion, deprived air.
lines of one of their principal
sources of income.
Lindbergh IS telegram declared
that Mr. Roosevelt s action meant
great damage to civil aviation and
| that innocent air lines had been
treated as though they were guilty
of improper conduct in obtaining
government contracts
Lindbergh is technical advisor of
| the TranScontinental and Western
Air, one of the firms which lost its
air mail contracts. 1t was said in
New York, however, that he acted
independently and that his super
iorS in the concern did not know of
his telegram until after it had been
sent.
Meanwhile the army pressed its
plans for taking over the air mail
effective February 49, The country
was divided into three districts
Col. H. H. Arnold will be in cnargl
of the western division. Salt Lake
City will be western division head
| quarters.
Lindbergh IS entrance into the
tense situation existing between the
government and the companies thai
had contracted to fly its air mail
was unexpected. His name hac
been mentioned but once during
the weeks of hearings conducted
by senate committee investigat.
ing air mail contracts granted dur.
ing the Hoover administration Il
was shown that he had received
$250,000 worth of stock in the Trans
continental Air transport when he
was engaged as its technical direc-
tor at a salary of $4,000 a year.

DEPUTIES SENT
To PEA FIELDS
Sheriff Takes Precautions To
Avoid Trouble As Result OF
Latest Strike.

In order to be prepared for any
possible outbreak from the strike
which has been threatening the
pea fields in the Calipatria dis
trict for the past few days Sheriff
George L. Campbell sent a number
of special deputies to that district
this morning. Thirty we're sent
from the sheriff's office here while
an additional As had been deputiz-
ed yesterday afternoon from Cast
patria.
With this force of special dep
uties the sheriff feels confident
that he can handle whatever
trouble might arise in the fields
No reports of outbreaks were re-
ceived here yesterday but it was
thought best to be prepared in
case anything might happen when
the workers went back to the
fields this morning.
1t is understood that a meeting
Of strikers and strike agitators was
held yesterday at Mammoth Wash
From reports received here of this
meeting it was not attended by
much success in trying to get the
strike started again.
The following communication
was received at the county jai
this morning from the Dell Branch
of the Industrial Labor Defense
Los Angeles; "Sirs-Under the NRf
which you are elected to support
the workers are given the righ
to strike for bettering their con.
ditions. We do hereby protest the
terroriStic methods used in I'm
perial Valley against the lettuce
strikers and those workers who
are imprisoned for strike activities
We also protest the use of civilian
martial law by members of the
American Legion and the kidnap-
ing and brutal treatment of law
ycrs sent to the valley to defend
the workers on trial. We demand
the immediate unconditional re-
lease of all lettuce strikers in Jail
and that these tactics Immediately
cease"
In this respect the sheriff stated
that he had received many more
similar communications from points
in California and elsewhere in the
United States from organizations
in sympathy with the strikers in
the valley.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. WP)-
Indications point to publicity
purposes behind the telegram of
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to Pres
ident Roosevelt protesting cancel
lation of airmail contracts, it was
said at the White House today.
The making public of the Lind
bergh telegram in New York City
before it had been seen by Presi-
dent Roosevelt brought forth today
from Stephen T. Early. White
House secretary, a formal state
ment.
Early cited the method employed
in making public the message from
the flyer and added that it would
be referred to Postmaster General
Farley and Secretary of Commerce
Roper.
Early'S statement:
Except when the senders of tel
egrams or other communications
act primarily for publicity pur-
poses, the common practice is to al
low the President, when he is ad-
dressed by them, the courtesy of
receiving and reading their COM
munications before they are read
by others than the person address
ed.
"In this instance the giving out
of a telegram which bears the
name of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
by his attorney and legal adviser,

est above everything else, will sup
port their government in a great
effort to calm passions, which is
our immediate aim.
1.-The economic crisis existing in
the entire world is without prece-
dent in its rigor; people suffer; in
many hearts faith in the future is
shaken.
"Just as the duty of any gov
ernment head is to strengthen
peace between nations. the task of
each citizen in these difficult hours
is to contribute actively in his
country to a moral unon of al

seeking to solve the gravest politi-
cal crisis France had experienced
since the World war.
