Purvis refused TO say who the

Seeking the hideouts used by Dill

police were engaged in a house-to-
house canvass of the Lakeview dis
trict on the city's North Side. They
were hopeful that they might obtain
valuable information through the
seizure of the bandits personal effects.
They had little hope that even If
they did discover one or all of the
hiding places they would uncover the
remainder of the loot taken in his fire.

Authorities speculated over wheth-

dwindled to the few dollars found on

North Side theater Sunday night
| Dillinger, private investigators con-
cluded, was broke, or virtually so. and
could no longer pay to keep closed
the lines of communications to the
authorities.
Alive, Dillinger wasn't worth much
in dollars Dead, there was a price
tag of 5000 on his head. And that,
the investigators concluded, is why
someone put him on the spot"
Who it was, is a secret.
There were reports that a woman,
dressed in red, was beside the desper-
ado when the Federal agents pumped
their deadly bullets into his body, and
that it was she who lured him to his
end. The same reports said the
woman now is hidden away in a
hotel, closely guarded by Federal
agents.
Tipster Won't Be Known
81 won't discuss it," said Purvis.
Probably" said Purvis, the per-
sons who gave the tip will never be
known"
There was every indication, how
ever, that Federal officials knew who
supplied the information that ended
the Indiana outlaw. Attorney Gen
eral Homer S. Cummings who stopped
in Chicago last night briefly while en-
route to Hawaii, said he knew who
furnished the tip, but that he would
not direct payment of the reward
until after his return from the mid
Pacific.
The girl in red' and a woman
companion were reported by the Chi
cago police to be held, but the Fed
eral agents denied this.
Other reports mentioned the names
of two convictS who might have given
the authorities the tip of death"
From them, the reports said, Sergt.
Martin Zarkovich of the East Chi
cago, Ind. police might have received
the information that Dillinger could
be found at the theater. IN this con-
nection it was regarded as significant
that the sergeant and several other
East Chicago policemen were on the
scene of Dillinger's death.
Took FurIough for Hunt.
Sergt. Zarkovich took a furlough,
and it was no secret that he took it
for the sole purpose of looking for
Dillinger. He loafed around pool
rooms and otner places where infor-
nation about Dillinger might be had
He got it, presumably, but so did the
Federal investigators.
The end of Dillinger, Federal au-
thorities said. is but the beginning of
