Hamilton Alive, Says Pierpont
1t was learned several department
of justice men are in Lima today,
investigating two angles of the gang
One is the rumor that some of the
securities stolen by the mob have
been sold recently in Wisconsin, pre-
sumably to finance Dillinger's flight
and also trials of Pierpont, Makley
and Clark.
The other angle is that the car
being driven by Andrew Strachan,
Detroit, Clark'S brother-in -laW, I'M
dOubtedly is one of the cars used
by Dillinger in his flight from
Crown Point, and that it was left
in Detroit to be available in event
it should be needed quickly, Mr..
Lutz said.
At one point in the interview
with Mr.. Lutz, Pierpont said that
he did not believe that John Ham
ilton, former Dillinger gangster,
was dead.

There was some basis for it then.

Pierpont told the Indiana in

times, he declared.

POLICE SQUAD IS
HOT ON JOHN DILLINGER'S

CHICAGO, March PA special squad of heavily armed
police was believed today to have picked the trail of John
Dnger notorious gunman, following the discovery of
hdeaway which the outlaw remained for several weeks
Clews found in top floor apartment the south side
of the city led to renewed search for the desperado Dill
inger woman companion and of Dlngers followers,
Joseph Burns identified the persons who occupied
the apartment from the time of Dngers break from the
Grown Point (Ind.) jail until last Wednesday,

Two other men, identified
from pictures as John Hamil-
ton and Joseph Fox, Dillinger
gangsters, visited the apart
ment several times, a care
taker Of the apartment build
ing revealed.
Sergeant Harry Bingham was
placed in charge of the new hunt
for the outlaw.
The apartment was rented on
the Saturday that Dillinger walked
out of the Indiana Jail with the aid
of a wooden gun. A woman iden-
titled from police pictures as Pearl
Elliott, known companion of mem
bers of Dillinger's gang, rented the
apartment.
Two Weeks Rent Paid
It was occupied on the following
day and the woman paid two weeks
rent in advance after comforting
with a man who remained in an
automobile.
The apartment is located on the
top floor of the building. Three
exits are afforded, as well as. trap
door exit leading to the roof. Dur
ing the time the outlaw stayed in
the apartment he was seen leaving
it only two or three times, and then
always by a dark, rear stairway.
The caretaker said that when Dill
linger and the woman took posses
sion of the apartment they carried
two suitcases and a paper wrapped
package which might have been one
of the two machine guns which
Dillinger picked up at the Crown
Point Jail.
One striking development of
which police learned led to consid-
cradle conjecture. Neighbors in the
vicinity of the apartment house re-
ported that during the time when.
Dillinger was believed to be in
hiding, an airplane circled low over
the apartment house on several oc-
casions.
Police believed that plane might
have been used by Dillinger asSoci-
ates for signaling. 1t was recalled
that an airplane circled low over the
Crown Point Jail on the night pre-
ceding Dillinger's successful break.
Communications could have been
established with an airplane by
some one on the roof Of the apart
ment house, which was accessible
by trap door from Dillinger's apart
ment.
Police found a number Of tele-
grams addressed to j. Schultz, the
name under which the apartment
had been rented The apartment
had been left hurriedly, they said.
Police did not reveal the contents
of the kilograms.

keep MIN from talking on
the Michigan City prison
break.
In lengthy conference with
Harry Pierpont and Charles Max
ley late last night, Mr.. Lutz said he
was informed that "Dillinger was
aided in his break March by per-
sons high in Indiana politics to
shield officials who had guilty
knowledge of the Jail break from
Michigan City last September"
Mr.. Lutz said the gangster limited
certain persons" feared Dillinger
might tell what he knew about how
the ten convicts were enabled to
escape from the Indiana state
prison. Dillinger is reputed to have
engineered the break, smuggling
guns into the prison.
Studying Ohio's Code
His Crown Point escape investiga-
ton and conference with the two
mobsters, Mr.. Lutz said, has deter
mined him to seek revision of the
Indiana criminal code to remove
technicalities which make it easy for
criminals to "beat the rap"
He said he is studying the Ohio
criminal code, which makes changes
of venue, trial delays and other eva
sions difficult.
Mr.. Lutz participated in conclu-
sion of the trial late yesterday of
Russell Clark for the murder of
Sheriff Jess Sarber when the terror
mob freed Dillinger from the Allen
county Jail here.
Summation of evidence was I'M
der way this morning in the trial,
and the case was expected to be in
the jury's hands this afternoon.
Gangsters Talk Readily
MI. Lutz refused to say if the con-
victed gangsters had named spe2
officially any officials who might
have aided in Dillinger's escape, but
admitted they had given him much
valuable information in investiga-
ton of the Crown Point case.
The gangsters admitted, he said,
that they knew no money had
changed hands in the intrigue which
permitted Dillinger's "walkout," but
that regulations of "higher-ups"
which might come to light in trial
of the gang leader for the Staying of
Detective Pat OMalley of East Chi
cago, were at stake.
Facing Mr.. Lutz in the same room
in which Sheriff Sarber was killed
the gangsters talked readily. Pier
pont sat on the edge of the desk
which still bears the mark of one
of the bullets fred at the sheriff in
the desperate fight.
Pierpont Speaks Bitterly
Don Sarber the sheriff's son stood
in a corner of the room with a ma
chine gun levelled at the gangsters
during the interview. Makley and
Clark lounged on chairs, blinking in
the bright light after hours of con-
fnement in unlighted cells.
Pierpont and Makley spoke bit
terly of the testimony of Edward
Shouse, former member of the gang
now serving a life sentence in
City. Shouse testified that
Pierpont fired the shot which killed
the sheriff and that Makley dubbed
the dying man with the but of his
gun.
Il wouldn't squeal on the worst
rat in the world" said Pierpont, his

Win MATCH

MIAMI, Fla, April 3.-George,
town University's golf team today
departed this city with a 6 to 0
victory over Miami University to
it's credit.
Yesterday, over the tricky
Miami-Biltmore course, the visiting
Hoya linksmen ran true to form
and scored easily over the local
collegians.
Low scorer of the day was Joe
Lynch, of the visitors. He rang up
a medal score of 70, which is one
over par, in defeating Capt. Sid
Carson, 6 and 4.
Don O'Brien, Georgetown, had
an easy time with John Slocum,

Partlin'S 6 and, win over Joe
O'Day, OF Miami University, was
nearly as one-Sided. The lone close
battle of the day was between
Walter lyman, G. u, and George

sational finish to go from two
down at the sixteenth tee to / up
at the conclusion Of the 18 holes.

Right up around the top Will
be a prominent Sandlot and
minor league baseball player,
Joe Freschi, tall, black-haired,
slender and sensational, whom
the general run-of mine fan is
overlooking, as he peers into the
future.
Joe, who can generally be
found around the Recreation, is
bowling in four leagues this
year and will roll Bill Clampitt
this week in the second round
of the Match Game Elimination
Tournament. Bill represents Pet
worth and Joe bears the colorS
of Tad Howard's Rendezvous. He
beat Paul Harrison in the first
round.
Defeated Benson
He defeated Sam Benson a
couple of months ago in a memor-
able contest in which Sam led
him until the sixth box in each
game with Joe always winning
out. Two years ago he had high
Sdk1lS VI 4O4 III C1AS 1GOSS1yIl
Mixed Doubles League, and
averaged almost 116 for 90
games. He and his partner,
Miss Audrey Costello, won the
pennant.
Last year he won the Wash
ington City Duckpin Association
singles, while in 1880 he led the
Rosslyn Independent League
with a 112 average. He also led
for the first two blocks of the
Maryland Virginia Sweepstakes
before succumbing in the final
block to a strong field which
saw Ollie Webb beat Astor Clarke
for the title by a single pin. At
that, he ran fourth to Webb,
Clarke and Henry Hiser.

sional, today was $500 richer and
had another championship title
and possibly a worlds record to
his credit.
Competing in the Cavalier
Open, Runyan recorded rounds
of Sc and Ct yesterday to bring
his total for the 72 holes to the
remarkably low gross of 270. In
prior rounds, Little Poison" had
recorded scores of 68 and SO. Par
for the course is 68.
It is recalled that Wild Bill
Mehlhorn's 271 at Ell Paso, Tex,
some time ago was perhaps the
lowest 72-hole score in major
golf. With no thought of detract-
ing from Runyan's sensational
play, but rather for purposes of
the record, it should be explained
that winter rules were observed
during the Cavalier Open and
that the course over which Run
yan played is only 5000 yards in
length.
Runyan won the 1888 Cavalier
Open with a total of 280 strokes.
Harry Cooper, of Chicago, took

CHICAGO, April 3.-Roy Van

list of American League umpires
for the season of 1884 as an
nounced by William Harridge,
president. Only one new name
appears in the list, that of

It is believed that protests

an important part in excluding
Van Graflan from the list of
umpireS for 1884.
