John Dillinger
Outlaw, is Dead
Federal Agents Trap Criminal
Through Tip-Off Of Red-Dressed
Lady Friend Sunday

John Dillinger, the nations most
desperate outlaw, terminated his
criminal career in Chicago Sunday
evening, when he was~shot by Fed
eral agents, as he was leaving the
Eiograph Theatre.
For four and a half months 100
Federal Agents have hunted for Dill
linger. This hunt has cost the
about 100000.
His end was brought about by a
tip-off given to Federal men by one
of his lady friends, and the capture
took place at 10:40 P. NJ, central
saving time.
Dillinger had his hair dyed a
darker hue, the scars on his face
were lifted by plastic surgery, he
wore gold trimmed spectacles, he
had a carefully groomed mustache
and the whorls on his fingertips
had been obliterated by acids.
He attempted to draw a pistol
when trapped in an alley, but was
too late, he paid the penalty for his
crimes. Three bullets were sent
into his body by Federalmen-one
in the neck, two in the body. Thus
ended one of the greatest man
hunts ever staged in the United
States.
Other members Of his gang are
now being hunted, and the govern
ments relentless fight on crime
will be carried on until all are
caught.
