REVEAL PLOT
BY D|LL|NCER

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 70.
A frustrated plan of John Dhnn-
ger to free three members OF SfllS
gang from the Lima, Ohio, Jail by
disgusting gangsters as national
guardsmen was revealed today by
Capt. Matt Leach of the IndianaS
state police.
The three men whom DilNnger
planned to liberate are Charles
Makley. Russell Clark and Harry
Pierpont, all of whom were convict
ed at Lima on charges Of killing
Sheriff Jesse Sarber
"From information which came
to us, we have learned that Dillin-
ger actually made an effort to free
the three men, Leach said. :
"The plan called for eight gang /
sters dressed in army uniforms t
pose as Ohio national guardsmen
"Another gangster was to dress
as a lieutenant. The plans were to-
have the gangsters enter Lima at
night and hide in town until just
before court adjourned in the after
noon. Then they were to present
fake credentials SAID to have been
signed by the Ohio governor and
ask for custody of the prisoners on
the pretext that they were to move
them temporarily because of raid
scare.
"Dillinger did net go TO Lima
himself but sent John Hamilton,
and Joe Burns, two of his hench-
men, there. They reported the
plan was impractical.

Sent After Session
Sending of this telegram was au-
thoriZed in a special meeting fol-
lowing the adjournment of the reg
ular board session yesterday after
noon. With the breakup of this
meeting the individual supervisors
had started to leave the courthouse
when news of the appointment was
received
Supervisor Venoill stated this
morning that he had left for Holt
vile and that efforts were made to
contact him by telephone. inform
ing him of the action contemplat-
ed. but these failed. He declined to
state whether he approved or dis
approved Of the action taken by his
associates.
Supervisor Preble said that he
knew of the news item telling OF
the appointment but took no part in
the meeting which authorized the
telegram to be sent to Washington,
as he felt that the county board had
no authority to tell a federal de-
partment what it should or should
not do.
Further United Press dispatches
received today state that high la
Dor department officials would not
withdraw the appointment of
Glassford who has indicated his ac-
ceptance OF the pest and expects to
