was the cause of the trigger mans
alleged oath to knock him off,
Flying squadrons of soldiers con-
tinued fruitless sorties in various
parts of Allen county today in
search for Dillinger

meted soldiers, accompanied by
Larry Vanskaik Of the Ohio national
guard criminal identification bu-
reau, left Brigadier- General Harold
M. Bush'S headquarters here in

matter of routine now"
General Bush said that Clark'S
suspicious actions in the lower
corridors of the courthouse yester-
day while being led from the court
room, where he is being tried for
his life, to the jail led to a more
rigid search of all persons seeking
admission to the courtroom during
the trial.
Clark Sneers at Witness
Clark, according to General Bush,
took a great interest in the posi-
ton of all doors leading from the
courthouse to the street, and at
one time, his guards reported, Clark
crouched as though to spring
through a door leading into an al
ley back of the courthouse.
It was noted during the trial 'eS~
terday that Clark lost his leth-
argic attitude which has earned
him the name of sleepy" among
the spectators, when Art Miller,
states witness and convicted muir
dered, told of purported gang hide
outs in Indiana and Ohio which he
alleged Dillinger had told him
about.
Clark sat bolt upright N his
chair while Miller testified and lis
tenede to every word His dark eyes
smoldered and his lips curled in a
sheer. When Miller finished, Clark
relaxed and slumped into his Gus
tomary attitude of Indifference.

lice force, who participated in the

On the witness stand, Sherman

Stationing officers at vantage
points, he said, the sergeant, pencil
and paper in hand, walked to the
porch of the house and pretended
to have a letter from Makley to
