 Made to Be PrObed

Thomaston, Me, July "A. (UP)- A gubneratorial investigation of conditions at state prison was to begin here tomorrow after recap ture of James M. Mitchell, 25- year-old Portland torch slayer, one of three escaped convicts.

 Mitchell, discovered lying beside a road near Waldoboro last night, submitted to capture by two un- armed garage men and was re- turned to the prison.
 Clarence Hill and Ralph Morse, both 30, drcve up to Mitchell, flashed a light in his face and de- manded his, surrender.
 Docilely, Mitchell accompanied them to the prison, where Warden Raymond Thurston ordered him placed in solitary confinement. He refused to reveal his whereabouts since his escape. He still was clad in prison dungarees.
 Governor Louis J. Brann and the executive council voted to come here tomorrow to investi- gate conditions.

Wood stunned the crowd of less than 1000 by breaking Crawford's S service in the first game. scoring with two brilliant backhand place. ments. Jack retaliated by break ing Woods service in the second game, registering on two spark ling volleys at the net. Wood again broke service in the fifth game, two startling passing shots putting him into 3-to-2 lead when the umpire ordered the time-out.
 After the intermission forced by rain Wood took to the net to hold his own service in the sixth game and to gain lead of four games to two.
 He dropped the next game on Crawford's service. He played this game from the baseline. He re- mained at the baseline to score with two deadly overland kills and win the eighth game to lead 5-3.
 Sharply angled volleys which left the Australian flat footed en- abled Wood to break service again in the ninth game and take 6-3 win in the opening set.
 Rain again interrupted play, as Crawford was leading seven games to six in the second set.
 Crawford played furiously in the second set. He took to the net re- paetedly. and continued his tac- tics in breaking Sidney's service to win the 18th game and lead by z to 6 as fresh shower began.

VALUABLE RACE
 HORSES BURNED
(Continued from Page l.)

 Hero of the fire was Oral, a four-year old gelding whose paw ing and neighing in it's smoked choked stall led to the discovery of the blaze by George Davis, 51, of New York, a groom Oral ran against a fence, tore it's rear right leg and had to be shot.
 From the stable in which ii started. the fire spread swiftly to an adjoining stable and was threatening the entire park when aid arrived from three Massachu- setts communities, Lawrence, Me- thuen and Haverhill.
 During the excitement attending the fire, half dozen additional horses were rumored killed, but early to-day Eddie Mack, a park official, announced that all horses had been accounted for and that the dead had been definitely fixed at six.
 One horse first believed was Crazy Jane, another member of the Flippen stable, which was runnerup to the Pelican in yester- terday's five-furlong race. But when the fire had been controlled, shortly before midnight. Crazy Jane was found unharmed.
 Davis, the groom who discovered the fire, and who Is employed by the Lawrence Kendall stable of Kentucky, lost all of his personal belongings in rescuing Oral, Aquira and DevOnshire.

 The federal postotfice inspection service went on the cold trail four years ago. Five of the most notori . ous con men are now in prison at Easton, Pa, One of them. John J. Engleston, of Worcester.

 Throughout the trial there was no effort on the part of the two underworld barons of Reno to deny their business. They admitted. not without some pride. the!r owner- ship in the gambling houses. Gra- ham admitted, less complacently his ownership of stock in the Riv- erside and Acme Securities cor. porations which ran Reno's sesre. gated district. But they insisted that participation in a confidence game was utterly abhorrent to the sensibilities of real gamblers.

SKY MAIL TRAIN r. TO BE ATTEMPTED
Biplafie Will Have Three Gliders Attached, Each
 Filled With Mail

New York, July 24-(UP)-The first use of a ''sky train" exclus- lively for carrying mail will be at tempted Monday on flight from New York to Washington.
 Plans for the flight were being completed today by Jack O'Meara 1888 gliding champion, in cooper ation with Postmaster General Farley.
 The Locomotive" will be a bi- plane, piloted by John Riggs. Att tached by ropes will be three glid- CTS in a fan-like formation.
 The first glider. carrying 200 pounds of mail for Philadelphia, will be flown by Stanley Smith. It will be cut off when the train" is over that city.
 . The second glider, piloted by Dr B. E. Franklin. of the University of Michigan, will hold 200 pounds of mail for Baltimore.
 The third will be piloted by O'Meara. He will attempt to land on the White House lawn with off, cial government mail, while the lane continues on to Boiling Field.
 The flight will be backed ty- the Luskin Sky Train corporation in an attempt to prove it's practica- bility in carrying mail. Successful glider train flights have been made in the United States and In Russia and Germany.

Accompanying the testimony were the click of roulette wheels, the whirr of the bird cage. the cries of the stick-men in the crap games. Also entering into the evil dence was the flamboyant part sec- tion of Reno known as the stock ade''--modern improvement on the old time "crib" that existed in every plains and mountain city in the old, robust days.

 Mckay and Graham were not on trial for gambling. not for operat- ing the houses which Judge Hincks described in blunt Anglo-Saxon speech.

ities refused to turn the body over to his father until it had been ex- hibited.
 Search for George (Baby Face) Nelson, successor to the title Of National Public Enemy No l, was prosecuted vigorously in Detroit.
 The little machine gunner was sighted yesterday near Sandusky, Ohio, according to a filling station owner. An automobile resembling his was used in a Detroit holdup a few hours later.
 It was Nelson who killed w.. Carter Baum, Washington federal agent, when he,, Dillinger, John Hamilton and others of the gang shot their way from ambush at Spider Lake, Wis, in early spring. Purvis Conceals Tipster Melvin Purvis, chief investigator here for the department of justice, refused even to admit that ne knew the whereabouts of the woman in red". He would say only that "our source will be re- warded."
 There was a possibility. Purvis admitted, that none of Dillinger's $ mammoth loot would be recov- cred. The dapper little desperate had only $7.S1 in his pockets when killed. He was notoriously fond of carrying an impressive roll. Other members of his gang Hamilton, Nelson, Homer Van Meter, Joseph Burns, and others may have considerable portions of money taken in series of bank raids. The gang obtained $28,000 only three weeks ago in a South Bend, Ind, robbery.
 "We'll get the rest of the gang and then we'll have the answers tu a lot of questions" Purvis said.

LURE OF WOMEN
 KILLED BANDIT
(Continued from Page 1.)


 When he started on the trip, Dillinger made the error that led to his eventual death. He was not content with one woman. He took two, thereby sowing the seeds of jealousy which contributed to his death.
 Abandoned by his confederates because the "heat" was on him, Dillinger and the two women hid out in the north woods for a week, returning to Chicago July 14. The strategy of the return was typical of the Dillinger cunning that for months kept him beyond the reach of the best criminologists in the nation.
 Instead of driving directly into the city-he knew the roads were watched-he drove to Harrington Ill.,, near the Arlington race track. The Arlington Handicap was run that day and Dillinger sat in the back seat of his stolen automobile and rode serenely into the city with tl.e woman in red" at the wheel amid such crowd of homeward bound race-goers that there was small chance of detection.
 This time, however. his stay in Chicago, was brief. Always on the move, Dillinger and his two com panions drove eastward across northern Indiana to Fostoria, o.. where they were seen July IT.
 Two days later the trio appeared in Whiting, Ind, and it was while there, it was believed today, that the woman in red," made contact with East Chicago police that led to Dillinger's death.
 Martin Zarkovich of that depart ment, a clever investigator and with a knowledge of Dillingers $ women companions who previously had frequented dance halls and bar rooms in his territory, made the connection.
 DiRinger and his women came to Chicago the last time on the eve ming of July 20 and stopped at a North Side hotel. One of the wom- en registered for him.
 That was Thursday evening.
 Friday and Saturday Dillinger remained in seclusion, doubtless suffering in the hotel room from the stirling heat that prevailed.
 sunday he decided to go to see the picture Manhattan Melo- drama" and the woman in red" found an opportunity to let Zarko. vich know of the plan.
 The East Chicago police notified Melvin Purvis and the trap was set.
 Purvis set the trap personally. He dropped cigar as a signal to his subordinates to close in on Dillinger. Perhaps Purvis fired the shot that killed the outlaw al- though he denies 1t. Under the creed of the department of justice which Purvis heads here it never will be formally announced who was responsible.

tained severe injuries to knee, right leg and wrenched back.
 In the other suit the. plaintiff claims he was moving small ob- ject to the cellar of his home at 21 Welton street, November 28. 1883. when he tripped on the stairs and was thrown headlong. Injuries to his back and legs are alleged. At torney John Mehbrino brings the suit.
 Tn the injunction suit, James and Lucy DiVito asks the court to re- strain Luigi Nallo from allowing water to run on to their property at Third street. It is claimed the water rushed over their land from the plaintiffs, destroying their vegetable and clover garden.
 The suits against the benefit societies are brought by Florence Podsiedlik. She sues the Polish Society of the Mutual Aid for $500 and the St Stanislaus Kostko so- ciety for a similar amount.
 She claims her husband, Adolph, joined the societies and paid cer- tain sums for which his beneficiary was to receive $100 in addition to $t from each of the members. The amounts were not paid the suit says.

 Coroner Frank. J. Walsh prom ised to turn over the body today.
 The old man cancelled his plan of going to the desolate county morgue. Johns half brother, Hu- bert, and county officials dissauded him from the ordeal.
 Police Sergt Played Part
 The part played in Dillinger's end by Sergt Martin Zarkovich, East Chicago policeman whose partner was killed in a Dillinger bank raid January IS. became more apparent as details of the Sunday night shooting were re- vealed.
 Zarkovich received countless congratulations. Like the federal agents, he refused to talk.
 It was an open secret, however. that he had been on furlough for the specific purpose of running pillinger to earth since his friend, Policeman William P. O'Malley, was killed.
 Zarkovich hung around pool rooms. saloons and hoodlum hang outs for weeks before his quest bore fruit.
 He met several former inmates of the Indiana state prison where Dillinger once was held. One con- tact led to another. The trail dimmed, faded and frightened again. He would not reveal what happened Sunday, but this much was certain.
 Zarkovich and five East Chicago policemen were with 12 federal agents when they laid the ambush for Dillinger outside the Biograph theater. Chicago police were not Feven aware the coup was planned.
 The conclusion was that Zarko- vich furnished the contact that brought Dillinger to death.
