papers and magazines, he related.
He told how his father had died
when he was seven months old and
how he had been the only one of
the four salt children at home DUR
ing the three days Dillinger and his
sweetheart were in hiding there.
When Dillinger arrived, he said,
he put his automobile in the garage
and was treated for his wounds by
DR.. May. He remembered one of the
medical treatments well-it was at
2 o'clock in the afternoon on one Of
the days.
Miss Frechette Identified
Miss Frechette was identified as
the wife of Weldon Sparks, who is
serving a 15-year term for mail rob-
berry Her divorce petition has been
pending since Janury, it was brought
out.
The Identification was made by
Michael H. Bodkin, Chicago lawyer
who prepared -, divorce suit, and
Elsie Wallins, his secretary, who
typed the documents.
Disclosure of the governments
knowledge of Dillinger's oalked
plans came with introduction of a
yellowed notebook as evidence in the
trial of his French Indian sweet
heart, Evelyn Frechette. on charges
Of offering him refuge.
Before the guide" was lost, Dill
fingers gang successfully executed
bank holdups in Mason City, Ia,
and Sioux Falls, S. D. Ninety thou
sand dollars taken in those two rob-
berries was stored, federal agents be-
lieve, for use in final fight to
South America.
Gangs Luck Broke
The gangs luck broke on March
81 when frightened Miss Frechette
slammed an apartment door against
two men, and screamed TITS the
cops"
A few minutes later Dillinger
sprayed a leaden ,oarrage through
the doorway and broke to freedom
with the girl.
In his haste Dillinger left behind
him the Getaway Guide" Inves-
tigators found that it covered every
detail of a highway route. Speed
ometer readings were given to the
tenth of a mile. Turns, curves, cross
roads, bridges and even bumps we're
noted and there we're instructions
for speed and warnings to slow
down" for bad stretches of highway.
Federal agents tracing the route
backward, found themselves in New
ton. A crude map led them to the
bank.
Trap Laid for Outlaw
The original of the log was COM
piled by Eddie Green, st. PaIL
gangster, and given to Dillinger,
who copied it. Loss of Dillinger's
copy might not have been disastrous,
but Dillinger also left in his apart
ment a machine gun butt. The butt
was traced to Green, and on April
3 he was shot down. The original
guide was found in his room.
For days the Newton bank was
watched in the hope that Dillinger
might walk into trap Reports said
that the outlaw actually did go to
Iowa after leaving st. Paul and
Minneap polls, but did not stop.
Federal agents are convinced that
the shooting of Green and loss Of
the guide was all that halted the
proposed robbery.
