MASON CITY, Ia, March IA
John Dillinger, notorious outlaw,
today was believed to be the ma
chine gunner who shot down a by
stander during a $4,000 holdup of
the First National bank.
Eyewitnesses of the holdup yes
terday selected pictures of the
desperate as one of two machine
gunners Who acted as outside
guards while five confederates loot
ed the bank,
j. w. Wallace of the sheriff's
office asked Chicago police for Dill
inger's fingerprints. He would not
reveal how the prints would be used.
Police guarded the names of per-
sons making identifications of the
arch outlaw j. H. Buchanan,
police officer, however, said that he
believed one machine gunner was
Dillinger.
School Official Wounded
Mr.. Buchanan was among group
of police and vigilantes which was
prevented from firing upon the raid
ers by the placing of hostages to
cover the bandits retreat from the
bank.
The wOunding of R. H. James, sec
rotary of the Mason city school
board, occurred during the firing OF
a burst from Dillinger's machine
gun. Mr.. Buchanan believed.
The gunf1re started when the
bandits inside the bank discovered
Tom Walters, bank guard, perched
in bullet-proof cage above the
heads of the fifty employees and
customers. One of the bandits
spattered Walters cage with bull
let's but none entered the Enclosure
Walters released tear gas into the
bank. He was unable to fire at
the raiders for fear of hitting some
of the bank patrons,
Several Hostages Taken
The shooting inside the bank was
the signal for the bandits lookouts
to open fire above the heads Of the
crowd. James was wounded during
this firing
Despite the tear gas and alarms
the bandits succeeded in obtaining
loot estimated at $4,000. They
forced employees and patrons of the
bank to surround them and took
several on the running-board of
their automobile as hostages. These
persons were released a few miles
from the city.
The bandits automobile was found
near Hanford several hours later
1t was believed that fingerprints
might have been found in this auto
mobile. County authorities believed
that two more automobiles were
used in the holdup
