MARTYRS
8 Nelson Victims Now Enrolled
Among Those Who Died
In War on Crime
By THOMAS F. CULLEN
International News Service


Two more names appeared to-
day on the honor roll at the
Department of Justice that per.
petuates the names of those who
died in the performance of their
duty.
Herman E. Hollis, special agent
who died from machine gun bull
lets fired by George Baby Face"
Nelson, was etched on the scroll.
Samuel P. Cowley, of Washington,
also of the Chicago Office, was
fatally wounded.
But more deeply was their
memory engraved in the determi-
nation of his brother agents to
avenge his death by the destruc.
ton of the man who has been
described as "one who kills for
the love of killing"
Follow Baum's Name
The names of Mr.. Hollis and
Mr.. Cowley today followed that
of w. Carter Baum, special agent
who died at the hand Of Nelson
at Little Bohemia Lodge, Wis,
April %, when Federal Agents
tried to take Dillinger and Nelson,
who was one of his gang.
First on the roll appears the
name of Edward j. Shanahan,
special agent who, single-handed,
tried to arrest Martin J. Durkin,
known as killer of policemen, at
Chicago in october, 1925. He was
the first of the Justice men T."
die at their post of duty.
Following is the name Of Paul
j. Reynolds, shot and killed at
Phoenix, Ariz., in August, 1880, bS
unidentified persons and whose
death has since been a mystery
Then appears the name of Al
bert L. Ingle, revered by the serv.
ice as one of the finest, who died
at Charlotte, N. c., in November
of 1881. Raymond j. Caffrey's
name adds further luster to the
roll as the agent who died at
Kansas City in the massacre Of
June II, 1888, in defense of the
prisoner, Frank Nash.
The next name is that of Mr..
: Baum.
Another List
And, while the names engraved
are those who died, there is
. another list of the more fortunate
men who took the same chances
but survived with the scars.
Joe Lackey, who was in the
battle at Kansas City, will carry
for life two bullets lodged at the
base of his spine.
Jay C.. Newman recovered
from the wound he received
. from Nelson's gun when Mr..
Baum was killed.
9 Reed Vetterli still carries the
mark of the bullet wound he re-
. ceived at the Kansas City shoot
ing.

witnesses in various parts of the
State, police today hoped defin-
itely to link the three girls found
dead in a lonely mountain fast
ness here SATURDAY. with the man
and woman, victims of a suicide
pact, whose bodies were found in
a railroad flag station near Dun
cansville. Pa.
The face cloths, all hand.
stitched, and bearing *" identi'
fication marks, were discovered
in three different places and, in
the opinion of State Police, may
prove to be the key clues in
the mystery.
Deputy Chief Cecil M. Wilhelm,
of the State police, declared today
that he hoped to prove the girls
and two adults were the California
family, touring in an old automo'
bile, which was seen in various
parts of the State prior to the dis
covery of the bodies.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted to have witnesses who saw
the California family during their
travels view the five bodies today.
The theory that chloroform
caused the deaths Of the girls
was supplanting a belief that suf'
location was responsible.
This theory caused Judge Fred
s. Reese to order the November
Grand Jury to remain for convo
cation at a moments notice to
return an indictment if the case
should warrant it.

Federal Agents Out to Avenge
Death Of Nelson Victims

the death of Mr.. Cowley, resulted
in recommendation by the coro-
ner's jury for the Government to
spare no expense in finding the
killer of the Federal agents.
While Chicago police and Fed.
eral agents engaged in one of the
greatest manhunts in the history
of modern crime, authorities
checked at every hospital and
doctors office in the city in an
effort to learn whether Nelson or
either of his companions had
sought medical aid.
The automobile left by the ter
rorist was found spattered by
bullets. The windshield was
smashed. The steering wheel was
missing and the gasoline tank
was empty. Department of Justice
agents examined the windows of
the car for fingerprintS.
Meanwhile the frenzied search
for the ruthless killer was in
tensified by the arrival of Hugh
H. Clegg, stocky Department of
Justice inspector from Washing
ton, who came here to direct the
manhunt.
The finding Of the car in which
Nelson fled indicated, Federal
agents said, that the killer was
hurrying to the wooded section
of Southern Wisconsin, an area
virtually deserted at this time OF
the year.

CLEVER KID
KIN SAY Of
NELSON
Sister Says Federal Agents
Will Never Get Him Alive;
Can "Care for Self"

CHICAGO, Nov. % G.N.s).
Lester M. Gillis, q, is "a clever
kid"
That is what his family thinks
of the cherubic-appearing youth
who is known to the world as
George Baby Face" Nelson,
Public Enemy No. l.
Mrs. Juliette FitzSimmons, 81,
sister of the desperate, living
with her mother here, came to
the door with a pretty little girl
to receive the news of her
brothers latest escapade. She
said:
"He'S a clever kid"
The little girl was Arlene.
Baby Face" Nelson's four.year-
old daughter.
MOrgue, Not Cell
Mrs. Fitzsimmons went on:
Hes able to take care Of
himself. He won't be cap
tured."
Arlene smiled coquettishly,
scuffed the toe of her slipper
along the door sill.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons continued:
"If they get him, they'll be
taking him to q mOrgue, not a
cell"
Nelson has another child, a five
year-old son. The boy is being
kept by another sister of the
fugitive, living in Bremerton,
Wash.
Nelson has a wife somewhere
Mrs. Fitzgerald said, but neither
she nor Mrs. Gillis know where
she is. Maybe she was the woman
seen at Darlington, maybe not.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons has six CHI.
dren and her husband is a hard
working, respected man.
Career Starts at Is
The crime career of Baby Face
started when he was IS. He was
sent to the reform school for
stealing an automobile. He gradu
ated to the "big time" when he
was sentenced to serve one veal
to life in the State Penitentiary
at Joliet for bank robbery in 1881
A year later Baby Face" was
tried on another bank robbery
charge. He was convicted and re
ceived another one year to life sen
tence.
And then the kid got clever. In
a binding rainstorm he and his
guard neared the prison gates,
Baby Face" escaped.
Nelson then threw in with John
Dillinger shortly after Dillinger en-
acted his famous "toy gun" escape
from the Crown Point GndO jail
And then Nelson's education in
crime began in earnest.
DiIlinger as Tutor
"Baby Face" served as machine
gunner for the Dillinger mob. He
has been identified as the ma
chine gunner in a number of Dill
niger robberies.
"Baby Face" was with the Dill
niger mob at the Little Bohemia
resort near Mercer, Wis, wher
the plan of Federal agents to trap
the gang was bungled. Nelson
was identified as the killer who
fired a gun point-blank at Federal
Agent w. Carter Baum.

ScalH Returns ToNaMgy Team
lSpecial to the Demrocrat)

Naugatuck, Jan 12-Tom Scally, former regular, who has not played with the Naugatuck high school team this year, and whose absence has been the cause of much contro- yersy, is back in the Garnet lineup and as result the local team faces the Central contest tomorrow With much confidence.
 There had been reports of feud between Scally and Coach Peter J.. Foley and only last week Foley had stated that Scally did not make the team. However, he was there prac- ticing with the team yesterday, be- ing tried out at the forward and guard positions.
 Reliable Players
 Scally is no star player but he is usually reliable and should be good balance wheel for the locals to turn on. He can usually be counted on for a certain number of points per game and his three years experience should help him considerably.
 Central comes to the borough with a fine reputation and without Scally the locals chances would look pretty bad. With Scally play ing, however, Naugatuck should have a chance to win although in- dications are it will be close game with Central maybe having @ slight edge. The return of Scally should help the locals morale consider ably. This has been at a very low ebb and was reflected in the play Of the team.
 Receipts Dwindle
 At the practice session yesterday foul shooting was stressed. Poor shooting from the free throw line was a major factor in the Garnets defeat by Stamford. The poor play of the Naugatuck team has been re- fected in diminishing gate receipts. There was a poor attendance at the Stamford game, with the gallery being practically deserted. It is ex~ pected the Central game will draw better as many fans will be inter- ested in seeing just how much Scally's play will help the locals.

Tonight, Crosby takes on Art Stewards lads in Lavendar from the copper city of Ansonia, and what was figured as a "breather" for the Schofield squad may prove to be anything but that, for Cros- by's sudden let-down, and An- sonia's hard win over Wilby may make a real contest out of the af- fair, scheduled for the Wilby gym, with dancing to follow.
 Pretty Slick
 Harding guards did a nice job on Johnny Griffin, who was held scoreless from the floor while the general play of his team must have made Coach Schofield wish his boys had not beaten Naugatuck quite so badly. However, they are expected to get back on their game this evening, for Ansonia' g style of play will force Crosby to its best effort in the greater part of the game.
 Loss of Dave Bartolini in the third period yestreday, hurt Cros- by's windup of the game, though they were pretty much out-played up to that time aside from a fast start which gave them a 6-2 lead during the first four minutes of competition. Raslavsky, Bartolinrs opponent got six field goals, five of them in the first half to carry the burden of the Presidents at- tack.
