TERROR MOB HEADED
FOR MEXICAN LINE,
FREEDOM, IS BELIEF

The fact that John Dillinger
and his terror gang were captured
in Tucson, Ariz., only seventy
five miles from the Mexican Dor
der, has given rise to the theory
that the mob was prepared to
make good its boast that it would
clean UP" in the United States
and clear out for foreign terri
tory.
Added evidence to this theory
is the fact that with Dillinger
and the gang was large quantity
of money and jewels that easily
could be exchanged into currency.
They had leased temporary rooms
in the Congress hotel and had
moved into rented house only
after the hotel had burned.
The gang, four men and four
women, had gathered in Tucson
for a final roundout to make plans
and scatter to the border of
Mexico, experts believe.

life.
The death of hope that his son
might have escaped to South Amer

toll worn face of Mr.. Dillinger as he
talked to his informant in the early
hours Of morning.
The father consistently has
blamed his sons crimes on the long

bed, untroubled with the fear Of his

BANKER ALIVE,

Air of Fear, Anxiety Gone;
Early Release Expected
by Police.
ByJnifed Press

DW z HfttN iffsh
ST. PAUL, Jan. 26--An air of
fear and anxiety was gone today
from the household of Edward G
Bremen, SO, kidnapped banker, but
police and relatives maintained alb
solute secrecy in regard to latest
developments.
AS the result of developments of
the past twenty-four hours. both
police and federal agents made
public statements indicating that
they were not interfering in any
way with the efforts of Adolph
Bremen. the victims father and a
personal friend of President Roose-
welt, to negotiate the safe return OF
his son for 5000 900 ransom.
Reports persisted, however, that
the ransom had been paid and that
Mr.. Bremen would be returned to
his family before Saturday night.
Adolph Bremen Jr., the victim
brother, told the United Press that
he had every reason to believe that
the authorities are laying off until
Eddie is safe" He refused to COM
ment on the report that a delay
between the payment of ransom
and delivery of the abducted man
had been arranged by the kid
naperS.
There was no doubt, however, that
once the president of the CONNER
cial State bank of st. Paul is safe
at home. one of the most compre-
henSive drives in the annals of crime
fighting will be started.
The special anti-kidnaping squad
of St. Paul police has been chatting

In addition. scores of federal agents

STATE COPS ON
WAY TO TUCSON
Leach, Squad Are En- Route
to Arizona; DiIIinger
Custody Goal.

Armed with warrants and sub
machine guns, Captain Matt Leach
and four state policemen today were
en- route to Tucson, Ariz., where
they will seek custody of John
Dillinger and three escaped con-
victs, captured there last night
Besides Dillinger, the officers hold
warrants for Harry Pierpont, Charles
Makely and Russell Clark, together
with warrants for Mary Kinder,
termed the brains" of the terror
mob, and Mary Roe" The latter
warrant is for one of three other
women being held with the terror
gang members.
Captain Leach said he expected
difficulty in obtaining custody of
the gang, because of claims made
by officers in other states.
Police in almost every city of
any size are blaming the Dillinger
gang for every petty crime that has
occurred" he said.
I'VE are positive the gang was
connected only with the freeing of
Dillinger from the Lima (O0 Jail,
in which Sheriff Jess Sarber was
slain; bank holdups at Greencastle
and East Chicago, Ind. and at Ra-
cine, Wis, and st. Mary'S. o.
That is absolutely all they we're
connected with"
Leach said threats that the gang
would be released unless Geographic
copies of warrants against them
were sent Immediately, were made
early today by Tucson officials.
Previously, Leach had wired the
Tucson police chief that warrants
were held here. Later, copies of the
warrants were telegraphed to fore
stall the gangs release.

ROOSEVELT IN
GOOD HEAL TIL
President ThriveS on Grind
That Shattered Nerves
of Predecessors.

By tHited Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is thriving on the
grind that shattered the health Of
his predecessors, a checkup revealed
today.
In proving the exception to the
rule, Mr.. Roosevelt's friends at
tributed his amazing vitality to the
fact that he exercises daily, and,
more important that he also has
the happy facility of throwing aside
the cares and worries of his high
position once decisions are made
He is good-natured.
After nearly a year of work that
would have f1oored even a Demp-
sey, the President has been found
by White House physicians to be in
the pink of condition physically
practically unchanged from last
March when he assumed Office.
Much of this they laid to his daily
swim in the White House pool, that
was built with funds subscribed by
admirers soon after he took Office
Scarcely a day goes by that Mr.
Roosevelt does not plunge into the
tank for a half hour of vigorous
padding that leaves him refreshed
after strenuous hours and in fit
condition to tackle administrative
problems at night.
In addition, the President goes
through a course of calisthentics
similar to the treatment given reg
ularly to the patients of the Warm
Springs Foundation at Warm
Springs, Ga, at which place he is a
yearly visitor.
Mr.. Roosevelt exercises are under
the supervision of Dr. Ross Nc
Intire of the Naval hospital here.

SONte%Js
AS Captain Matt Leach of the
state police traced her lurid career
from the time she joined the Dill
linger mob, following the outbreak
of ten convicts from the Indiana
state prison, to her capture in Tue
son, Ariz., yesterday, authorities
conceded her exploits placed the
desperate forays of the ''bobbed-
haired bandit" and other notorious
women in the lower brackets of
daring.
Born and bred in the influence Of
the underworld, Mary Kinder today
has a husband and a brother in jail.
Her husband, Dale Kinder, an in
mate of the state prison at Mich
igan City, today did not know of her
arrest, nor did her brother, Earl
Northern, doing time in the same
institution.
"Cherchez la Femme"
The old police axiom, "cherchez
Ia femme" was changed to the terSe
command get the woman!" when
police sought to end the reign OF
terror created by the terror mob. y
Blazing the way along the trail
of murder and robbery which
marked the exploits of the mob fol-
lowing the prison break at Michigan
City, the police knew that some cum
ming mind, some clever strategist
was planning the coups of the des-
perate gang of ten escaped convicts.
| Known to be in indianapolis
shortly after the Jail break, the gang
nevertheless managed to evade the
police with ease. The ten convicts,
heavily armed and boasting that
they never would be taken alive, "
/ found shelter without difficulty.
In some manner which mystified
the police, the gang members were
able to get clothes and shed their
conspicuous prison garh.
Gangs Dupe Is Found
The police were not long in find
ing the answer. A woman was
doing it.
They found this out when Al
Feeney, safety director, accom-
panied by the writer, went to a
house on st. Joseph street on a tip.
Sitting on the doorsteps of the
house, his teeth chattering with
fear, police found Ralph Saffell an
Indianapolis youth, who had been
made the dupe of the gang.
| Trembling with fear of repriSalS,
Saffell told of the gang coming into
his home on the west side of town
and forcing him to give shelter.
supervised their movements. She
drove Saffell and two of the men
downtown, where clothing was pur-
chased for the mob in three Wash
ington street stores
The gang left Indianapolis.
Then came the thunderous echoes
of their desperate series of exploits
Banks in all parts of the state were
robbed three of their members
were killed towns throughout
/ Indiana armed and waited anxious
ly for the gang to strike . police
stations were looted Of arms and
ammunition under the very eyes OF

Then the gang moved north to

shot itself out of police traps with
ease and the strategy of the
gang in moving about constantly
outwitted the best detectives in Chi
cago.
And behind all these seemingly
miraculous escapes, the careful
strategists and the successful coups
of the gang, police saw the hand
of Mary Kinder.
