Silence Continues to
ShrOud Bremen Case

St. Paul, Jan. 3o.-(R)-Fourteen
days-days Of alternate hope and
anxiety-have passed since Edward
g. Bremen. wealthy st. Paul banker,
Was taken by kidnapers demanding
$500 900 ransom and still no sign has
been given, outwardly at least. as to
when he might be freed.
Whether communication has been
established with the gang by the
family within the last week was con-
jectural, although Adolph Bremen,
wealthy brewer. father Of the bank
or and . friend Of President Roose-
welt. has denied that contacts have
been made.
Persistent reports that at least one
contact with the gang had been e.
sected since the original ransom note
cas- found shortly after Bremen Vas
seized Jan. II, continued IN the face
Of family denials and Z new display

.or Indiana Being taken with them
was Mary Kinder, wanted for aiding
in Z prison delivery.
Their chieftain, John Dillinger. is
en- route to Indiana by airplane.
Pierpont. Makley, Russell and Miss
Kinder were taken to the depot heav-
lily shackled and escorted by 80 Of
f4cers, armed with sub-machine guns.
Fighting and protesting, Dillinger
was carried out Of Arizona in q swift
airplane maneuver Monday night
ahead Of q habeas corpus writ that
would have delayed his departure at
least another day.
Extradition Of the group to Indiana
was authorized by Governor B. b.
Moeur In Phoenix as he honored that
states acquisitions presented by At
to1ney General Phillip Lutz, Jr.
Hear Delivery Rumors
The sudden removal Of Dillinger
occurred when state police received
reports here that . force of gang
sters were believed hurrying to Tue
son to attempt . Jail delivery.
Shackled and under guard of four
heavily-armed Indiana officers, Dill
linger was whisked in Z chartered
plane to Douglas, Ariz.
There, after he was forced to
change his clothes so that he would
be less easily recognized, he was
placed in m eastbound American
Always plane which skinned away
at 11:14 p. m.
After arrival at Ell Paso, Carroll
Holley, deputy sheriff from East
Chicago, Ind, said the prisoner and
his escort would continue on the
plane to Fort Worth, Tex, where q
"short" stop would be made. Sheriff
Chris Fox of Ell Paso was on hand
at the field with = squad Of 10 depu-
ties and three machine guns when
the plane landed.
Shirt Was Torn
When Dillinger emerged, bare
headed, he was wearing an officers
|overcoat, and his shirt was torn down
the front.
Dillinger said he had been rail
roaded." He said he wanted to re-
turn to Wisconsin to face robbery
charges there because, "there is no
capital punishment in Wisconsin"
The extradition request forJ Pier.
pont, Clark and Makley, charged
them with bank robbery since they
escaped with seven other convicts
from the Indiana state prison at
Michigan City last September 26. Of
ficers said, however, they will be
turned over to Ohio authorities for
prosecution in that state on charge
Of numbering Sheriff Jess Sarber in

Dillinger.
That Dillinger expected the habeas
corpus action, which came too late in
his case, Was indicated rs he battled
against removal from the Tucson
Jail. Even after I terrific struggle
against the handouts, the shriekine
and cursing gang leader was not
subdued. He attempted to prevent
his removal by bracing his feet
against the bars Of his cell.
Still shouting demands that he be
