NELSON WIDOW GRILLED.
United States May Make Charge OF
Murder Completely.

Mrs. Lester N. GilliS, widow of the
: slam Dillinger gangster. Baby Face"
? Nelson, today faced barrage of Fed
a eral questions in lieu of Federal
! bullets.
Following repeated denials that
Justice agents had been given shoot
to-kill'' orders for the capture of Mrs.
.GilliS, Attorney General Cummings
I last night confirmed reports that the
gangster's widow is in custody of
Federal agents in Chicago.
She had been in custody OF the
Federal officers since 10 pm. Thanks
. giving day, the department disclosed
, officially, after rumors of the arrest
had leaked out in Chicago.
Taken Without Struggle.
sx Moreover. she was taken by the
: Federal men without the firing of
single machine gun bullet. or even
the welding of a blackjack, officials
said. Nor was she wounded in the
deadly battle at Darlington. Ill, that
cost the lives of her husband and two
Government officers, Inspector Sam
uel P. Cowley and Special Agent Her
! man E. Hollis.
Details of the arrest Of Mrs. Gillis
| the day after the finding of Nelson s
body in ditch near Niles Center were
! being withheld by Justice authorities,
/! but Attorney General Cummings said
that among charges which may be
placed against her is ''complicity in
! murder"
The arrest technically was made
j under a warrant charging her with
violating an 18-months probationary
sentence given her in Wisconsin fol-
lowing her capture at the Little Bo-
henia Inn last April. when John Dill
linger and his gang shot their way to
. freedom. With two other gang girls,
Marie Conforti and Jean Delaney, Mrs
Gillis pleaded guilty to charges of har-
! boring Dilllnger, and judge released
them on probation. All three promptly
/ violated their probation agreements by
rejoining their gangster companions.
Other charges which may be placed
against Mrs. GilliS. Cummings said.
are theft of Government property and
aiding a Federal fugitive to escape
across a State line. The stolen prop
erty charge would arise from her flight
with rer dying husband and his mur-
derous aceomplice in the automobile
which CoWley and Hollis had used in
cornering them at Darlington.
The Interrogation of Mrs. GilliS has
been conducted under supervision of
Inspector Hugh H. Clegg, whom
Hoover sent to Chicago to replace
Cowley in the search for remaining
members of the Dillinger gang.
Cummings refused to say whether
the man who escaped with Nelson and
his wife after the encounter with
Cowley and Hollis has been captured
or identified
Il can't be quoted on that subject"
he declared.

miles to his job at the Virginia Ave-

The railroad worker, F. j. O'Brien,
%, of l09 First street northeast had
been taking the car to a garage to
have bumper repaired when he
apparently lost control. 1t plunged
over the four-foot wall into about
six feet of water. opposite the Ana

south of the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge.
j. J. Mahoney of Clarendon. Va,
a foreman for the District. who was
working on the bridge, said he saw
the automobile run over the sea wall
and that a moment later a man
emerged from the water, crossed
the bridge and proceeded to the Vir-

A front door of the automobile was
found open by members of the fire
rescue squad and police from the har-
Dor precinct as they hauled the car
from the water. The machine. bear

be the property of the railroad.
