OTHER MEMBERS LEAVE.
Three Men and Woman Extradited to
Indiana.

TUCSON, Ariz., January 80 [P)-
Three members of the Dillinger gang
of Indiana-Harry Pierpont, Charles
Makley and Russell Clark-were placed
aboard a private car attached to train
leaving here today for Indiana. With
them was Mary Kinder, wanted for aid
ing in prison delivery.
Their chieftain, John Dillinger, is en-
route to Indiana by airplane.
Pierpont, Makley, Russell and Miss
Kinder were taken to the depot heavily
shackled and escorted by 80 officers
armed with sub-machine guns.
Matt Leach of the Indiana State
police was granted custody of the pris-
oners shortly after Judge Fred w
Pickett ordered Sheriff John Belton of
Pima County to acknowledge warrants
signed by Gov. B. B. Moeur, granting
their removal.
John L. Van Buskirk, their attorney,
who had hoped TO forestall their extra
dition, said there was nothing further
he could do in the face of the warrants.
Gang Reprisal Feared.
The sudden removal of Dillinger
conducted under cover OF secrecy, came
after Chief Matt Leach OF the Indiana
State police received reports that a
force of gangSters was believed hurry
ing to Tucson to attempt a Jail de-
livery.
Shackled and under guard of four
heavily armed Indiana officers, Dill
linger was whisked in a chartered plane
to Douglas, Ariz.
There. after he was forced to change
his clothes so he would be less easily
recognized, he was placed in an east
bound American Always plane which
left at IA pm
At El Paso Sheriff Chris Fox was
at the field with squad of 10 deputies
and three machine guns when the
plane landed.
When Dillinger emerged bareheaded
he was wearing an OtflcerS overcoat.
and his shirt was torn down the front.
Dillinger said he had been rail-
roaded'' He said he wanted to return
to Wisconsin to face robbery charges
there because there is no capital pun
ishment in Wisconsin"
Also accompanying the desperate
was Nicholas Makar, police chief OF
East Chicago. where Dillinger is charged
with killing an officer during a bank
hold-up.
Escaped From Prison.
The extradition request for Pierpont,
Clark and Makley, charged bank rob-
berry since they escaped with seven
other convicts from the Indiana State
Prison at Michigan City last September
26. Officers said, however, they will be
turned over to Ohio authorities for
prosecution in that State on charge
of numbering Sheriff Jess Sarber in a
raid on the Jail at Lima to release Dll-
linger.
That Dillinger expected the habeas
corpus action to save him was indicated
as he battled against removal from the
Tucson Jail. Even after terrific
struggle against the handouts. the
shrieking 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
allowed to see his attorney, he was
dragged to a waiting automobile and
hurried to the airport.
Though Pierpont, known as the "trlg-
ger man" of the gang, and the Kinder
woman, who at first represented herself
as his wife were issued marriage IL
cense, no ceremony had been performed.
Pierpont and the woman, divorced
wife of Dale Kinder convict in the
Michigan City Prison, refused to discuss
how or when they planned to marry.
