Il killed my first man when
he accused me unjustly of
owing him money!" Pierpont
was quoted as continuing, as
he talked in a loud voice that
could be heard by John Dill
linger, Charles Makley and
Russell Clark, his fellow mob
sters.
You're just a dirty baby killer, "
Martin retorted disgustedly as he
walked away. Enraged at Martins
taunt, the trigger man" of the
Dillinger mob screamed at the
deputy sheriff.
That's a frameup," shouted Cap
tain Matt Leach of the Indiana
state police when he was notified
that all of the Dillinger mobsters
had waived extradition to Wiscon-
sin and that Indiana and Ohio
probably would lose the fight for
their custody.
whats the Use?'
Whats the use of taking them
to Wisconsin, where the best they
can get will be nineteen years for
bank robbery" dejectedly asked
Captain Leach.
Disposition of the mobsters' Gus
tody was put squarely up to Chief
c. A. Wollard of Tucson. Justice
c. v. Budlong said he would dis
pense with the hearing he had
scheduled for tomorrow and was
willing to let Wisconsin have the
mobsters, if Chief Wollard assented.
The justice said the Wisconsin
extradition papers were in order
and that it appeared Wisconsin
was the only state where any just
rewards might be paid to Tucson
police who captured the prisoners.
Captain Leach anxiously awaited
the arrival Of Philip Lutz Jr., In
diana encouragement who has the
eXtradition papers for Indiana and
Ohio.
Seeks Federal Aid
Meanwhile, Captain Leach vainly
attempted to engage the aid of the
federal operatives in holding the
gangsters here and Illustrate the
move to take them to Wisconsin,
where there is no death penalty.
joni VanBuskirk, defense at
torney, said that he would release
the four gangsters and their women
to Wisconsin authorities as soon as
the waivers were signed. Sheriff
John Bolton Of Tucson said that he
would consent to the release, because
he is extremely anxious to get rid
of the members of the terror mob.
Pierpont's love for Mary Kinder,
Indianapolis gun mol" was the
emotional element which first had
held up the efforts of Racine au-
thorities to remove the gang imme-
diately to that city, where they are
wanted for a bank stickup.
Dillinger, Makley and Clark. it
was learned, had agreed with Grover
c. Lutter, Racine police chief, and
John Brown, Racine county district
attorney, to sign the waivers, rather
than go to Indiana and Ohio, where
murder charges confront them.
Pierpont held out at first. Con-
fronted by Mr.. Brown, Pierpont,
dressed in freshly laundered blue
shirt, pulled nonchalantly on Gig
aret as the Wisconsin authorities
Questioned him.
Il Never Heard of 1t"
you know, Pierpont, that We
don't have the rope or the chair in
Wisconsin" said Mr. Brown. I'VE
want you for that $4,000 bank job
in Racine How about it?"
Pierpont showed his white teeth
in an enigmatic smile.
Racine, Racine? Let me see?"
he said, coolly. Why, I've never
heard of that place"
A look Of amazement overspread
Dillinger's face as he heard Pier
points remark. He gripped the bars
of his cell, directly next to Pier
points. and craned his neck to hear
more. But Pierpont picked up a
magazine and lapsed into silence.
When told of the colloquy, Mr..
Van Buskirk tilted his sombrero back
on his head and appeared not at all
surprised.
Indiana Officers on Hand
Sure" he said, Harry doesn't
want to leave poor Mary out here
in the desert. Why they're in love,
man. I heard she has a husband
