ST. PAUL, Mimi, April %
INS0.-Belief that George
("Baby Face") Nelson, Dillinger
machine-gunner, was preparing to
enter one of the Twin Cities
today sent Federal men and
sheriff's deputies to the cities
outskirts to barricade all roads.
Nelson was reported seen in
Duluth, Mimi, late yesterday
afternoon and was said to have
been heading westward in a
stolen coupe following a brief
gun battle with q special deputy
sheriff.
Highways Guarded
Any attempt Nelson might
make to enter either of the
Twin Cities, Federal operatives
said, would meet with certain
Illustration. The highways sur
rounding were heavily manned
with officers supplied with ma
chine guns and sufficient ammu-
milton to assure a leaden welcome
for the desperate.
From the wooded section in
northern Wisconsin came word
that deputies believed they had
Tommy Carroll, another Of the
Dillnger henchmen, cornered in
a swamp near the Lac du Flam-
beau Indian reservation.
Indictments were expected to be
returned against several persons
alleged to have aided or harbored
the notorious fugitive, while it ap-
peared certain that secret charges
would be made by the grand jury
against some of the Dillinger gang,
and possibly against persons not
now under arrest who are reported
to have aided him.
The Grand Jury listened to wit
neSSeS who are reported to have
described how the gang leader OBJ
tanned an apartment and how he
procured medical treatment while
the forces of the United States
and the police of the nation were
looking for him.
Evelyn Frechette, alleged gun
moll" Of Dillinger; Beth Green,
widow Of Eugene Green. the slain
gangster; DR.. Clayton j. May, al
legged to have treated the gang
Ster: and Mrs. Augustus Salt,
charged with having helped DIR.
May, remained in the Ramsey
county jail awaiting the grand
jury'S findings to learn if they will
be placed on trial for having aided
the fugitive mob leader.
Secret Indictment
1t was possible that a secret
Indictment would be returned
against Homer Van Meter, one
Of the desperate gang, charging
him with aiding Dillinger when
he escaped from Federal agents
on March 81, when a Lexington
Avenue apartment was raided.
1t was believed that conSidera-
ton was given to the initiation
Of charges against Pat Reilly,
an underworld character, re-
ported to have taken Dillinger
and John Hamilton, his first
lieutenant, to the home of DR..
N. G. Mortensen, suspended city
health officer, for treatment of
bullet wounds on March 13.
Information was received here
today indicating that two Of the
three women arrested Sunday
night by Federal agents at Little
Bohemia Lodge, Wisconsin, have
been identified.
One is said to be Mrs. George
Nelson, wife of Baby Face" Mel
son, who is alleged to have muir
dered Federal Agent Baum.
Another is said to be Miss
Jane Delaney, girl friend Of
Tommy Carroll, one Of Dill
fingers, men.
