WHEN John Dillinger
and his gang went
about the country shooting
people in the back a year
ago, the mechanics of find
ing and shooting them fiat
tered them.
1t naturally was a matter
of news interest that a
large number of criminals
were about the country
shooting people when they
got in the way.
But it was chiefly due to
the Chicago police depart
ment that there was any suspicion
of cleverness attached to a group
of armed to-the-teeth men whose
only motivating force was their
utter stupidity. and their sub
bornness in the face of what even
they knew we're unbeatable ODDS.
They had gone to Tucson, Ariz.,
and we're having a good time. One
day the hotel caught fire. Play
ing the cowardly odds they always
played. they hired for $50 a hotel
employe to brave the flames and
rescue their arsenal and their
money. You can't shoot a flame
in the back and expect it not to
trouble you any more. So Dillin-
ger and his associate-cowards,
paid some one else to do it for
them. with money they had taken
from it's owner illegally.
TINE hotel employe. smarter
i than they and realizing that
$50 is lot of money, put two and
two together and set the local po-
lice on their trail They we're
caught. They didn't even shoot.
The Tucson police approached
them face first. and Dillinger tar
gets were backs. So they were
captured.
Dillinger was brought back to
Crown Point, Ind, and Makley
and Pierpont we're returned to
Lima, o.. to pay their penalty for
killing pink faced Sheriff Sarber.
A cold bitter night Dillinger ar
rived in Crown Point, and he
walked, bareheaded, into the
county Jail. He laughed nervous
