INTENSIVE HUNT
FOR BRADY GANG
Hoover Reported In
Personal Charge

CHICAGO, Sept. 8 QN.SO.
Fifty Federal agents, repeatedly
led in person by J. Edgar Hoover,
chief Of the Department Of Justice
sleuths, turned out today for re-
lentless search for AL Brady, Indi-
ana outlaw, and his gang
With rewards of $500 on their
heads, Brady and two Of his
henchmen are wanted for at least
three murders and long list OF
assorted holdups, including a score
Of bank robberies.
Brady's bandits have carried on
with quick-triggered brutality
since John Dillinger fell under a
hail Of police bullets and his gang
scattered.
WINS POLICE ROW
Hoover, it was said, determined
to end their ruthless reign, but
was angered by belief that the
Indiana police were not cooperat-
ing fully with his agents. Putting
on pressure he demanded that
Governor M. Clifford Townsend
GUST Capt. Matt Leach, chief Of
the State police. The State police
board complied Saturday when
they were informed Hoover threat
ened to "Sever relations" with the
States law agencies unless Leach
was removed.
At the same time it was revealed
that the Omen had swung into
the hunt for Brady In earnest and
were concentrating their efforts
in this area. It was reported that
Brady and his NeutenantS, James
Dahlover and Clarence Lee Shat
fer, had "holed up near here to
cure wounds incurred in gun
battles at either Goodland, Ind,
or Baltimore, Md, a month ago.
BIG GEM ROBBERY
Brady and his gang first made
headlines in the spring Of 1895
when they were blamed for the
$4,000 gem robbery Of a Lima
(Ohio) jeweler. Previously Brady
had been identified as the slayer
of a Piqua (Ohio) grocery clerk.
One Of the gang was wounded
at Lima and in taking him to an
Indianapolis physician they walked
into q police trap. But they shot
their way out, killing Sergt. Harry
Rivers.
A few weeks later a Chicago
fence" double crossed them,
Brady, Shaffer and Dahlover be-
ing seized here with two women.
One Of these was Margaret Barker
Larson who had deserted her hus.
band and child for Brady.
ESCAPED JAIL
Returned to stand trial for Ser
geant Rivers murder, the three
broke out of the GreencaStle
(Ind0 Jail.
A series Of bank robberieS and
raids on police arsenalS in small
Indiana towns followed. In each
case witnesses identified either
Brady or members of his gang.
Last May they held up the bank
at Goodland and killed Policeman
Paul Minneman as they fled.
The hunt progressed to Balti-
more, where Dahlover and Shaffer
escaped a police trap in which
their brides of less than a month
we're captured.
