Ex- Gangster Claims i Paying For Parole I ~ Ex-Canone Gangster Paid SIO,OOO Fee I Chicago. Feb. 18 — (UP) I Lou;,3 Campagna, a former Capone j gangster paroled after serving three and a half years of a 10-year sent- . ence for extortion, claimed today ' he paid a friend of President Truman a SIO,OOO fee to appear in his i behalf before the U. S. parole board. Campagna and his wife told a congressional committee yesterday that they paid Paul Dillon, Missouri attorney and politician, for "professional services” after receiving a bill from hinj last November. Dillon has been reported missing from hie home at St. Louis for several weeks. A federal grand jury is investigating to determine whether there were irregularities in the paroles of Campagna and three other Capone henchmen. The jury has sought Dillon for questioning in the case. The federal district attorney here said that efforts to serve a subpena on Dillan have been fruitless. It has been reported that he is in Mexico City. Campagna said he first learned that he owed Dillon money for interceding in the case when the attorney testified before the congressional committee last September. At that time Dillon was reported to have told the committee his fee would be $7,000. Dillon said he was a friend of Mr. Truman and that while in Washington he visited the white house and was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Truman. He managed Mr. Truman's campaign for senator in St. Louis. , Campagna said that after Dillon appeared before the congressional committee, he raised hie fee from $7,000 ot SIO,OOO. Campagna said that until Dillon testified before the committee, he thought Dillon’s appearance before '

®*lie parole board was a favor. He said that when he got Dillon’s bill in November, he went with his wife to the bank to get the money. He said he paid with a cashier’s check. Campagna said he was paid $5,000 by Paul Deluccia, one of the other hoodlums who received paroles. as Deluccia’s share of the fee. The other two paroled last AugI ust were Philip D’Andrea and Charlea (Cerry Nose) Gioe. Dillon 5 did not work for their release. e The four were convicted at New York in 1943 on charges of hav- . ing conspired to extort more than $1,500,000 from the motion picture . industry on threats of calling , strikes and creating labor violence. The four-man congressional comL mittee investigating the paroles is , headed by Rep. Clare Hoffman, R„ . Mich. 0 Youth Convicted Os Slaying Sweetheart Defense Expected To Ask New Trial Mason City, la., Feb. 18. —(UP) —Defense attorneys said today that they probably will seek a retrial for Charles Ver Heist, 19, who was convicted of strangling his sweetheart when he learned she was going tojiave a baby. A district court jury returned a verdict of second degree murder against the farm youth after deliberating only two hours and 45 minutes.
