FOG HANDICAPS STATE COPS IN DILLINGER HUNT Weather Balks Police in Search for Mob Chief Near Linton. BY DANIEL M KIDNEY Staff Writer Fog—denw fog- mantled thp hills of southern Indiana like a shroud and seeped down into the hollows until It was as thick as pea soup. Cars rreej>ed along the highways, hugging the black center line on the ; concrete roads, judging distance by the telephone poles on the blacktop. Ten feet away and another machine could not be seen. No need to darken a tail-light to prevent num- , bers from being read. That was the sort of break the I weatherman gave state police Sat- j urdav night when they were closing : in on Green county with a ‘ hot tip” that John Dillingrr would land there. Feeney '2xUrm Charge Linton was the spot where the posse congregated. It took hours for them to assemble. Commissioner A1 Feeney drove down from Indianapolis to take personal charge. It took four hours. Time and again the car slithered off the roadway and landed in snowdrifts, which remained unmelted and gave another clew as to where the road lay. Few cars were abroad. From what could be learned Dillinger “didn’t show.” Yet he might have been on any of the roads traveled by the police posse. The- never could have recognized his car. Reason for believing that the No. 1 bad man might come to the Linton coal field district, was because that was Harry Pierpont’s stamping ground. Light at Pierpont’s Home Throughout, the night a light burned in the window of the home of Pierpont’s mother at Switz City, eight miles from Linton. There was coming and going in j cars in that little village and the I fog failed to hide the bustle of unusual activity. One machine was thought to have been the big Auburn which Pierpont drove in Ohio. Charged with being the trigger man in the Dillinger escape from the Lima *O.) jail, Pierpont is incarcerated there facing murder chargi -with two other members of the gang. Burns Reported Seen One of the machines which were being watched through the fog was driven by a big man. State police j allege, from descriptions they secured, that he looked like John j Burns. Burns is one of a trio of the ten escaped prisoners from Michigan City who has not been killed or captured. Others are John Hamilton and Joseph Fox. All could have prowled about in i that thick fog and short of stumb- j ling into the arms of a policeman j could have remained unapprehended Maybe they did. Two 'Murderer's Electrocuted By 1 mted Brens BELLEFONTE. Pa.. March 5. Wallace Skawinski and James Riggs of Lackawanna county were execut- \ ed at Rockview penitentiary today | for the murder of Detective Lieutenant Lewis Roberts during a holdup; on April 1. 1933.

“As your brothers have gone away one by one, I have written to each of them what I am now going to write to you. You know that you have never been hampered with religious forms of restraint, and that with mere unmeaning forms I have no sympathy. But I most strongly and affectionately impress upon you the priceless values of the New Testament, and the study of that book as the one unfailing guide in life. Deeply respecting it. and bowing down before the character of Our Saviour, as separated from the vain constructions and inventions of men, you cannot go very wrong and will always preserve at heart a fine spirit of veneration and humility. Similarly, I impress upon you the habit of saying a Christian prayer every night and morning. These things have stood by me all through my life, and you remember that I tried to render the New Testament intelligible to you and loveable by you when you were a mere baby. “And so God bless you, “Ever your affectionate Father “Charles Dickens’’

JAIL THAT COULDN’T HOLD KILLER

mjßßk A 4

This “model, escape-proof” Lake county jail in Crown Point could not hold John Dillinger, the nations “No. 1 outlaw,” who made a daring escape freeing a Negro murderer with him. despite the strong guard posted around the prison, three members of which are shown here. In. the background is the bridge over which Dillinger would have been taken to tlie rnminal court building, at right, for his trial, without going into the street.

FULL CALENDAR WILL BE HEARD BY GRAND JURY Prohibition Law Violations Noticeably Absent in Over 100 Cases. The federal grand jury today was sworn in by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell and began investigation of more than 100 alleged law violations involving more than 150 persons. The session will be unique in that whereas in the past prohibition law violations constituted the bulk of the jury's work, there will be no such cases considered this time, as result of repeal. However, twenty-four cases which formerly would have been prosecuted under the prohibition law will be taken up as violations of internal revenue laws. Gold hoarding and NRA code violations will be included in scope of the jury's probe. Among cases scheduled for consideration is that of Mrs. Mae K. Brinton, former Clay City assistant bank cashier, who is reported to have attempted, suicide s when examination was made of the bank's books. She is alleged to have confessed embezzling approximately $22,000, according to federal officials. Val Nolan, district attorney, announced last Week that it is improbable that any indictments will be returned against persons connected with civil works projects. He said only one investigation of misconduct by CWA offiials had been completed and that evidence in this case might not be adequate for grand jury action. ATTORNEY TO RUN FOR STATE LEGISLATURE Frank L. Martins Candidate for Democratic Nomination. Candidacy of Frank L. Martino, attorney with offices at 501 Illinois building, for the Democratic nomination for state representative from Marion county was announced today. Mr. Martino, who lives at 3506 Salem street, taught Romance languages, directed a school of languages and engaged in newspaper fc-ork before practicing law. He is making the race on a program pledging himself to support legislation for tax reduction, improved working conditions for wage earners, and adequate compensation for school teachers. pjjygsag * EM able 'Shoes at lowest prkJl NOW 259 E.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE — WITHOUT CALOMEL And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin’ to Go If you fe®l sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don’t swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. For they can’t do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whol# system is poisoned. It takeß those good, old CARTER'3 LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel “up and up.” They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don’t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter’s Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent a substitute. 25c at drug stores. 01931 C. M.

The Hitherto Unpublished Manuscript of Charles Dickens “The Life of Our Lord ” Written for His Children in 1 849—and Kept Asa Precious Family Secret for 85 Years IV EARLY a century ago Charles Dickens wrote for the teaching of his children a simple and easily intelligible narrative of the New Testament. The story was neither intended for publication nor was it permitted to be published so long as any of the children lived. Only a few weeks ago, with the death of the last child, Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, was “The Story of Our Lord” available for the world at large to read. Disposal of the publication rights to it was made for the record price of sls a word. Through the American holders of these rights, this newspaper—at enormous expense—has obtained the privilege of presenting it to you. Publication of this only unprinted work of the master writer is the FIRST, anywhere in the world. “The Life of Our Lord” will appear in fourteen instalments

''Don’t blame that tie!” ‘\7"OU had planned a nice quiet evening at home with the famJ_ ily... when you found other plans had been made, you asked “why drag me out?” That was not natural. It was your subnormal condition that made your overworked body rebel against social activities. You had started the day off at top speed—keen and alert —but gradually you had slowed down and by nightfall you were exhausted. A most likely cause of this let-down feeling was that your red-blood-cells —the carriers of oxygen to all parts of your body—had been reduced to the point where you were not up to your full strength. You were all worn out. No wonder you did not like that tie. Though you have no organic disease,* you may have a lowered xed-blood-cell count with deficient hemo-glo-bin. When this occurs, and it is very common, you need a tonic. Not just a so-called tonic, but a tonic that has the properties of stimulating gastric secretions, and also having the mineral demon Is so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood to enable you to “carry on” without exhaustion, as you should naturally. If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, we recommend S.S.S. because its value has been proven by generations of use, as well as by modern scientific appraisal. S.S.S, is truly a blood and body tonic. It is sold by all drug stores in two convenient sizes—the larger is more economical. *Consult a physician, of course, if you suspect any oryanic trouble, ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Some interesting facts about the Blood About 8% of the body weight is blood. It circulates over the entire body something like 200 times daily. On each trip it passes thru the lungs,before entering the heart, to throw off “dead air” from the tissues and to take up the vitalizing oxygen to convert food material into tissue repair and energy. The only way food can be utilized in the body to give it heat and energy and replace worn out tissue is to combine it with the oxygen released from the blood in the tissues. Hemo-glo-bin of the red-cells carries the oxygen.' It is just as important that the hemo-glo-bin be kept up to Nature’s standard to insure that the body tissues get their oxygen and can remove the waste matter as it is to eat nourishing food. Constant rebuilding of thp red cells is necessary, as their ordinary life is only about 80 days, and extra helpds needed when they are below normal. © The S.S.S. Cos. fieStK
