Dillinger Flight Recalls Other Jail Breaks, Again Proving No Prison Is Better Than Its Guards

Indiana Desperado Takes Rank With Chapman, Whittemore and Other Notorious Fugitives. By XEA Berries How do they do it? How can a man make his escape, when captive and seemingly helpless, surrounded by all safeguards human ingenuity can devise? It doesn't seem possible, yet it happens again and again. The audacious "break'’ of John Dillinger. cold-blooded murderer and known enemy of society, from an “escapeproof" jail and determined guards, once more proves what crafty, desperate criminals have proved again and again: No jail can be better than its guards, and guards are only human. Dillinger is heir to a long line of slippery gentry who proved almost impassible to hold despite every precaution. It was Dillinger, it is believed, who smuggled pistols to Hamilton, Pierpont, Clark and Makley, his henchmen, which enabled them to escape from the Michigan City find.; penitentiary. Murdered Sheriff After Break Confronting the superintendent of the shirt factory with the pistols, they forced him and Assistant Warden Evans to walk ahead of them while they carried their pistols concealed in piles of shirts as though engaged in routine work. In this way they passed guards and gates. Suddenly, the four appeared at Lima, 0.. and walked boldly into the office of Sheriff Jess Sarber, who was holding their leader, Dillinger, arrested the day before their break from Michigan City. When Sarber did not fall for their bluff that they had come from Michigan City to transfer Dillinger there, they shot Sarber, overawed deputies with their guns, found the keys to release Dillinger, and were gone. Chapman One of Slipperiest Dillinger’s audacious escape from the Crown Point <lnd.) jail, when he cowed guards with a wooden pistol which he had whittled out, puts him in the front rank of jailbreakers. Gerald Chapman, mail robber, safe blower and murderer, was one of the slipperiest. Like DilHnger, he boasted that no jail hold him. Like Dillinger, he got away with it—for a time. When the law caught up with Chapman for his mail robberies, inspectors were questioning him in the New York postoffice in a room on the third floor. Again Makes Getaway Distracting their attention, Chapman leaped to a window, and apparently stepped out into thin air for a seventy-five-foot drop to death. But in reality he clung perilously to a narrow wet stone coping, wormed his way along it, and into an open window of another office. He was caught there. Convicted, Chapman was sent to Atlanta. Within a few months he faked a sore throat by drinking disinfectant, and was sent to the hospital. Tfyat was his chance. With a confederate, he overpowered a guard, sawed through a barred window,

made a rope of bed sheets, and slid thirty feet to the ground. Crossing the yard, Chapman and his accomplice short-circuited two power wires, plunging the entire penitentiary into darkness. In the confusion they got over the wall and were free. Within forty-eight hours the two were recaptured in a running gun fight in which Chapman was shot three times. Supposedly in critical condition, Chapman was taken to the Athens hospital, and two guards were ordered not to let him out of their sight. Nevertheless, three nights later, one of the guards stepped out of the room, and Chapman not only eluded him, but got away with one

SET DATE FOR POURING HUGE TELESCOPE LENS Distinguished Company to Watch Start of Giant Telescope, March 25. By United Press CORNING, N. Y., March 15. Officials of the Corning Glass Works confirmed today that the 200-inch telescope lens ordered for the California Institute of Technology would be poured March 25. Several hundred scientists, newspaper men and photographers will witness the pouring of the lens, to be the largest in the world. A special platform has been constructed above the seventeen-foot mold. It will be almost three years before the lens will be ready for use in the telescope, which will be almost twice as large as any existing today. It will take ten hours to fill the mold with the liquid glass, then a ten-month careful cooling process and the lens will be ready to be shipped to Pasadena by special train for grinding, which will take approximately two years. Twenty tons of special pyrex borosilicate glass will be used. GIRL, 17, MUST LIVE ON $5,000 MONTHLY Probate Court Reduces Income of Leiter’s Granddaughterfl By United Press CHICAGO. March 15. —Nancy Loiter, 17, granddaughter of the late Levi Z. Leiter, must manage to live for the next eight months on $5,000 a month. Miss Leiter's customary $7,500 a month was decreased by a probate court, order when trustees of Miss Leiter's portion of a $15,000,000 estate reported that only $50,000 was available for her use until Nov. 14. On that date Miss Leiter will become of age and gain control of a portion of her fortune, estimated at $1,300,000. An equal amount will accrue to her later, when liquidation of her grandfather's estate is completed. The daisy originally was called “the day’s eye” because it opened only in the daytime.

Real Bayer Aspirin “Takes Hold” of Pain in Few Minutes

Now comes amazingly quick relief from headaches, rheumatism, neuritis, neuralgia ... the fastest safe relief , it is said, yet discovered. Those results are due to a scientific discovery by which a Bayer Aspirin Tablet begins to dissolve, or disintegrate, in the amazing space of two seconds after touching moisture. And hence to start “taking hold” of pain a few minutes after taking. The illustration of the glass, here, tells the story. A Bayer Tablet starts to disintegrate almost instantly you swallow it. And thus is ready to go to work almost instantly. When you buy, though, see that you get the Genuine BAY ER Aspirin. For Bayer Aspirin’s quick relief always say "BAYER Aspirin.”

of his uniforms when he slid out the window on another rope of bedclothes. For a time he was free—then came inevitable capture, and the gallows. No gang ever was harder to capture or to hold when captured than the Whittemore gang. Richard Reese Whittemore, its leader, ran away from reform school twice when he was only a boy. He became a professional criminal, and first escaped the law's clutches when serving fifteen years for robbery in Baltimore. He leaped savagely on a guard, killed him with a piece of iron pipe concealed in his shirt, stole his keys, and with them gained freedom.

By United Press LONDON, March 15.—Trade assumed its pre-war position in world politics today with the breakdown of British-Japanese negotiations to parcel textile markets. Great Britain faced the possibility that Japan would loom in its vital trade picture as ambitious Germany did in the year’s just preceding the World war. Failure of the textile negotiations seemed, for the moment, to be final, and perhaps the prelude of a trade war that, as in the early years of the century, coincided with an armament race.

; J Leon Kramer, one of Whittemore’s • j accomplices, whom he met in prison, I had an escape to his credit which i had more finesse. Kramer had himself wired to the bottom of an auto driven by a trusty, and which frequently passed the Great Mead- , ows prison gates with only cursory examination. Before this, at Clinton, Leon and his half-brother Jacob were caught in a plot to dynamite a section of the prison wall. They actually had succeeded in getting into the prison a box containing six pistols. 200 cartridges, several bottles of liquor and maps of the surrounding region. Leon Kramer was shot by his own kind. Whittemore was hanged. Escapes From Death Cell Less notorious as a criminal perhaps, but more spectacular as an escape artist, was "Tommy” OCon- j nor, Chicago murderer and robber, who broke from Cook county jail in Chicago when he was less than twenty-four hours away from a •well-earned death by hanging. On the night before his execution, with several other prisoners, the break was made. A guard was enticed close to the bars of the death cell. A sudden clutch through the bars at his throat brought him to his knees. He was knocked out, tied and gagged, and his keys stolen. O'Connor had a gun. Without firing a shot, however, the group of desperadoes met guards, one after another, knocked them senseless, and got out the prison gate. A car was waiting for them, and in this they made their escape. O’Connor Never Caught • O’Connor never has been caught, one of the few of the slippery ones who has not eventually slipped once too often. , Despite a legend of frailty, women criminals are as hard or harder than xnen to keep behind the bars. In fact, their sex sometimes gets them sympathy and help from outside the prison. Clara Phillips, who killeed a girl friend with a hammer, was convicted and was in Los Angeles county jail when, unquestionably with aid from the outside, she escaped. She had secured a saw, cut through the cell bars, climbed to the jail roof, slid down a drain pipe to the roof of an adjoining building and gone through that building to a waiting auto. Her flight (unsuccessful) to Honduras and Mexico City followed her escape. Woman Gets Outside Aid Outside assistance apparently came to the aid also of Mrs. Lydia Southard, Idaho husband-poisoner. A bar of her cell in the Idaho state prison had been pried loose, apparently from the outside. She then scaled the prison wall with a rope made from pieces of hemp and garden hose which pre- j viously had been burjed in the pris-! on yard by an accomplice. She had married again when captured fifteen months later. Twice in as many years, Irene McCann, wife and accomplice of a gunman and murderer, escaped from prison, the first time leaving a sardonic note that she was seeking evidence that would clear her husband of murder charges, and the second time using a smuggled hacksaw to cut through cell bars. She gave herself up to Chicago police, unable to enjoy her stolen freedom. “Cat-Eye Lil” Was Clever These slippery ladies, however, were mere'amateups beside “Cat-Eye Lil” McDowell, the house burglar, who boasted that she could ‘spring herself” from any jail, and came near making good. In Buffalo, she got out of the Erie county jail, despite a huge barred door, on which she either picked the lock or was aided by a confederate. A massive triple lock yielded and let the prisoner through. Descending a staircase, she snaked into the sheriffs office, picked up a paper knife, .with which she slashed a window screeen and dropped two stories to the street. Injured by the fall, she soon was recaptured and sent to Auburn prison. Here she contrived to have herself kept in a solitary cell in a brick wing of the prison, by constant infraction of minor rules. All the while she pateiently was digging at the brick wall with some sharp instrument she had obtained. Freedom Soon Ended Making an opening about two feet square, she crawled through, dragging a blanket. A loose board served to get her to the top of an ungarded wall, end down the blanket she went to freedom. She soon was ; recaptured, however. From the moment a professional ! I criminal lands in jail, accomplices ; outside are working to get word or j | contraband to him, to help him plan j ! escape. The prison is anew problem to him—he often sees possibilities in 1 it which are overlooked by guards to whom it has become a routine. Occasionally a guard is corrupted; ; more often he has a single uni guarded moment, only human. And that is why no prison run by human beings ever is going to be entirely escape-proof. C. P. A.

INDIANS WAIL AT REQUIEM OF ; BELOVED CHIEF i i Tribesmen Chant Mournful Dirges as Two-Guns Is Laid to Rest. By United Press BROWNING, Mont., March 15. Unceasing wails of withered squaws today told of the great sorrow which had come over the land of the Blackfeet. They have buried Chief Two-Guns-White-Calf, son of White Calf, last recognized chieftain of the powerful, warlike tribal federation.! It was a strange ceremonial accorded the man whose stern seaI tures on the familiar "buffalo nickel” symbolize the American Indian to millions throughout the! nation. Two-Guns fought his last battle ! with influenza—and lost. Fervent; prayers to "Natos,” great sun god; all the wiles of wrinkled medicine men; the rarest of Blackfeet herbs; and, finally, the skill of modern physicians failed to save the once- | mighty warrior. Bizarre Gathering Present Tlie great, silent throng which : accompanied Two-Guns on his last j earthly journey before he entered the Red Man’s “happy hunting ground” presented a bizarre blending of barbaric and modern civilizations. They at the Catholic mission of the Church of the Little Flower while the Rev. Father M. J. Haligan intoned the rites of requiem high mass. The central figure of the gathering was the surplice-vested Father Haligan. At arm’s length huddled the selected coterie of blankgt-clad! Blackfeet chieftains, their plumes: of black eagle and hawk feathers rustling in the whining wind. Father Haligan murmured Latin ritual in the tiny cemetery while old squaws and medicine men broke into native death chants such as the weird “wolf song.” Immediate relatives and life-long friends smeared black paint on copper cheek bones; lifted wavering prayers to the “Sun God” to beg that he allow no shadow to fall on Two-Guns’ erect figure in the next world, and began the stubborn fast which will last, perhaps, for months. Posed for Buffalo Nickel Two-Guns was one of three chiefs who posed for J. F. Fraser when he molded his composite head for the "Buffalo nickel” in 1913. He counted dozens of public figures among his personal friends, including “Teddy” Roosevelt, A1 Smith, -Jimmy Walker, Harold Ickes and ! many others. Born in 1872, Two-Guns watched | Montana reach statehood; sat astride a pony beside his father while the latter negotiated the treaty which paved the way for Glacier’s acquisition by the government as a national park, and nodded approval when his father helped J. Hill, “the Empire Builder,” ttfread his railroad through historic Marias pass. Penn Alumni to Meet Rowland C.

ONE of the mysteries of life 5s how much care a man will take of thoroughbred animals noting when they are “off” ... and toning them back to the “pink of condition” to increase their daily usefulness—yet will shamefully neglect his own run-down condition. Certainly, there is a pardonable pride in an animal's healthy appearance ... but human beings are more important than animals. Yet some people just hope when “run-down” that they will “come around.” It is just good “horse-sense” to reflect and reason that your sr-called “tired feeling” may come from a lowered red-blood-cell count and the hemo-glo-bin in these cells. There is a remedy specially designed to bring back strength to weakened bjood ... and no one can be strong, healthy, happy, and full of vitality when in a run-down condition. S.S.S. Blood Tonic is a time-tested remedy for restoring deficient red-blood-oells and a low hemo-glo-bin content. If you suspect an organic disease consult your physician ... if you feel weak ... lack a keen appetite ... if your skin is pale and off-color ... try S.S.S. as a part of your regular daily diet. Take it just before meals. Unless your case is exceptional, you should soon notice a pick-up in your appetite . . , your color and skin
