FEDERAL MEN AID DILLINGER BREAKJQUIRY U. S. Grand Jury May Act in Investigation, Lutz Declares. Entrance of federal authorities into the Dillinger jail break case in Lake county was reported today by Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., upon reception of a letter from Edward Barce. deputy attorney-gen-eral, who is conducting the investigation for Governor Paul V. McNutt. "Mr. Barce reported that he now is working with federal men in the case, but gave no details in the letter,” Mr. Lutz said. He suggested that there might be federal grand jury action. Meanwhile, "politics” was being offered as the keynote'to the mystery surrounding the so-called "kidnaping” of Ernest Blunk, Dillinger jail guard, by state police on orders of the attorney-general’s office. This idea advanced from the first was given increased support today when two stenographers from the office of Attorney-General Lutz w’ent to Lake county to appear before the grand jury investigating the escape of John Dillinger from the Crown Point jail. They are Mrs. Virginia Thornbohn and Miss Lorraine Uphouse, who are said to have typed some testimony wrung from Blunk when Jie was in city prison here with officials denying knowledge of his whereabouts. Leach Defends Move * Back of all this mystery is the long standing battle between Captain Matt Leach of the state police force and Prosecutor Robert G. Estill of Lake county. Captain Leach, whose home is in Gary, today staunchly defended the right of his men to bring Blunk here for questioning and of the attorneygeneral’s office to refuse to explain why. "This is state police headquarters' and we can bring any one here that we arrest in any section of the state,” Captain Leach said. Estill Criticised McNutt After the capture of Dillinger by Tucson police, Mr. Estill criticised both Captain Leach and Governor Paul V. McNutt as “publicity seekers.” He ’ then announced that he was a candidate for re-election. The Governor’s forces were not popular in Lake county. Then Dillinger got away and Mr. Estill’s photograph with his arm around him put him in the hole. Today he is quoted as saying that he still is a candidate. State Senator Fred Egan has the backing of McNutt against him. Factions in Party Then there is Judge William J. Murray of the Lake criminal court, who took the blame for not putting Dillinger in the Michigan City prison, representing another Democratic faction. So the three factions within the party in the normally Republican county have caused a political brew which was being blamed today as the reason for wanting to bring Blunk here. Any forthright answers in the matter can not be obtained from either the Governor’s office or Mr. Lutz, who during the Blunk business has developed the perfect poker face.

MATHERS ASKS VENUE CHANGE IN DEATH TRIAL Alleged Slayer of Pastor Seeks Delay, Claims Judge Prejudiced. Change of venue from Marion county was sought yesterday by Judson L. Stark, attorney for Theodore Mathers, alleged trigger man in the SlO murder of the Rev. Gaylord V. Saunders, former Wabash Methodist minister. Mathers signed a change of venue petition alleging that Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, befoie whom the case was to be tried March 27, was prejudiced against him. A change of venue is mandatory in a murder case, if charges of prejudice by the judge or by residents of the county are made. Mr. Stark, however, stated publicly that he was demanding the venue change because Judge Baker would not grant him sufficient time in which to prepare for trial. Judge Baker, in granting the petition on the prejudice charge, pointed out that Mr. Stark had declared that the "real reason” for the request was his complaint that he had not been afforded sufficient time to prepare his defense. Declaring that Mr. Stark has known the date of the trial since March 2, Judge Baker flayed tactics of defense attorneys in criminal cases in taking changes of venue "at the last minute” and in taking other dilatory measures to delay trials. The judge announced that Mrs. Neoma Saunders, widow of the slain minister, will face trial in criminal court March 27. original date of Mathers’ trail, for her alleged part in the crime.
