DILLINGER TRIP FROM CHICAGO IS DULL AFFAIR Unescorted, Funeral Cortege Winds Way Along Indiana Roads. 'Continued From Page One) lingrr pa.'sed practically unnoticed by thousands of Hoosiers who a few days before had tremblpd at the very mention of his name. Even Police Sit Idly By Even the police in small Indiana towns were ignorant in many instances that the dilapidated grav hearse bore the body of the ‘ big shot" gangster. A pauper on his way to some potters field for burial would have attracted as much attention as the funeral procession made up of the hearse and several cars bearing newspaper men created in many Indiana towns. In the hearse 70-year-old John Dillinger Sr., the outlaws father, sat hunched over the corpse. Like a hunted animal, he had shrunk back from the crowd of morbidly curious assembled around the funeral home in Chicago. Through the Loop and the downtown streets of the Windy City, the aged farmer had regarded the pursuing newspaper men distrustfully. He was thinking about the hundreds of dollars which he would have to pay out for his errant son's funeral from the hard-won gains ol a life-time of farming. To him in this crisis, the foray on banks which had netted the outlaw hundreds of thousands of dollars meant nothing. Begins to Relax All the aged farmer knew was tht John only had $7.90 in his pockets. What had happened to tV loot the old man didn't care. It was up to him now to pay for the last rites. As the cortege neared Marion county old John began to relax. He conversed hurriedly with Hubert Diilinger, the bandit's half brother.! Briefly, the procession halted at a traffic light before entering Indianapolis. A curious policeman learned from newspapermen that the hearse bore the 'big-shot.' "Tell ’em to get that baby killer out of my way quick,” he grow led. i *Tm thinking of the cops with families he killed.” And as the cortege took the winding road into Mooresville the skies grew dark and an ominous wind roared along a ram-drenched road. | RECALLS BLERIOT FEAT " British Officer Flies Channel on Anniversary Upside Down.

CAPTAIN MATT LEACH, of the state police, is just a "sure thing guy.” About six weeks ago. the captain made a bet with four statehouse newspapermen. The wagers were very modest, since the captain is not a gambling man.

The captain ventured the assertion that John Diilinger would be killed or captured by July 1. The bets were laid. Came July 1 and Diilinger still was at large. The captain got a fifteen-day extension of time by raising the odds. He missed his forecast only one week.
