Dillinger’s I Surgery Aid Kills^Self Suspect Hurls Self Nineteen Stories to Death at Federal Quiz. fin I nilfil Pres* CHICAGO, July 26.- A 67-year-old widower, in whose home federal agents claimed the features of John Dillinger were altered by means of plastic surgery, leaped nineteen , flora to his death from the department of justice offices today. The suspect. James Johnstone Probasco, leaped from a window of an ante rom in the offices while waiting to be questioned in connection with the disguising of Dillinger's features. Samuel P. Cowley, assistant to Melvin H. Purvis, chief of the government's manhunters in the Chicago area, said that his agents had obtained information that Probasco arranged for the surgical w’ork not only on Dillinger. but on Homer Van Meter as well. Probasco was seated in a chair near a window while Cowley and several other agents went into another room to discuss the evidence against him Probascos body landed in Rookery court, separating the Bankers’ building, in which the government offices are located, from the Rookery building Cowley said he "actually knew” the identity of the doctor who performed the face lifting operations and that he had planned to question Probasco about the man. The doctor, whose arrest is expected. seared the finger tips of Dillinger and Van Meter two months ago at Prozascos home on North Crawford street. Cowley said. COHN CASE TO GO TO JURORS Court Takes Adjournment After Defense Closes Testimony. The case of Melville S. Cohn, vice-president and director of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank, charged with embezzlement, will be given to a criminal court jury tomorrow. The defense completed its evidence yesterday and court was adjourned until tomorrow by Special Judge Alex G. Cavins. Both state and defense will be allowed three hours in which to present their final arguments before Judge Cavins reads his instructions to the jury. Final argument for the defense will be presented by Frank A. Dailey and James W. Noel, while Floyd J. Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, will speak for the state. On the witness stand in his own behalf yesterday, Mr. Cohn endeavored to show that his connection with the bank's transactions with the Frailich Realty Company, Indiana Harbor, could not constitute a criminal offense. Cohn was charged with embezzling $37.50. a quarterly dividend of the realty firm, through using bank funds to pay the dividend. He said that the bank loaned money to the Frailich concern to pay dividends in the ordinary course of business. The state presented evidence to show that the bank paid a total of approximately $23,000 in obligations of the realty company which never were repaid. Most of the money was paid while the company was in receivership and without funds with which to pay dividends or retire stock, according to state evidence. Cross-examined by Mr. Mattice. Cohn said that he considered the bank's purchase of the preferred stock issue of the Frailich firm for $83,250 a good investment for both the bank and the customers of its bond department, to whom the stock was sold.

CURIO HUNTERS DISTURB FINAL DILLINGER REST Crowd, Seeking Souvenirs From Grave, Chased by Police. STORM DELAYS BURIAL Mooresville Citizens Give $25 to Father for Expense of Funeral. BY BASIL GALLAGHER Time* Staff Writer. Even death failed to bring peace to John Dillinger today. Sw’arming over the greensward of the Crown Hill cemetery, a crowd of avidly curious men and women—reminiscent of a crowd at a sideshow or circus —had to be driven from the vicinity of the outlaw’s grave by police riot squads. There were no tears of grief in the eyes of the .souvenir hunters, who stripped Dillinger's grave of withered bits of flowers and grass. In little groups, about the grave, women gossiped about the career of the farm bov who had become a veritable plague to law-abiding citizens. But one sincere mourner sat on the weather-beaten porch of the gangster's former home in Mooresville. John Dillinger Sr., 70-year-old father of the slain bandit, shed a few tears of genuine grief. Storm Delays Burial Denying that any money had been received from his dead son's tinderworld associates. Mr. Dillinger revealed that Mooresville sympathizers had sent him $25 in small sums to help defray the funeral expenses. ‘l'll have to shoulder the rest of the expense myself.” said the aged dirt farmer still visibly shaken by the ordeal of his son's funeral. The burial itself took place in a theatrical setting which made a fitting climax to Dillinger’s life of outlawry. Nature, seemingly resentful of the presence of even the corpse of the anti-social thug who h£d ridden to notoriety in the wake of blazing submachine guns, unleashed an electric storm which crackled and roared around the open grave. And hundreds in the crowd around the cemetery, caught in the driving rain, realized for the first time that Dillinger—the “big shot” gangster, the death-dealing bank robber, the notorious Public Enemy No. I—was really no more important than the most obscure ditch-digger toiling honestly for his daily bread. The crowd waiting around the cemetery gate had seen the cortege winding slowly along Northwestern avenue on its way to the grave. Bandit's Father Pitied Almost at the gate, the hearse suddenly increased its speed as the sky darkened ominously and great forks of lightning flashed over the last resting place of James Whitcomb Riley, of President Benjamin Harrison, of Senator Albert Beveridge and a host of other great ani near-great. In the car behind the hearse, the crowd saw a sad-faced little man sitting bolt upright, oblivious to the elements. And the hearts of the raindrenched spectators went out to John Wilson Dillinger, 70-year-old dirt farmer and father of the dead bandit, in his sorrow. Tears of mortification had trickled down the old man’s face at intervals during the day as he watched the crowd milling about the modest gray home of Mrs. Aubrey Hancock, the outlaw’s sister, in Mayw’ood. ‘I Loved Him,’ He Says "Most of ’em are just curiosity seekers,” Mr. Dillinger said. "What do they care about Johnny? But, it's different with me. I'm his father and I loved him and nothing he ever did can change my feelings.” Os the many bloody dollars, for which Dillinger and his terror mob had murdered and maimed innocent men with dependents, only $7.90 was in the gangster's pockets w’hen he was killed in Chicago. The rest of the blood money—variously estimated at from $300,000 to $500.000 —had vanished as utterly as though the malicious genii which had urged Dillinger on to a career of murder and theft had gobbled up its ill-gotten gains. "There must be money somewhere," Old John said again and again. "I hate to touch it but I haven’t any money of my 'own. The crops have been bad. But the Lord will show us a way out. Even today some kind folks offered to help me.” Hundreds View Corpse The cause of all th? parental worry and mortification, of all the morbid curiosity, lay in a gray casket in the front room of the Hancock home. The "trigger hand.” which had sped terror-stricken victims to th? death, looked weak and ineffectual. Ironically enough, th? embalmer found it necessary to put some extra fluid into the "trigger hand” to prevent it from looking too withered. Hundreds of the curious filed into the humble gray cottage to gaze on the wax-lik? features of the terror mob leader. They saw the incisions of the plastic surgeon who had "lifted” the bandit's face to help him evade the law. Futility was spelled out in the altered features. The cleft in Dillinger's chin which had been filled with wax the telltale mole between his eyes which had been removed: the extra tilt to his nose and all (Turn to Pare Four)

ITALY MASSES TROOPS AT BORDER AS NAZIS FIGHT AUSTRIAN FORCES

Germany Is Frankly Fearful of ‘Kickback’ in Nazi Crisis in Austria. HITLER RECALLS ENVOY Berlin Worried Over World Reaction to Slaying of Dollfuss. BY FREDERICK C. OESCHNER United Press Stiff Correspondent BERLIN, July 26. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, gravely concerned, took personal charge of the Austrian situation today to watch the spot on which Europe’s peace may depend the Austrian frontier. He first made arrangements to proceed direct to Munich from Bayreuth, w’here he was atttending the musical festivals. Later he cancelled this plan and decided to establish headquarters at Bayreuth, but to devote all of his time to the Austrian situation. 165 Miles From Frontier Bayreuth is only 165 miles from the Austrian frontier, and is 120 miles from Munich. Hitler ordered roads to the frontier closed, and he ordered that every care be taken that Austrian Nazi legionnaires, massed around Munich, be given no opportunity to try to make a break to join their comrades in Austria. At Berlin, as soon as Dollfuss’ death was known, Baron Konstantin Von Neurath, foreign minister, ordered the immediate return in disgrace of Kurt Reith, German minister at Vienna, w’ho promised the Nazi revolutionists haven in Germany. Then Neurath w’ent to the Austrian legation to offer the condolences of the government. He issued orders that no promise Reith made should be binding on Germany. Situation Is Grave For Germany the situation was grave. The attitude of Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy was well known—that he would go to w’ar if necessary to preserve Austrian independence. It w’a.s known also that only a few’ days ago he said that Italy’s friendship for Germany hinged on the cessation at once of Nazi terrorism—a terrorism now climaxed by the assassination of his friend Dollfuss. It w’as recognized that Reith’s open communication whth the Nazi assassins could not but have serious results for Germany in the reaction of the world at large. There was some expectation that the government would make a considered statement of its position—a disclaimer of any knowledge of the plot and a profession of disapproval of it. It was agreed that the plot must weaken Naziism in Austria, and it w'as feared that it might have serious consequences in Germany itself.

POWERS READY TO TAKE ACTION 40,000 Italian Troops on Frontier, Ready to Aid Austria. By United Press Mussolini sent 40,0<hi troops to Ihe Austrian frontier today as all Europe, remembering Sarajevo and 1914, watched the Nazi unrest in Austria with dismay and apprehension. Mussolini telegraphed to Vienna his pledge that Austra's independence would be preserved, Czechoslovakian forces w ? ere reported being strengthened on that country’s Austrian frontier. The German frontier was blocked by the Berlin government to prevent an influx of German Nazis into Austria, which might prove the spark that would set off the powder keg. As Chancellor Dollfuss lay dead in Vienna. Nazis started an uprising in the important province of Styria, with heavy fighting in progress. Anton Rintelen. Austrian minister to Rome, w ho was accused of inspiring the Nazi uprising, committed suicide. France offered to join Italy and England in concerted action if necessary. Britain left the initiative to Italy for the present, but could be courted on for support. Diplomats of the three powers began consu Nations in their respective capitals to decide on a course of ition. HH*ei , southern Germany not far f- the Austrian frontier, kept cioSe watch on events.

That the Grant Trust and Savings bank, of which he was vice-president, has paid off 100 cents on the dollar to all depositors. but that, near the time of a merger, it found itself loaded with cash of veterans and that this cash was transferred into bad securities and these securities placed in the trust estates without civil court procedure and with an almost entire loss to the estates. 2.

40.000 Soldiers Are Sent on March; Destination Kept Secret. EDICT FIRED BY DUCE Two Full Battalions in War Equipment Near Austria Frontier. BY THOMAS MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent ROME, July 26. Two army corps were sent toward the Austrian frontier today from Bolzano and Udine. As they marched Premier Benito Mussolini telegraphed Vice-Chan-cellor Ernst von Starhemberg of Austria: "The independence of Austria has been and will be defended by Italy.” It was a promise that if necessary the two army corps would continue across the frontier and save Austria from a Nazi government, Bolzano and Udine are within forty miles of the frontier. The army corps were estimated at 20,000 each. There was great secrecy as to their ultimate destination. All the troops w’ere in full w*ar equipment. They included not only ordinary arms of the service but mountain troops ■ready to move through Alpine passes with great dispatch. The troops were two of three corps that Premier Benito Mussolini placed there last February, during the Socialist revolution, w’hen he announced that he would preserve Austrian independence by force of arms. The newspaper Popolo D ltaly at Milan, which Mussolini owns, published today an inspired article indicating the premier was awaiting events. “Ideas can not be killed,” said the newspaper. "The putsch attempted at Vienna was by a small group of terrorists. We are not confronted by a revolution. This was but a grave act of criminal terrorism, climaxing a long series of crimes. "The political situation remains unchanged. Dollfuss died for the independence of his country. He is a martyr to a cause which he defended with the courage of a soldier and the intelligence of a statesman.” Dollfuss had won the friendship and sympathy of Italians. His personality, and his ideas, ended a traditional enmity between Austria and Italy. * Italy's central European policy now seems to depend on the attitude to be taken by the new chancellor. But the policy will be based still on Mussolini's determination That Austrian independence shall be preserved, by force of arms if necessary. Parleys Are Begun Bn United Press LONDON. July 26.—Consultations by the British. French and Italian governments were begun here, at Paris and at Rome today as to the advisability of warning Germany to respect Austrian independence. Authorities here were inclined to place grave responsibility on Germany for the Nazi uprising, but Britain was in favor of leaving the initiative to Italy unless pressed to join in concerted action. The convergence of Italian troops on the Austrian border was regarded as a warning to Germany, but it was doubtful that Italy would intervene militarily unless the Nazis seize power in Austria. France Ready to Act PARIS. July 26.—France has offered to take joint action with Italy to preserve Austrian independence. it was learned today. The offer was made last night by Louis Bagthou. foreign minister, to the Italian ambasador, Count Pignatti. Barthou, it was learned, offered to act with Great Britain and Italy combined, or with Italy alone—as Italy desired. Le Journal's comment was typical of newspaper reaction: "The independence of Austria will be maintained, Italy must first take measures. Troops stationed in northern Italy have not far to march to reach the frontier. Germany now has nothing worse it can do.” 2 Drowned in Battleship Crash By United Press PORT ANGELES. Wash..

Starhemberg Emerging as New Leader of Austria in , Revolt Crisis. DEATH IS FACING 144 Outbreaks Reported From Various Parts of Seething Nation. BY STEWART BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent (CopvrlKht. 1934. bv United Press) VIENNA, July 26. Austrian troops battled Nazis in the province of upper Styria and other parts of the country today as the government made a smashing drive against terrorists. Police officially announced between fifteen and twenty soldiers were killed in action in upper Styria. where the main fighting was in progress. No figures were given for Nazi casualties, but it was believed they would be as great or greater. At Deutschlandburg, police announced six dead and twelve seriously wounded when troops recaptured the town from Nazis who seized it last night after announcement. of the assassination of Chancelloi Engelbert Dollfuss in Vienna. Three deaths were reported at Steinz, which the military captured after severe fighting. Fourteen Wounded at Graz The villages of Broesing and Eybiswald still were in the hands of the Nazis, police said. The insurgents in the two villages numbered between 400 and 500 and were wellarmed with rifles, pistols and machine guns. The Nazis at Lansberg seized the postoffice but evacuated it after a brief fight. The city of Graz reported fourteen wounded, many of them seriously. brought to hospitals from surrounding districts, where Nazis were fighting the troops. The cabinet, under Vice-Chan-cellor Prince Ernst Rudiger Von Starhemberg, established a military court to try those involved in the assassination of Chancellor Dollfuss. Hangings were almost certain to result, and just as inevitably will provide fuel for further Nazi reprisals. Mrs. Dollfuss at Bier While Mrs. Dollfuss, arriving by plane from Italy, knelt in tears at the bier of her husband in the chancellory, the cabinet met and voted the military court and other measures. Heimwehr circles said Starhemberg had been designated chancellor, but the foreign office and others said he was merely acting chancellor, and had not been designated to form a cabinet. "The government,” Starhemberg told the cabinet, "will continue as before in a common front to realize the task the Dollfuss regime set itself and carry on the heritage of our chancellor, murdered in such horrible fashion.” Starhemberg was dressed in the uniform of the Heimwehr, which he heads. The cabinet unanimously adopted his proposals. The government ordered the suspension of all street car service between 10 o'clock tonight and early tomorrow morning. Restaurants, cases and all other public buildings must close at 8 p. m. No theaters, movies, concerts or dances will tv permitted in what used to be "gay Vienna.” It was believed that Starhemberg, of one of the proudest lineages in Europe, owner of thirty-six castles, and called "the happy prince,” might emerge as the country’s dictator in succession to Dollfuss, who bled to death in.the hands of his N* zi captors in the chancellory building last night. Dollfuss w f as fifth to die in the revolt. The sixth death came today when Anton Rintelen, Austrian minister to Rome, committed suicide. Shoots Self in Lung When Nazis announced over the radio yesterday that Dollfuss had resigned they named Rintelen as his successor. Believing him the spiritual father of the revolt, the government arrested him last night. At 6 a. m. today he shot himself in the lung near the heart. He was taken to a clinic where he died. He left a note: "I am innocent.” Dollfuss lay today, a white sheet covering his diminutive body, on a conference table in the chancellory. Black flags flew throughout the city and church bells tolled in requiem. His widow and her little children came from Italy from the summer home of Premier Benito Mussoliniof Italy, where Dollfuss was to hav been a guest this week-end. Starhemberg Is Leader President Wilhelm Miklas arrived from a vacation. Starhemberg and Major Emil Fey, national security commissar, went into conference with him. Starhemberg was emerging as the leader. Kurt Schuschnigg was acting chancellor, but Starhemberg as vice-chancellor autematically became acting chancellor on his return. Kurt Reith. German minister, left for Berlin by airplane-recalled by his government for offering the Nazi revolters safe refuge in Germany. As devout Roman Catholics emerged from Angelus services this morning, church bells all over the country began tolling, by order of Cardinal Innitzer, archbishop of Austria, in mourning for the little chancellor.
