THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
DILLINGER CASE BARES GLARING POLICEJRRORS U. S. Agents. Other Officers at Fault Many Times in Hunt. (Continued From Page One) bility is not entirely beyond the realm of conjecture. Before taking up the final chapter in the career of Dillinger, a glance at the poilce work exhibited in the case will serve to illustrate the desperate need for a drastic reform in methods of criminal apprehension. Charges that the fiasco of the Drilinger hunt was caused by refusals of federal agents to co-oper-ate with local law enforcement officers; of nonco-operation between state and city police, and other glaring faults in police work greeted the writer at every turn in the investigation of the Dillinger case. An example of this lack of cooperation is contained in a complaint made by the Indiana state police to the department of justice on April 29. The details are revealed in this article for the first time. Just Federal Agents A band of six carloads of armed men was seen by a private citizen in the northern Indiana section on April 29. The six cars bore Illinois license plates. Excitedly, the citizen telephoned state police barracks and said he thought the men were "Dillinger gangsters.” State policemen, armed with submachine guns, were dispatched along highways. In the nick of time, state police headquarters in Indianapolis learned that the "suspicious persons” were federal agents looking for Dillinger. On the very next day, April 30, armed men suddenly appeared at Mooresville, Ind„ near the Dillinger homestead. Again state police responded to the call of excited persons shrilly telephoning that "Dillinger was in town.” Again the armed men proved to be unannounced federal agents. “A telephone call might have obviated all that,” said a state official today. “Innocent persons might have been killed by the federal agents or by our men.” Exhibit Poor Police Work Poor police work was exhibited by federal agents on at least four different occasions in the hunt for Dillinger, The Times investigation disclosed. A correspondent for The Times who visited the scene of the sensational escape of Dillinger and his gangsters from the Little Bohemia lodge asserts that there was little excuse for the failure to effect a capture. Only one road led from the lodge to the main highway, Tire Times correspondent asserted, and Dillinger could have been trapped had the federal agents fired from closer range. Earlier in April federal agents had missed Dillinger by inches when the bandit evaded them in a Chicago tavern. Evelyn Frechette was captured at this time. At St. Paul. Minn., and Saut Ste. Marie, the home of John Hamilton’s sister, Dillinger again beat the federal agents to the jump. City Officers at Fault Indianapolis police likewise were at fault many times in the search for Dillinger. A particularly glaring error was registered against the local police when they failed to check automobile agencies when Dillinger wrecked his car near Noblesville, April 7. State and county officials notified the city police that Dillinger’s car had been wrecked. An order—or rather a suggestion—was given that all automobile agencies in the city be checked for any cash sales of cars. It was known that Dillinger’s habit was to pay cash for his cars. Yet half an hour after this suggestion had been made to city police, Evelyn Fretchette bought, a car from a local dealer, paid cash for it, waited three hours for delivery of the car, and delivered it
20 YEARS MISERY LEAVES HIS BODY
“Indo-Vin Is Wonderful,” Says Well-Known Indianapolis Man. Mr. Charles Ware, of 350’i Washington St., Indianapolis, is still another former victim of stomach and bowel trouble who is publicly praising the new medicine made from Nature's Plants, known as Indo-Vin, which is now being introduced to large crowds daily here in this city by The Indo-Vin Man in person at Hook’s Drug Store. Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis. Mr. Ware is manager of concessions at the Indiana State and County Fairs, and is widely known throughout Indianapolis and vicinity. He states that he is PROUD to indorse such a medicine as IndoVin and we are just as proud to publish his name and testimonial as he is a highly respected resident of this city. Following is his complete statement: "For 20 years I had been a great victim of stomach trouble,” said Mr. Ware. “My meals simply would not digest at all but would lay there in my stomach organs and would sour aiid turn to gas and I'd keep belching up a sour, bitter substance. Everything I ate would disagree with me and my meals didn't seem to do me any good at all. Asa result I kept losing my energy and finally got to where I was weak and worn out ALL THE TIME. I had also gotten to be a chronic victim of constipation and was a CONSTANT USER of laxatives, as I~ had to take something for my bowels every night at bedtime. My liver was in an awful condition. I was having terrible headaches and my skin had turned almost yellow looking and I know that people could tell at one glance that I was in a poor, rundown state of health. “I tried a lot of medicines and some expensive- treatments,, but- got

Melvin H. Purvis
Promotion and general public acclaim greeted Melvin H. Purvis, Chicago, chief of the United States department of justice, generally credited with the killing of John Dillinger. The Times investigation, however, shows that the real credit belongs to Hoosier policemen. to the outlaw who used it next day to attend the famous family reunion at the Dillinger homestead. State Police Make Mistakes State police also made mistakes on the Dillinger hunt. Their most glaring error was at the Chicago doctor's office where Dillinger whirled his car to take advantage of an unguarded part of the street and escaped in a hail of bullets. Captain Matt Leach of the state police charged today that although he had given federal authorities all the information he had obtained to aid them in their hunt for Dillinger and his pals he received little or no co-operation in return. An example of this occurred early in April when federal agents took a score of Indianapolis police to Greensburg, Ind„ on a tip that Dillinger was in hiding, instead of notifying state police in whose jurisdiction the town lies. Non co-operation of federal agents and Chicago police is revealed in the information that a tip that Dillinger was in Wisconsin cruising around in a Hudson sedan shortly before his death was ‘messed up’ by federal agents. Stege Got Original Tip Captain John Stege of the Chicago detective bureau who had worked tirelessly on the Dillinger case got the original tip. He waited, hoping that Dillinger would come down near the Illinois border. Meanwhile, Melvin H. Purvis, United States federal agent generally accredited with the killing of Dillinger, got the same information. He asked the Chicago detective bureau to broadcast an alarm. And Dillinger—who always has been known to carry a short-wave radio set picked up the alarm. He got away from that place. Demotion of Captain William H. Shoemaker, head of the Chicago detective bureau followed the leaking out of a story that Dillinger accompanied his last “light of love,” Polly Hamilton, to Chicago police headquarters where the girl was to take a physical examination for a job as a waitress. Sleuths were chagrined to learn later —oh, much later—that Dillinger, his face lifted to be sure, but still recognizable was the short fellow who had stumbled apologetically into the detective bureau. Tomorrow—Dillinger’s death.
COUNCIL DENIES CUT IN FUMIGATION BOND Move to Reduce Fee From $5,000 to SI,OOO Voted Down. Attempts to reduce from $5,000 to SI,OOO the bond required of persons and firms engaged in the fumigating business failed last night when the city council struck an ordinance from the files that would have amended the present ordinance. A $5,000 bond is the least that will assure persons receiving injurious effects from fumigating gases to obtain legal recourse, councilmen held. Two Gangsters Are Assassinated Hi/ United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Two men suspected of being members of a gang known as the “House of Forty Thieves” were assassinated in their rooms in Brooklyn today by two gunmen in brown suits. The victims were identified as Vincent Pisano and Oresto De Roberts.

MR. CHARLES WARE
NO RELIEF. Then I found IndoVin and have taken three bottles and today nobody would ever think I had a sick day in my life. It had a wonderful action on my stomach organs and cleared out the gas and bloating. It also gave me a great appetite. I eat my meals with a relish now and I don't know when I have ever eaten so heartily. My food agrees with me and is nourishing my system so that I have gained ; back all the energy I lost. It gave 1 my bowels a great cleansing and they have gotten so they are regular each day. I never need a laxative ■or physic now. My liver is in a fine condition now, and the headaches !do not come, my complexion is | brighter and that former yellowish look in my face is gone. It simply ! renovated and improved my WHOLE SYSTEM and I want to publicly indorse it to all poor, suffering people.” The Indo-Vin Man is now at Hook's Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., here in Indianapolis, daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining this new mixture of Nature’s Medicines.
