‘BABY FACE’ DEAD, U. S. AGENTS HUNT FLEEING WIFE, PAL Nelson’s Body, Riddled With Bullets From Guns of Slain Federal Men, Found in Ditch Near Chicago. COMPANION BELIEVED TO BE KARPIS Department of Justice Masses Force in Man Hunt; All Illinois Roads Are Heavily Patrolled. Ay I w,',-* Tr. •• CHICAGO. Nov. 2D.—Grieving over deaths of two more federal aarnt* in their long war with the John P'.liinger gang hut elated at slaying "f George (Baby Fare) Nelson, believed the la.-1 of the terror mob’s chief members, government force*, organized today to mop up the gang s dregs. Chiefly, the federal officers wanted the man and woman with Nelson when Inspector Samuel P. Cowley of the justice department's division of investigation and Agent Herman j Hollis ran them down near Barrington, 111., Tuesday and fought a terrific roadside battle.

Mr. Hollis was killed out- 1 rijrht in the fisrht, Mr. Cowley died nine hours later and Nelson’s naked l>ody, wrapped in a dirty blanket, was found yesterday on a weed-grown prairie in Niles Center, Chicago suburb. Companion' of the slain officers, seeking even further vengeance in the war which has killed nine officers. ten gangsters and one innocent civilian, spread a network of investigators over northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and even as far north as the Minnesota Twin Cities. They believed the man who foutrht with Nelson Tuesday, loading a machine cun for the 24-vear-old gunman and firing a shotgun himself. was Alvin Karpis. St. Paul gangster, accused of the kidnap.ng of Edward G. Bremer. Woman Nelson's Wife The woman, they were eonvmred. was Nelson s 21-year-old wife, who violated probation and left two rhilriren in care of relatives to share her husband's bloody trail. Because the gangsters were fleeing toward Chicago when Nelson died. Ihe search concentrated here. Physicians said Nelson's death probably occurred about 6 a. m. yesterday. His body was not abandoned until at least a half hour later, because it was not wet by a rain which fell until fi 30 An autopsy showed he died of internal hemorrhage in a bullet wound which coursed from front to rear of his stomach. Eight other wounds in his legs showed that both Mr. Hollis and Inspector Cowley fired with cool accuracy. Mr Hollis was armed with a submachine gun and Inspector Cow lev with a shotgun firing special ' miniature Shrapnel" shells. All Highways Palroled Sheriffs In five Illinois counties mustered hundreds of possemen in a patrol of highways today, although federal agents indicated they believed the hunted man and woman had escaped into Chicago's mare. Inspector H. H. Clegg, who flew from Washington to direct the search for Nelson before he lea'ned of bus death, remained to hunt for Karpis and his woman companion. Federal men believe that John Hamilton, only major member of Dilinger's once powerful pane not accounted for. is dead. Dillinger himself said so before he escaped from the Crown Point. Ind.. jail last spring with a ’ooden pistol. The idea was scouted then, but has gained credence as months passed without word of him.
