OILLINGER GANG SMASHED. BANK HOLDUPS DROP State Record of Ten for Year Compares With Best in U. S. The fall of the Dillinger gang dur- : ing 1934 wps reflected today in a ! survey showing there were only 10! bank robberies in Indiana during the year. There were 38 such robberies ini tne £tf.te during 1933, the year which j saw the rise ol the murderous convict gang. Led by John Dillinger, the Hoo- ; sier farm youth who rose to the po- j sition of Public Enemy No. 1 of the i Nation, the gang was the dominant factor in the Indiana crime scene! during both years. Only one of the 10 robberies of 1934 was attributed directly to the mob. That was the $20,376 holdup ! of the Hirst National Bank of East ! Chicago Jan. 15 in which police- j man William P. O'Malley was killed. But, the publicity and attendant public indignation made bank rob- | bery more hazardous than profit-; able. Peace officers launched an int | sive drive against such crimes. 1 state police force reorganization g under way. Bankers took greate precautions. As result, Indiana's status among midwestem states regarding bank robberies changed from one of the worst to one of the best. First Holdup Jan. 8 First bank robbery of the year occurred Jan. 8 at the Peoples Loan and Trust Cos. at Modoc. A lone bandit obtained SSOO. He was the same robber who stole S4OO from the bank oct. 28. 1933, Boyden Jordan, assistant cashier and victim of both holdups, said. Then came the bloody Dillinger gang raid on the East Chicago bank. Dillinger was identified as one who shot down policeman O’Malley as the three bandits fled. The Community State Bank of Royal Center was robbed of SIOOO Feb. 10. Next bank to be victimized was the Ladoga State Bank. Loot was S6OO. p. w. Robbins and Otis Dickerson. both of Peoria, 111., confessed the robbery Dec. 17 and were sentenced to 10 years each in state prison. 527.000 Taken at South Bend On June 30 four men invaded the Merchants National Bank of South Bend, shouting like Indians on the warpath and shooting into the ceiling, scooped up $27,000, killed Policeman Howard Wagner and wounded three others. Efforts to link the Dillinger gang with the raid have failed. All the bark', in the state were left unmolested after that until Sept. 4, when the Union State Bank of Westfield was robbed of SIOOO by two men. One was caught at Indianapolis two days later, confessed and was sentenced. Police still are seeking his companion. Three men obtained $3500 from the Farmers’ State Bank of Mooreland Sept. 20. Jackie Owens, 23, Hugh Webb, 21, and Gerald Beougher, 23. all of Newcastle, confessed the crime Oct. 9 and were sentenced to 15 years each in the state prison. City Bank Is Robbed On Nov. 15. four men obtained approximately S2BOO from the Kentucky Avenue branch of the Union Trust Company, Indianapolis. Six days later the Carbon State! Bank was robbed of SIOOO by three i men. Wallace Brady and Everett Kocher, both of Anderson, and Lawrence Griffith, Bowling Green, were arrested at Minneapolis, Dec. | 20. Police say they have confessed, j They are awaiting trial at Brazil, j Latest hank robbery occurred Dec. 15, when four men stole approximately $3550 from the Farmers State Bank at La Paz. Later that day bank employes j identified Jacob Hizer, 29, South j Bend police character, as one of i the robbers. He is being sought. Three Suspects Held Two days later James Dorikis, 37.! South Bend; John C. Merryman, 33. Kokomo, and Mrs. Erma Boomer- I shine, alias Sally Carlson, Kokomo, I were arrested at Kokomo. Bank ! employes identified Dorikis and said ! they believed Mrs. Boomershine was j the blond driver of the bandit car. Two bank employes were robbed while carrying funds on the streets during the year. Jesse L. Reeves, 48, teller for the Greenfield Banking Cos., was robbed of $3500 Sept. 15. while en route to Greenfield from Indianapolis. Frank Reeder, manager of the Twelve Points branch of the Merchants National Bank of Terre Haute, was robbed of $1525 by three bandits, Dec. 15, while en route to his office.

County marriage license clerk, who points with pride to the fact that 4175 licenses were obtained in 1934, as compared to 2424 in 1933. The all-time record for the sale of licenses in December was smashed last year as 347 couples applied for licenses. The highest December prior to last year was in 1928 when 343 licenses were obtained in the last month. The year 1928 also showed the most licenses obtained. 4379. Mr. West, a red-haired bachelor, claims that 1935 will smash all records. Another figure, equally significant, is that during the first 11 months of last year 2179 divorces were applied for and 1476 granted in the courts. Marriage licenses procured duiing that time were 3826, or a ratio of approximately 2.1 of licenses and divorces granted. Most divorces were granted and licenses obtained in June with 565 licenses and 345 divorces.
