KIDNAP GANG FREES WABASH COLLEGE MAN Bares Details of Ordeal After His Release in Chicago. ABDUCTED ON SUNDAY Student Was Brought Here, He Says; $50,000 Ransom Goes Unpaid. Picked man-hunters" from the Indianapolis and Chicaeo offices of the Department of Justice swung into action today in the Indiana kidnaping of Allen C. Bomberger, 21-year-old Wabash College student, seized Sunday on a Crawfordsville street and released in Chicago before his abductors obtained the $50,000 ransom demanded. Tile kidnaped student reported to Chicago police this morning that hr was taken to Indianapolis. In sipte of his blindfold, he said, he censed from sounds that he heard that he was in a large city and Indianapolis is the only citv of considerable size that the kidnapers could reach from Crawfordsville in a short time. Abductor Known as Ed. One of the abductors was known as Ed and it was this man who maintained custody of young Bombrrger from 9 p. m. Sunday when he was kidnaped until 2:30 a. m. today when he was released. It was Ed. he said, who dictated what he was to write, to his father. Lower Bomberger. prominent Hammond (Ind) attorney.

The father of youne Bomberger said no money had been paid "because we didn't have it.” The abductors seized him as he was taking a walk, young Bomberger said. He was blindfolded and carried away in an automobile. H H. Relnecke. in charge of the Indianapolis office of the Department of Justice, who gained national prominence by his arrest of Verne Sankey. rushed to Crawfordsville to take charge of the investigation. In Chicago. Melvin H. Purvis, nemesis of John Dillinger and other leading •public enemies,” threw the full force of the Federal investigators there into the field. Meanwhile, the technique of kidnap investigations, developed by the Department of Justice since the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby, was applied and members of the kidnaped youth's family refused to disclose details of the ransom letter which they admitted had been received Monday. The center of the search for the abductors—two men and a woman—appeared to be in Crawfordsville. Released in Chicago When he was taken to Chicago he was held for a time in a room tha’ he believed was near the downtown district although he was kept blindfolded and gagged while he was led to ihe place. When he finally was released he found himself in the Chicago Loop at Dearborn and Quincy-sts, near the old Federal Building. He walked to the Great Northern Hotel where he placed a call to his lather after telling the hotel manager he had been kidnaped.

FOG BLANKET COVERS U. S. All Planes Grounded and Traffic All Over Nation Is Slowed. A dense fog settled like a malevolent. ghost over the country today, grounding all except Far-Western planes, locking all ships from New York and other Eastern harbors, and slowing commercial truck and rail traffic for losses extending into millions of dollars. Federal meteorologists from widely separated stations could not agree in detail as to when the fog will lift, but none predicted safe airways today. John H. Armington, meteorologist here, said the fog may shift from depression to depression all over the country during the day, but stated that so long as the weather remains as unsettled as it is, the humidity will feed the fog and conditions will remain in general the same. Cars Pass Passengers Although the temperature here was 52 this morning at 8, which is about 25 degrees above normal, it is expected to fall tonight, but even so will remain somewhat above freezing. Indianapolis streets were screened by the fog and motor traffic proceeded with great care. Street cars in the early morning hours passed waiting potential sengers by because the operators could not even see their outlines in the fog. Intercity and interstate trucks were far behind schedules and many of them, having cut their customary 45-mile-an-hour average to a snail’s pace, were forced to stay ! over, so exhausted had their drivers become. No airplanes left from any Indianapolis port, and air lines could not promise travelers when they could take off. Among those grounded here and unable to leave were a party of five National Guard planes, headed by Maj. Gen. Robert Tyndall, bound for the air races in Miami, Fla. Forry Boats Halted Outside New York harbor passenger ships from many parts of the world lay at anchor, honking like wild geese, unable to venture into the harbor and deposit their passengers. Veteran pilots said it was the worst fog in their memories and refused flatly to assume any responsibility for navigation in it. Even ferry boats were not running. except two which set out last night into East River and lost their way. They were found eventually on mud banks, undamaged and their passengers safe.

Jan. 9.—Disguised as a long-wffiiskered fog. Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs visited his home town yesterday and then left as unobtrusively as Hamlet’s ghost. He did not call on Sheriff O. E Johnson, who. disguised also as a fog. was hunting the mayor outside the city in Huntington County to serve on him an order restraining him from doing w-fiat he's doing.

Today is the ninth day the mayor and the sheriff have been playing hide-and-seek, while the mayor has caused to have hooked up to the municipal lighting plant approximately 20 residences and six commercial plants. In overseeing this work the mayor would be in contempt of Circuit Court if the sheriff had served on him the Circuit Court order restraining him from thus placing the city in the commercial and residential electric power field Last night the City Council met without the ma; or.

Stating that he had personally learned that members of the police force were drinking to excess and associating with known gamblers and racket men” while off duty, Chief Mike Morrissey this afternoon warned through announcements read at roll cull that such actions must stop before "an example has to be made of someone.” "From what I can learn myself.” the chief s warning read, "some of our men nave been entirely too friendly with known gamblers and racket men, and have been seen in public with them while off duty on several occasions. "I want to remind you that a policeman should have a little dignity about him. The whole department can be held responsible for the action of one or more members and it must stop before an example has to be .made of someone.” The order was read in the absence of Chief Morrissey, who is in Milwaukee studying that city's police merit system for possible adoption by Indianapolis.

Trio Linked by Police to Robberies From Trucks Suspects Nabbed Near Monon Railroad After Motorist Sounds Warning; Burglars’ Tools Found. A chock of the recent activities of three men who were arrested early today when they could not explain to the satisfaction of police their presence at 38th-st and the Monon railroad tracks will solve, police say, se re! -scent major robberies from trucks here.

The men were Arthur Hawkins, 28, of 729 Buchanan-st, whose brother, Owen, was shot and killed last August by a merchant policeman who trapped him in the act of robbing a drug store; Chester Martin, 32, of 1729 Fullenwider-st, and Chester Alfrey, 28, of 1134 S. Key-stone-av. The men, held on vagrancy charges, were captured after Edward F. Steffen called police and said he was driving his car into his garage at 5118 Carrollton-av when his headlights revealed another car. bearing a California license plate I parked in a shadow. From this car, he said, three men fled and police say the men were the same as those they later cap- | tured. In the car, which had been stolen that night, police said, they 1 found a drill, a box of keys, a screw I driver and a set of Indiana license plates. Truckload of Cigars Found In a garage near where the car was parked was a truck loaded with cigars, the value of which was not immediately established. Police said that Hawkins had some time ago been connected with a cache of stolen cigars found in a raid. They were at work today checking into the activities of the trio in an effort, they said, to solve some of the recent truck robberies. A thief last night stole 50 chickens valued at SSO from the farm of George C. Gerth, R. R. 2, Box 548, and 30 chickens valued at $25 from his next-door neighbor, Harry B. Peterson, R. R. 2, Box 547.

HAUPTMANN KIDNAPER OF BABY, DR. CONDON CRIES

KARPIS GUNMAN IS SLAIN BY FEDERALS Gibson Is Shot Down in Battle at Chicago. By United, Press CHICAGO, Jan. 9. Federal agents scored a major coup today in capture of two members of the notorious Barker-Karpis gang of Oklahoma, suspected of kidnaping Edward G. Bremer of St. Paul last year, but ran into a dead end of investigation when their principal prisoner died of bullet wounds received in a short but fierce battle. The man killed was Russell Gibson, Oklahoma and Missouri gangster and associate of Arthur (Doc) Barger and Alvin Karpis, the Southwest's most wanted outlaws. Sixteen agents of the Department of Justice had a part in bringing Gibson down. They also captured another member of the gang whose identity was kept secret, and two women. One of the latter was said to be Mrs. Clara Gibson, wife of the slain man. None o' the Federal men was wounded, although Gibson fired at least 10 shots with a submachine gun. The Justice Department agents, headed by Harold Nathan, assistant director of the Bureau of Investigation. questioned the prisoners through the night in their headquarters in the Bankers Building, but refused to divulge what thev learned. Bank Elects Officers Arthur V. Brown, president, and other officers of the Indiana National Bank were re-elected yesterday afternoon at the bank’s annual directors’ meeting. The directors had been renamed earlier in the. day.

Kin of Isador Fisch Sail for U. S. to Smash at Alibi of Bruno Hauptmann

By United Press LE HAVRE, France, Jan. 9.—Detective Arthur Johnson of the New York police sailed on the lie De France today with relatives of the late Isidor Fisch to testify against Bruno Richard Hauptmann in the Lindbergh case. Hauptmann claimed in his defense that the ransom money found in his possession was given to him by Fisch. a business associate in New York. Fisch later returned to his home in Germany, where he died. Mr. Johnson is taking back Pinkus Fisch, brother of Isidor, and three other relatives. It was understood they would testify as to Isidor’s financial standing in an effort to disprove that Fisch had much money, or gave any to Hauptmann. Mr. Johnson made a thorough investigation in several German towns of Hauptmann's past life and activities, and of Fisch and his family. His departure was accompanied by considerable secrecy. When he left Paris, it was reported his name was Henry (Ried) Johnson, sailor friend of Miss Betty Gow, Lindbergh

Scores Three Damaging Points as He Takes. Spotlight of Lindbergh Trial and Spectacular Session of Court. BRUNO STARES STOLIDLY AT ‘JAFSIE’ German Carpenter Proved He Had Been in Nursery by Identifying Pins, Bronx Educator Tells Jury. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff Correspondent FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 9. session that crackled and snapped with sensation, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was taken three steps closer to the electric chair today, by the man known as "Jafsie.” Dr. John F. Condon, the benign patriarch of the Bronx whose negotiations with the alleged kidnaper ended with the $50,000 ransom hoax in a Bronx cemetery, directly tied the German carpenter to the Hopewell crime by three declarations— That he was the man with whom he first talked, for an hour, under the rustling trees of Woodlawn Cemetery, urging him in fatherly fashion to give up his mad exploit and return the child.

KILLER RISKED SURGERYJEATH John Dillinger Almost Died on Operating Table, U. S. Reveals. By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 9.—John Dillinger, attempting to evade arrest by means of plastic surgery, almost died while two surgeons were performing a noperation on his face in a. Chicago hideaway, the Government revealed today in the trial of Louis P. Piquett, the outlaws attorney. Piquett, former Chicago prosecutor. is on trial on charges that he served as the "master mind” of the Dillinger gang. J. Bernard Woll, assistant attorney general, described to the jury how Dillinger almost died. "The operation was performed in the home of James Probasco on the night of May 28,” Mr. Woll said. "Two doctors, Dr. Wilhelm Loeser and Dr. Harold Bernard Cassidy, performed the operation. Dillinger stripped and lay down on the bed in the rear room of that small, weather-beaten house on Craw-ford-av. "Dr. Cassidy was pouring ether on a mask over his nose. Suddenly Dillinger turned blue, there was a rattle in his throat and he stopped breathing. "Dr. Cassidy yelled out to Dr. Losser that ‘This man's dying.’” “It appears that Dillinger had not only gotten too much ether but had swallowed his tongue. A pair of forceps were used to get his tongue out of his throat and the doctors worked over him franticaly for several minutes before they were sure that he would not die.” FAVORS EXTENSION OF TAX DELINQUENCY LAW Governor’s Commission to Recommend Action to Legislature. Extension for two more years of the Indiana moratorium on sales of lands for delinquent taxes, and of a companion statute providing for the financing of delinquencies, will be recommended to the 1935 General Assembly by the Governors Commission on Taxation. The decision was reached this morning at the sixth, and what may be the final, meeting of the commission, after a sub-committee report, suggesting that there be no recommendation on the moratorium, had been rejected. Debate on the gross income tax was expected this afternoon.

Jersey had taken elaborate precautions to spike the story Hauptmann is expected to tell on the witness stand—that he received the almost $14,000 of Lindbergh ransom money found in his possession from Fisch and that, therefore, the dead man must have been the kidnaper. Fisch’s German relatives have said that he returned to the fatherland penniless, using money provided by Hauptmann. Detective Johnson went to Germany and interviewed Fisch’s relatives. He reported he found ample evidence that Fisch had no money when he died and never had had money. Testimony to this effect would wreck Hauptmann’s explanation of the most damaging evidence against him possession of the money Lindbergh paid for a baby that already was dead. Hauptmann, caught because he had spent some of the money, said that Fisch gave him a shoebox to care for when he returned to Germany. Without knowing its contents, he said, he put it on a closet shelf. Water leaked through, caused the box to fall apart, revealing its rich contents,

That he was the man who, adamant in his insistence upon receiving l $50,000 before he returned the child, actually received the ransom money in St. Raymond's Cemetery and disappeared in the darkness. That he admitted his presence in the nursery at Hopewell on the night of the kidnaping, by identifying two safety pins which Nurse Betty Gow had used to pin the blankets comfortably around Baby Lindbergh. In these three statements the 74-year-old patriarch was vigorous, confident, sure. He shouted the answers that may condemn the prisoner. Thfe were no qualifications in his statements, although in previous testimony he had shown an inclination to ramble, until called back to the main story by Atty, Gen. David T. Wilentz. Relates Dramatic Story Planted firmly on the witness stand—and looking so remarkably like Justice Thomas W. Trenchard above him that he might have been a brother—“Jafsie” related the melodramatic story of his negotiations, and marched, figuratively, over the long .rail that ended with Col. Lindberghs cruel disappointment. By far the most important state's witness, “Jafsie” appreciated his position and the overwhelming interest his appearance on the stand created. It would be going too far to say, perhaps, that he enjoyed his own recital. But at least he knew he was the vital link in the state’s circumstantial case against the pale-faced carpenter. Identification of the long series of ranson notes, each pricked with the mystic symbol with the three holes, interrupted his discoursive testimony at intervals. Notes Are Introduced There was the envelope containing two notes, the first he received from the kidnaper after he had advertised his willingness to serve as a negotiator. One note, addressed to him, advised him to take the other note to Col. Lindbergh. There were the "paper chase” notes, used in the child-like game of the extortioner, found beneath stones and in strange places to which "Jafsie” was directed. Thpre were the ransom notes complaining bitterly that “ouer man” failed to receive the money, and that the kidnapers were getting angry. And the note that led to the return of Baby Lindbergh's sleeping suit, the one already identified by Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Betty Gow as the one in which Charies was put to bed on the night of March 1. Experts to Take .Stand Finally, there were the notes making the final arrangements for payment of the money. The state will attempt to prove, by handwriting experts, that Bruno Richard Hauptmann wrote and sent all of the damning communications. During the morning, the crowd outside the Courthouse, standing in mist, fog and an occasional drizzle, was augmented by hundreds. Main-st, opposite the Courthouse, was four deep with would-be spectators hoping for a glimpse of “Jafsie,” of Lindbergh, or of any other notable who might emerge. Ropes held the crowds in check. Main-st looked like circus day—just before the parade passes. Meeting Is Described Relating his meeting with the men who took the money, Dr. Condon’s story went like this: Q—You went into the triangle front of the cemetery gates? A— Yes. Q—What did you do? A—l took the letter out and read it again. Q —Did any one come? A—Not right away. Q—Then what happened? A—l saw a handkerchief being waved from inside the gate. Q—What happened when you saw the white handkerchief wave? A—l (Turn to Page Six)
