OUTLAW SEIZED AT N.Y. HOME

Faces Trial in Indiana in Murder of Bank Aid At Bloomingdale.

NEW YORK, April 17 (U. P).— Claude Dickerson, 30, described as the last of the Perkins gang which terrorized the Midwest from 1934

to 1936, was held today as a fugitive from Indiana. A few hours later he waived extradition to that State where he is wanted for trial in the killing of Wood Carter, cashier of the Bank of Bloomingdale, in a holdup March 20, 1936. Dickerson denied the murder, He was captured by four detectives outside his home yesterday. Not a shot was fired. A small slim man, Dickerson had been living quietly in Jamaica, Queens’ Borough. : The holdup, in which Mr. Carter was slain, was said to have been staged by Dickerson and a man named Mills. The cashier walked in, saw the bandits and opened fire. Mills was killed. In making his escape, Dickerson was alleged to have killed Carter. The gang led by Bish Perkins, who was killed in a night club raid near St. Louis, committed 15 bank robberies, several murders and jail deliveries, one of which freed Dickerson from the jail at Houston, Mo. Of the eight gang members, five were killed and two are in jail. Indiana State Policemen Meredith Stewart and Harvey Hire and Lieut. James Pyke and Detective Robert Kelly of the New York Bomb and Forgery Squad were waiting for Dickerson when he walked into the house with Duard Lytel, 30, his brother-in-law, who also was arrested.

Dickerson’s Return May Be Delayed

Lieut. Ray Hinkle of the State Police said that Claude Dickerson probably would be returned to Indiana Wednesday or Thursday, but that there might be some delay since New York officers have announced they would file charges of violation of the Sullivan Act on possession of firearms. Lieut. Hinkle said that according to records, Dickerson never committed a crime in Indianapolis or Marion County. He is wanted at Houston, Mo., on charge of bank robbery, breaking jail, and being a fugitive from justice, the lieutenant said, and Missouri authorities may ask for his custody.
