MADISON, Wis„ April 24, (UP)— Department ■ f justice agents reassemble) | their shattered lines today for a new drive against John Dillin-gc-r and his gang of most ruthless machine gunners. Agents xho - offered two casualties in their ranks and saw three other p -rsons hit by thq gang’s bullets had two accomplishments to their credit from a fiasco entrapment of the gang .; the Little Bohemia lodge near Mercer, Wis., yesterday. The cost was one agent and bystander decad and another agent and two civilians

wounded.

The fe leral men held three girls whom the gangsters deserted and had - attered the* desperate group which they were unable ito capture. The agents added the name of George (Baby Face) Nelson to the list of men wanted in connection with the gang’s activities. Nelson, they believed, was the tiny blond ma -iiine gunner who felled Federal Agent W. Carter Baum, ace investigat r from Chicago and two othqr men when they appeared at a resort at which two of the gangsters were c. cnti iand<*ering an automobile. Baum died from his woundsThe man believed to he Nelson with diother desperac |o was heliqved to have escaped westward toward Du-

luth, Minn.

Dillinger and two others escaped from the lodge to the southwest, after forcing a youth to drive them to Park Fall- where they seized another alitnmrbile. Tommy U Troll, St. Paul gangster, was believed to have been j with Dillinger. This trio was later seen at St. Paul park, a suburban city a few miles south of St. Paul. After escaping from an automobile load of police- I men. thq trio seized another aut-imo- ' bile on a country road. One of the J trio was believed to have been wound- | ed by the police-men’s pistol shots. St. Paul police believed Carroll was 1 one of the trio because of the 1 fugi-

her brother is suffering from tuberculosis and asked to have him placed in n sanitariup). Loach said he referred her to prison authorities and the governor. MERCER Wis, April 24.-Hun-dreds of officers, grimly ready for quarteiless battle, today stalked John Dillinger and his ruthless henchmen in the snow swept north woods. Crack marksmen advised from Washington that death of outlawry’s master machine gunner would obliviate expense of a trial, were concentrated at strategic points along the perimeter of a hugo circle that extended from Lake Superior to Chicago. Trailed in Wisconsin and Minnesota by one of the middle west’s greatest mobilization of law enforcement officials since two men -were lain and four wounded as 'the mobsters fled a resort near here Sunday night, the gunmen had not been imported since noon yesterday. At that time three of them engaged patrolmen in a suburb of St. Paul in a brisk pistol fight. They continued their flight after commandeering another car. It was considered possible that one of the three was Dillinger himself, although officers beliqved it more likely that the gang chieftain was still in the north woods. Unconfirmed rumors widespread last night in the northland said cne of the Dillinger followers was killed in battle and his body spirited away by th * fleqing gangsters. Local authorities could not find anyone, however, who saw the body carried away. Should the body have been tossed out in the wilderness it may he that it never will bq found. The wooded areas, swamps and lakes affording hiding places that might never be discovered. The other four—or-three if the rumors of a fatality should prove corroct—fugitives, separated from their confederates in the confusion of the ictreat from the Mercer tavern, had not been sightol by the host of federal agents or local officers davoting their efforts to their apprehension. Three -girls left behind when the seven gang members fled Sunday night at thq approach of the officers were questioned extensively, then taken out of the Eagle River, Wis., jail and headed for an undisclosed destination under heavy guard.

The man who said he was Dillinger scowled. “Don't talk back now,” ho said. “Do what we say.” Wanatka submitted. First, Dillinger directed the owner to pick nut some nqarby cottages and get them ready. With the gang settled, Dillinger d ided they would play poker and brought hi- men into the main lodge.
