Z.ARO AG HA, 164 YEARS OLD, DIED TODAY IN TURKEY

ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 29 (UP) — Zaro Agha, the ancient Turk whose life bridged two epochs in history, died today in the Eftal hospital, painlessly and looking forward to an eternity in paradise attended by the entrancing houris of Islam. For several days he had been sinking, suffering from a hopeless combination of uremia and arteriosclerosis. Between periods of coma, sometimes delirious, he reviewed the events and triumphs of his life, and occasionally mumbled: “I am 164 years old.” His age was his pride, his age and virility that took his six feet of thick bones covered by wrinkled brown skin to New York and London only four years ago, to go to night clubs, ride in an airplane and bounce up resiliently after being hit by a Broadway taxicab. Dr. Bedjet Sabit Bey told him be was going to die. “I have lived longer than any man,” he said. “I am all ready.” He took a sip from a glass of milk beside his bed in a ward filled with men a century and more his junior and dozed off. Toward the last his smile became fainter. He did not recognize the United Press correspondent with whom he frequently talked and to whom he boasted with youthful confidence.

looks good to me. Tell that little Frances to keep smiling. This sure keeps a fellow moving. I will be leaving soon and you will not need to worry any more. Tell the girls hello. Hope everybody is well.

“Johnnie.”

The girls to whom Dillinger referred in the letter are his half sisters, Frances and Doris. They live with their father and keep house for

him.

The letter refuted a statement of Albert “Pat” Reilly, St. Paul, D.illin ger gangster, who told authorities that the desperado was dead. The Star story included several other letters which Dillinger had written to his family but they had been made public previously. The elder Dillinger never has doubted that his son is alive. “I can’t help believing he is alive and well. John would let me know if lie was going to die,” the father said. On the visit referred to in the letter, Dillinger spent a weekend at the Mooresville farm home and partook of a home cooked chicken dinner. The meeting was in the form of a fatnily reunion. A woman, later identified as Evelyn Frechette, his French Indian sweetheart, accompanied Dillinger.

and

BEDFORD, Ind., June 29, (UP) A pond between Springville Avoca was dragged by state police yesterday in an unsuccessful search for the body of John Dillinger, it was

learned today.

Stories that a body had been tossed into the pond two months ago have been circulated frequently. Two federal agents were said to have assisted in the search.

ford store.

shoes.
