Haines, In prison since last October, must terve the balance of his term. The cats created extreme Interest In the Red Top district. Claimed Trial Bushed The appeal taken by Attorney Raw lea Moore, was based upon the grounds that Haines was rushed to trlsl without due notice, that pre Judicial influences affected the ver dict, and that the district attorney made prejudicial statements In bis closing arguments.

Cummlnga, who stopped In Chicago last night briefly while en route to Hawaii, aald he knew who furnished the tip, but that he would not direct payment of the reward until after his return from the ir.ld Paclfle. The "girl In red" and a woman companion were reported by the Chi cago police to be held, but the federal agents denied this. Other reports mentioned the name of two convicts who might have given the authoritlea the "tip of death." From them, the reports aald. Sergeant Martin Zarkovlch of the East Chicago, Ind., police might have received the Information that DUUnger could be found at the theater. In this con nection It waa regarded as signifi cant that the sergrant and several other East Chicago policemen were on the scene of Dilllnger's desth. Plan New Drive. Sergeant Zarkovlch took a fur lough, and It waa no secret that he took It for the sole purpose of look ing for DUUnger. He loafed arourtd pool rooms and other places where Information about DUUnger might be had. He got It, presumably, but so did the federal Investigators. The end of DUUnger, federal au thorities aald, la but the beginning of a new and highly organized drive to capture other members of the Dll linger mob, especially George "Baby Face" Kelson, also known as Lester Olllls. Detroit police were reported looking for Nelson on the theory that a motor car that figured in a Detroit holdup was used by him In escaping from Sandusky, O. Many View Body. While the speculation over the "tip off" was at Its height the morbidly curious had their chance to satisfy their longing for a look at Dilllnger's body. Prom early Sunday night on they turned the Cook county morgue Into a lively spot, jamming in to see the man who brought terror to the middle west. What they aaw was a body, tilted on an angle of 48 degrees In a glaea or i Aboard Cmlaer New Orleans with President Roosevelt. KAILUA BAY, Hawaii.

There waa so much pushing and shoving among the crowds that Dep uty Coroner Jacob M. Schewel bad to shout a warning that no more spec tators would be permitted to view the body until they behaved. "Weil behave." they shouted and another throng marched forward to see John DUUnger In death. Clime Doesn't Py. - "I wouldn't have wanted to aee him," one spectator remarked, "ex cept Z think it s a moral lesson, don't you? It's like the coroner said, 'crime doesn't pay,' doea It?" No one answered, but there was the $7.70 they found in Dilllnger's pocket and there was the It coat to hold the Inquest. "I hope," said Coroner Walsh as he closed the Inquest, "that It won't be long before the rest of the DUUnger gang is brought to justice In a simi lar manner and It will he a pleasure as coroner to conduct these Inquests. I am gratified to report that all this cost the county waa as for a Jury." And probably, the police believe, the coroner's hope will be realized. Information from police aourcea last ntght Indicated that a former con vict whose sweetheart DUUnger stole put him on the spot. She was the "mysterious woman !n red," who with a woman companion, was at the- desperado'a aide when he was killed by police bullets. The government today added to their list of persons wanted, the phy slelsn who through fear or revenue gave DUUnger hla facial disguise. The desperado'a face had undergone a surgical operation. Two Incisions had been made to give the face a rounded contour and another to obliterate a chin dimple. L LA GRANDE. Ore.. July 34.

(Continued from page one) He aald be had told the youths to "drive the car around the block,', in a demonstration. He testified that "around the block," did not literally mean that, but a distance sufficient for a test of the worthiness of the auto. The car waa driven to thla city. Ashcraft swore to the com plaint. In the light of this evidence the court directed an acquittal. In the case' of Alfred Poeton of Plnehurst. indicted a year ago for as sault with a deadly weapon, Poston entered a plea of guilty to simple assault, and sentence waa deferred until September 4. The action arose out of a roadside argument with state troopers, over game laws.
