Criminal John Dillinger
Died 25 Years Ago Today
Editor's Note A quarter of
a century ago the end came for
a stocky, grim-faced Hoosier who
had terrorized the entire Midwest.
With him died a brief but bloody
era that for sheer violence and
drama has never been equalled
in the history of American crime.
By DOS' RKKHKR
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Today
the name Dillinger is nothing but
a faint, bitter taste of memory
for his family and the veteran po
licemen and reporters who were
caught up in his sensational, hul
let pocked career.
But on that hot night 25 year's
ago July 22. 1934 when John Dil
linger was shot to death in front
of a Chicago movie theater, he
was perhaps the most notorious
person in the country.
For nearly 30 of his 31 years.
John Dillinger accomplished noth
ing to merit headlines. But by the
time he was shot down, he had
been blamed in one way or anoth
er for at least 13 killings, had
looted banks of at least 500,000.
and had cost law enforcement
agencies some two million dollars
for the most intense police hunt
this country had ever seen.
The Dillinger story actually be
gan May 22, 1933. when he was
released on parole from the In
diana State Prison after serving
nearly nine years of a 10-21-year
term for slugging and robbing a
Mooresville grocer of $550.
Before his arrest, Dillinger had
quit school, worked as a machin
ist, joined the Navy, and was dis
honorably discharged for deser
tion. He had married a 16-year-old
girl. She divorced him' while
he was in prison.
Dillinger always called his one
and only prison term "a bum rap
because his partner in the rob
hery turned state's evidence and
got off with a light term.
."I, was just an unfortunate boy.
he solemnly told newsmen -alter
one of his arrests. .
Dillinger wasn't beyond prison
walls for a month before he held
up the manager of a thread fac
tory in Monticello. III. Then he
branched out to where the real
money was in the banks.
Dillinger or the men he worked
with were blamed for dozens
of bank robberies in subsequent
months all over Indiana, Iowa. II
linois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio.
Pennsylvania, and South Dakota
The Dillinger gang was a rather
loosely organized outfit, and to
this day there is a lot of doubt
that Dillinger gave all the orders
Operating with him were such
seasoned gunmen as John Hamil
ton, George (Baby Facet Nelson
Alvin Karpis, and Fred and Ar
thur Barker.
On Sept. 26, 1933 four months
after his parole from the same
prison 10 convicts shot their way

Dillinger later admitted that he
had engineered the escape hy

The Dillinger mob resumed its
foray against midwestern banks,
arming for the raids by looting
police station arsenals.
Firially on Jan. 25, 1934. Dill
inger and three of his men were
nabbed without a fight by law of
ficers in Tucson, Ariz. Dillinger
was flown to Crown Point, Ind
and five weeks later blulled his
way out of the "escape-proof
jail with a wooden gun he carved
in his cell.
Dillinger's luck held again as
he shot his way out of a police
trap a month later in St. Paul,
Minn., with his French-Indian
sweetheart, Evelyn Frechette
Then he drove back to his home
town of Moorsville and ate a
leisurely chicken dinner with his
father and relatives.
"Johnny is not a bad boy at
heart," the father always said.
Federal agents found Dillinger
and six companions late on the
night of April 22, 1934 holed up
in the little Bohemia Lodge near
Mercer, Wis. Once more he es
caped. With hordes of police hot on his
tail, Dillinger headed for Chicago,
his friends and death. .

as "The Woman in Red." FBI
agents surrounded, the Biograph
Theater on the near northwest
side of the city and waited two
hours , for Dillinger to emerge
from a Clark Gable movie en
titled. "Manhattan Melodrama."
It was, ironically enough, a gang
ster picture in which a hoodlum
died in the electric chair.
No such formal fate awaited
Dillinger. He saw the police clos
ing in. reached for an automatic
pistol in his pocket and tried to
run into a nearby alley. He was
dropped with two bullets in his
chest and another through his
neck.
Hundreds of spectators gather
ed. Women dipped their handker
chiefs into his spilled blood for
souvenirs. 'A crowd of 2.000 mob
bed the. morgue for a look at the
body.
A similar scene took place
three days later in Indianapolis,'
when Dillinger was buried in a
shady spot at Crown Hill Cem
etery. For several years the curious
tramped a well-marked path to
Dillinger's grave. Some chipped
his small granite headstone for
keepsakes.
All that is over now. Scarcely
a dozen persons have inquired
the way to the grave this 25th
summer. '

Missile Shot
Said Success
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (AP)
An Army Redstone missile was
launched here Tuesday night on
what appeared to he a highly suc
cessful 250-mile flight.
The Redstone, similar to that
which will boost this nation's sev
en astronauts on space capsule
familiarization tests, darted out
over the Atlantic Ocean shortly
before midnight.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration has ordered
several Redstone missiles to ac
quaint the seven space pioneers
with the capsule which will carry
one of them into an orbit about
the earth, probably in 1961.
Most of the astronauts, who are
now training at Langley Air Force
Base, Va., are expected to take
comparatively short trips in the
capsule. Redstones will hurl the
manned space capsules as high as
100 miles into the air and deposit
them a few hundred miles out in
the Atlantic for recovery.
These tests could start next
spring. Chimpanzees will try out
the space chambers before man
gets his chance.
The task of placing the first
American in orbit has been as
signed to the Atlas intercontinent
al range ballistic missile.

cedent. He said he knows of no
other secretary of labor who has
acted in a similar manner.
It is expected that the White
House will use the information he
provides as a basis for deciding
whether to invoke the national
emergency provisions of the Taft
Hartley Act.
Under Taft-Hartley, the federal
government could issue an 80-day
antistrike injunction if necessary.
But it was felt this would ac
complish little at this time.
Both sides appear to be dug in
for a long struggle. Eisenhower
reportedly feels that the 80-day
cooling-off period would not change
their positions although he has not
ruled out the possibility of invok
ing Taft-Hartley.
The United Steelworkers Union
strike has idled a half million
workers in basic steel and shut
down nearly 90 per cent of the
nation's steel production. Another
45,500 workers in such allied fields
as coal, railroads and trucking al
so have been idled as a result
of the strike.
Vital defense projects, however,
have been assured of enough steel
to last until September, federal
officials reported Tuesday.
The union seeks a 15-ccnt-hourly
annual package increase, claiming
that the industry can afford it
without raising the price of steel
The industry has refused, claim
ing that any increase in labor cost
would force a price increase, and
thus contribute to inflation. Pre
strike steel wages averaged $3.10
an hour.
The fact-finding will not inter
rupt the mediation that has been
going on here in an effort to set
tie the strike. Federal mediators
meet again with both-sides today.
Both sides said after Mitchell's
announcement that they would co
operate with him.

A If
Fact-Finder
Puts Aide In
WASHINGTON (AP)-His des
ignation as a steel strike fact find
er puts Secretary of Labor James
P. Mitchell in the limelight for
a possible liefiO vice presidential
nomination bid.
Mitchell is obviously one of 10
Republicans President Eisenhow
er considers well qualified for fu
ture advancement in party af
fairs even for the presidency
itself.
Of the 10, Eisenhower has named
only Vice President Richard M.
Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller. He also has ssvd
that he will not choose between
them if they contest for the presi
dential nomination next year.
While the President is keeping
to himself the other eight names
on his list, he is known to look
with , a pleased political eye on
Mitchell.
The labor secretary outlined his
one-man fact-finding role Tuesday
and told questioning newsmen that
his reports to Eisenhower could
form the basis for any decisions
Eisenhower might make to act.
He said he would consult with oth
er government olficials and even
with the disputing parties if that
seems desirable. He indicated,
however, his studies will be in
formal. Mitchell told a news conference
he will be operating under a pro
vision of the law creating the La
bor Department which authorizes
the secretary to investigate "the
causes of, and facts relating to"
all labor - management disputes
that might affect the welfare of
the people.
Mitchell said that so far as he
knows, no other labor secretary
has acted in a similar manner.
If the secretary can contribute
to an acceptable settlement of the
steel wage dispute, he will have
gained political stature. If he fails,
his hopes for the 1960 vice presi
dential nomination could nose '
dive. Because he is a Roman Catho
lic, Mitchell has figured in a great
deal of GOP discussion for second
place on the ticket. His chances
evidently would be enhanced if the
Democrats, meeting first next
year, should put either Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Massl or Califor
nia's Gov. Edmund G. (PaO
Brown on either place on their
ticket. Both are Catholics.'
