He swaggered from a neighborhood theatre Sunday night into the raking fire of government guns. Too late he saw the gleaming steel of the trap set for him. His hand went for his gun. Too late. Three bullets tore into his body —one in the neck, two in the body. He staggered, fell. It was the end of John Dillinger. The hour was 10:40 p. m., central dzylight saving time. The place was just outside the Biograph theatre, a neighborhood movie at Fullerton and Lincoln Avenues, on the north- west side, in territory where the blood of many a Chicago gangster has flowed before. Had the climax of this bank rob- ber-desperado-killer’s career been pre-arranged it could have been no more sensational. There was even 80 large an audience, loitering about the vicinity of the theatre, drawn by the Presence of so many department of justice agents, that for a time some believed a holdup was planned. Elaborately Dillinger, his hair dyed a darker hue, tell-tale scars on his cheeks lifted by plastic surgery, gold-rimmed spec- tacles framing his shifty eyes, nose straightened, a carefully groomed black moustache adorning his leering lip, and the whorls of li. fingertips obliterated by acid, strode through the lobby and sauntered down the street. He passed, apparently without rec- ognition, Melvin EI. Purvis, chief of the Chicago bureau of the department of justice. Purvis, seated in a park- ed car, moved his right arm in a cas- ual signal. Several agents leaped forward, their pistols glistening in the garish light. Suddenly the mask of insolence dropped from the phantom free-boot- er’s countenance. He darted into an alley, reaching for a pistol for a duel to the death. As he did so, a fiv shot fusillade cut him down. of the bullets struck him. Two ed their mark and whizzed into terrified throngs gathered near theater, striking the legs of two gap- ing women spectators. The infamous fugitive sprawled on the pavement in a crumpled heap. There was a tense silence, then the Scores of horrified witnesses, the agents, two Chicago detectives and five officers from East Chicago, In- diana, rushed forward. Sirens shrieked and alarm bells clanged as a patrol wagon, an am- bulance and a number of police squad cars raced up. Mrs. Etta Natalsky and Miss Theresa Paulus, both wound- ed in the leg, were carried to the am- bulance. Dillinger, still breathing, was placed in the patrol car. Dies at Hospital The vehicle transporting the wound- ed Dillinger made for the Alexian Brothers hospital. He died without word or motion, before medical aid could be administered, at a street crossing enroute to the hospital. The body was laid on the green lawn of the hospital. Four govern- ment operatives stood guard. A dep- uty coroner arrived, and the dead out- law was borne to the county morgue. Stripped, cold and colorless as marble, which the lion’s share of the estimat- ed thousands of loot he and his brig- ands had gathered in daring raids was Prechette, an Indian girl who ob- viously ranked firs; among the des- Perado’s many women friends. Purvis learned he planned to attend the Biograph theater. He 15 crack shots—by f grim coincidence one for each victim of murders at- tributed to the Dillinger marauders. source of the information. was ai ti i £ it : iJ
