They were attempting to duplicate the stunt of their former chieftan, Dillinger, in bluffing their way out of Ohio penitentiary with fake weapons. The prison grapevine said Pierpont was seriously wounded. ‘Where Dillinger successfully made his way out of Crown Point, Ind., jail last spring by cowing a guard with a pistol fashioned of wood, Pierpont and Makley were unsuccessful in attempt- ing to bluff Ohio guards with weap- ons made from soap. Weapons Perfeci Imitations The weapons, those who saw them sald,” wete “perfect” imitations” of 4 -32 calibre revolver and an suypmatic pistol. More than a dozen shots ae fired by prison guards who rushed to the L-block, where condemned prisoners are housed, in response to an alarm sounded by Guard John T. Jones, who sensed the attempt at a break as soon as he saw the two prisoners out- side their cells and in the cage sur- rounding the L-block. The story of the attempted break by the condemned Dillinger gangsters to escape as told by Deputy Warden J.C. Woodward follows: “Two guards were in the death house when the attempted break was “One was in the cage putting a meal into Pierpont’s cell. Pierpont told him he did not feel good and wanted some salts. “As the guard turned away from the cell door, Pierpont hit him with his fist and said, ‘give me that key.’ O. E. Slagle, the guard, refused and Pierpont struck him again and took the key away from him.

The Endeavour finished the course flying @ protest flag. The race com- mittee, hailed from the Press boat, said they were ignorant of the rea- son for the protest but from the Argo it appeared Rainbow might not have answered the challenger’s luff as she | passed Endeavour to windward while overtaking her. No more see-saw contest ever was| staged than that of the two racing yachts Saturday as first one and then the other led. The American boat was first away but Endeavour made up the margin and in a thrilling bow to bow dash rounded the first 10 mile buoy 27 seconds ahead. Rainbow began to go to town from there, quickly closed the gap, took the lead and rounded the second furning mark at 20 miles with a lead of 59 seconds. She lost some of her advantage in the early stages of the last 10 miles JAPANESE TYPHOON TAKES 1,661 LIVES, INJURES OVER 5,000 Nation’s Manufacturing Area Is Destroyed; Ripening Rice Fields Ruined DAMAGE OVER 300 MILLION 13,674 Structures Demolished; Estimate 4,975 Injured, Hundreds Missing Tokyo, Sept. 22.—(#)—The dead in the typhoon which roared across western and central Japan Friday was placed by the home ministry Saturday at 1,661.

Early estimates of the property damage ran to more than $300,000,- 000, a serious threat to the empire’s ambitious industrial export. program. The newspaper Asahi described the typhoon’s material damage as second only to that wrought by the earthquake of 1923. Information available at the United States embassy indicated no Amer- cans were injured or suffered serious loss. Only land casualties could be esti- mated, there being no attempt to compute the loss of life at sea. Offi- cial compilations numbered 4,975 in- jured and hundreds missing. In the harbor of Osaka, where 1,600 small craft foundered or were hurled to the shore, at least 100 drowned. Hundreds of fishermen may have been lost, according to Rengo (Japanese) dispaiches, as 2,350 fishing crafts failed to return te Shikoko island.

Porter, farmer living one- half mile west and two miles north of ;Menoken, was killed early Baturday morning when the truck he was driv- ing was hit by a Northern Pacific train at the Menoken crossing. Porter was on his way to Linton jWhen the accident occurred. Wit- nesses say that he must have failed to see the train and were of the opinion that freight cars on the tracks par- tially obstructed his view. Hit squarely in the center of the driver's cab, the truck was hurled from the tracks and completely de- molished. Porter was picked from the wreckage and rushed to a local hospital but died five minutes after WOMAN ACCOMPLICE ‘IN LINDBERGH CASE SOUGHT IN ROUNDUP Inspector Sullivan Maintains at Least Three Persons In- volved in Crime CONDON SUPPORTS THEORY, Handwriting Expert Declares he arrived.

New York, Sept. 22—(4)—The mys- terious figure of a woman was inject- ed by police Saturday into their search for accomplices of Bruno Rich-, ard Hauptmann, alleged receiver of the Lindbergh ransom money. Assistant Chief Inspector John J. 562 | Sullivan, head of New York City's detective force who has held stead- fastly to his belief Hauptmann did not play a lone hand in his alleged part in the kidnap case, sent his de- tectives on the trail of a woman he believes aided Hauptmann. Sullivan recalled footprints of a woman were found beneath the win- dows of the Lindbergh home near Hopewell, N. J., the blustery night of March 1, 1932, shortly after the kid- naping of 20-months-old Charles Au- gustus Lindbergh, Jr., was discovered. The footprint of a man also was found near the foot of the ladder which thé kidnaper leaned against the house and down which he went with the baby from the second-floor window of the nursery. That foot- print was to be checked, New Jersey state police said, with footprints of Hauptmann. Not a One Man Job Despite the expressed belief of other investigators that Hauptmann had no aid, Sullivan has held to his view that it was “not a one-man job.” Also he has held that “if Hauptmann was not actually at the scene of the kidnaping he had a hand in the machinery.” Dr. John F. Condon, the “Jafsie” who acted as intermediary for Col. Lindbergh in his efforts to obtain the safe return of the baby, also express- ed the belief Saturday that Haupt- mann was involved and that he wag not alone. Condon said he believed at least three persons were involved, and, re- calling that Hauptmann had ex- plained his possession of the $13,750 in ransom notes found in his garage by stating it had been entrusted to him by Isadore Fische, said he thought police should investigate Fische’s death last March in Ger- many. Police extended their search for further ransom certificates to Haupt- mann’s native town of Kemenz, Ger- many, where the prisoner, as a youth, was known as a “bad boy.” Search Old Home for Clues Arthur Johnson, a German-speak- ing New York detective, now in Vienna awaiting the extradition of Ivan Poderjay, wanted here on a charge of perjury in connection with the case of the missing Agnes Tuf- verson, New York and Detroit cor- poration lawyer, was ordered to go to Kemenz to interview officials there on the theory that some of the ran- som money might have been sent there. Hauptmann’s 69-year-old mother has said that her son had sent her gifts of money at Christmas time each year. Johnsen also was instructed to go to Leipzig to check Hauptmann’s story that Fische had given him the $13,750. Police skepticism of this part of Hauptmann’s story was intensified by information coming to them from a man they declined to identify. This man told them that Fische borrowed from Hauptmann, instead of giving the prisoner money to keep until he returned from abroad. Fische Story Discredited Police said this witness told them that at one time, in 1932, Fische told Hauptmann he needed money, and somewhat to his surprise, Hauptmann offered a loan. According to this man’s story, Hauptmann loaned Fische a total of $7,500 and in addi- tion Fische borrowed from at least two other persons. Albert S. Osborn, a handwriting expert, informed Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the New Jer- sey state police, that he was “pasi- tive” all the Lindbergh kidnaping notes were written by Hauptmann. Other bits of evidence included a number of personal effects of Haupi- mann, obtained at his home and now in possession of District ‘ Attorney Samuel Foley, in the Bronx. Hauptmann, the 35-year-old alien who was arrested after a $10 bill he used to pay for gasoline was identified as part of the ransom money, was sub- jected to further steady questioning until early Saturday morning by Dis- trict Attorney Samuel J. Foley of the Bronx. At the conclusion of the ques- tioning, Foley « sCoutisued’ on Page 3) :
