Attorney General Cummings said the gangster was shot man E. Hollis, who were killed rington, Ill. searchers. Niles Center was described Tuesday by Inspector Samuel P. Cowley and Special Agent Her- in a gun fight with him at Bar- When the body was found by federal men it was found Nelson had been shot five times in the stomach and twice in the chest and five times in each leg. The body was found in a ditch clad only in underclothing. The outer garments were found by department of justice as 15 miles from Chicago. “Make it clear that our men shot him,” Cummings said. Nelson was considered the nation’s No. 1 criminal since the death of John Dillinger in Chicago several weeks ago. Dil- linger was reported to have been killed by Hollis. Find Ends 24-Hour Search -Finding of the body concluded an intensive 24-hour search for the gangster, who was alleged to have been the killer of W. Carter Baum, a federal agent, at the battle of Little Boliemia in northern Wisconsin in April. to his capture. A reward of $5,000 has been outstanding for his capture. | Another reward of $2,500 was offered for information leading Death of the notorious gunman at the hands of federal agents means that the reward will not be paid, it was said, Nelson was 25 years old and a native of Chicago. He was sentenced to Joliet penitentiary on a robbery chargé in 1981 to serve from one year to life but escaped in February, pee RDER OF SISTERS NEARING SOULTION, AUTHORITIES AVER Great Importance Attached to Finding Woman With Knowledge of Case held. Mrs Anna, Dill, operator of a ist camp at South Langhorne, Philadelphia, told state police “reasonably certain” that the and woman found slain and the three dead children at Carlisle stayed her camp on Nov. 19 and 20.

The attorney general previously had expressed regret at the death of the two federal agents. The search for Nelson's body was directed by H. H. Clegg, who was rushed into the Chicago area Tuesday night. Department officers would not say whether Clegg was present at the dis- covery. J. Edgar Hoover, head of the justice department's bureau of investigation, who directed the activities, went into Cummings’ office shortly after the an- nouncement. : “We got him all right,” he said, “but it was two lives to one. I am speaking only of the two men he got.” He referred to Cowley and Hollis. | Search for Nelson was accelerated Wednesday with the finding of the justice department automobile which |he took after the gun fight with the federal operators Tuesday. - His trail freshly marked with the blood of two federal agents, Nelson, was hunted over northern Illinois "| Wednesday by massed forces of gov- ernment, state and metropolitan police ooters. The mobilization of manhunters was intensified as Samuel P. Cowley, ace nemesis of gangland and a leader of the federal drive that brought ‘down John Dillinger, died early Wed- nesday in an Elgin hospital. He was the second victim of a machine gun battle Tuesday afternoon on a high- way in the outskirts of suburban Bar- q In the brief but furious exchange, Herman E. Hollis, another federal agent who participated in the death of Dillinger, was killed instantly in a shower of bullets unloosed by Nelson and an unidentified companion. Melvin Purvis, head of the Chicago office of the bureau of investigation, declared he would “get” Nelson if it was the last thing he did. Standing by the bedside of Cowley 8 few minutes after his right-hand- man had his battle to live, Purvis whispered: “I'll get ‘Baby Face’ Nelson—dead or alive. In brief periods of consciousness, said Purvis, Cowley tried hard to speak to him, but only muttered the name “Nelson.” Purvis said Cowley'’s body would be sent to Salt Lake City, Utah, for bur- ial. Cowley was reared and educated there. ‘The woman in the outlaw’s car, said Purvis, was probably Mrs. Gillis, Nel- son's wife.
