The lad, who looks like his mother, Mrs. Michael Greisen, blushed a little as Governor Olson said “We can learn a lot from this little boy, we men.

Dillinger, it is said, kept his part of the bargain, but that one of the middlemen kept part of the money and those who aided him in the escape actually received only about half that amount. The News said that details of the Crown Point “wooden gun” episode and the Dillinger gang's escape from the Indiana state penitentiary are in the hands of Postal Inspectors J. H. MeWhorter and J. J. McCarthy and Supervising Captain John Stege of the Chicago police. | The information that Dillinger bought his way out of the Crown Point jail, the story related, came from Arthur O'Leary, former inves- tigator for Louis Piquett, Dillinger’s lawyer, and under indictment with him on a charge of harboring Dil- Inger. The Daily News did not name the persons to whom the money is re- ported to have been paid, stating that as a matter of public policy it was not disclosing any information that might hamper the Indiana state's case inst the Dillinger ac- complices. Indiana officials, the News said, are making ready to return numerous indictments, some of which will in- clude a few of Indiana's notables, covering the entire history of the Dillinger gang in that state. According to the story, Dillinger paid $11,000 to @ middle man, now @ federsl prisoner, and the middle- man, being a@ little short of money himself, held out on his companions and paid little more than halg the | Bulletins i Carmel, Cal.—A police dog picked up the trail of Mrs. Eliot Schaffner, wealthy Chicago woman, missing from her home here, and followed the scent for more than an hour.
