GEORGE WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.— Dread name after dread name was rub-| bed off the nation’s list of public | 1euemles in 1934 as the federal gov- | | | | ernment gave blasting answer to the challenge of gangland’s killers. | The Department of Justice, which | |in 1933 had joined with state and municipal law enforcement agen- |cies in a smashing drive on the | kidnaping racket, directed its ai-i | fensive against a coterie of des—l peradoes whose murderous exploits | | had spread terror among peace of- | ficers and eitizens. | In showers of lead from the | guns of federal agents, John Dillin- (ger, Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, George ‘“Baby Face” Nelson and others encountered the same kind of death they themselves had dis- | pensed so ruthlessly. Patiently pressing their quest for | the perpetrator of the Lindbergh | | abduction-murder, investigators of ;(he Department of Justice as- | sisted New York and New Jersey | police in running down the clues which led to the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for “the crime of the century.” Law Reaches Out Fast work by the division of in- | vestigation resulted in the return within six days after her abduction of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, socially Ipx‘ominem young mairon of Louis- ville. Thomas Robinson, Jr., of Nashville, was named as the kid- naper. The pace set by federal, state, and local officers in bringing kid- napers and killers to summary jus- | tice was hailed throughout the na- tion as evidence that an aroused | public, supporting energetic and co- | ordinated police action, can tri-| umph over an audacious under-|{ world. From the enactment in July,| 1932, of the Lindbergh kidnaping | law to the capture of Hauptmann,| federal agents had investigated 29 | major abduction cases—and 27 of | them had been solved. In those cases, 74 persons were convicted, 16 life sentences and two death penalties were imposed while the grand total of prison terms! amounted to 1,236 years, accord- ing to federal officers. Singly, in pairs, and in larger groups, violators of the law were marched to death or to prison cells. In the last fiscal year, investi- gators located 928 fugitives from federal justice while fingerprint work of the identification unit re- sulted in the tracking down of 4,- 356 persons wanted for offenses of all kinds. A year of extraordinary on- slaught on the forces of gangland st the division of investigation the loss of three of its most cap- able agents. W. Carter Baum, Sam- uel P. Cowley and Herman E. Hol- |lis met death in fusillades from gangster guns. Another development of the yearl in the war on crime was the con- version of the military prison on y Alcatraz Island, off San Francis- |co's famed Golden Gate, into an “escape-proof” penitentiary for dangerous federal prisoners. This isolated Bastile holds George ‘‘Ma- chine Gun” Kelly, his notorious confederate, Harvey Bailey, Al Ca- pone and sundry other scofflaws. ‘Buttressing the nation’s drive on outlaws was the “twelve-point” | criminal legislative program enact- ,ed by Congress. This provided | drastic penalties including death | sentences for kidnaping and extor- tion with certain interstate fea- tures, for national bank robberies, assaults on certain classes of fed- eral officers, and commercial racke- teering. The national government was authorized to use its taxing power to regulate the sale, transportation and possession of machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and other wea- pons of the underworld. The division of investigation steadily increased its force and modernized its equipment.
