(Continued From Pirst Page.) when a milkman, making his morn- ing rounds, came upon the Govern- | ment automobile in which Nelson and his companions had escaped. It was in a ditch in the western outskirts of { Winnetka, a North Shore suburb. t The car was out of gasoline. It was riddled with bullets and the front seat was covered with blood, indicating that one of the outlaws had been shot. The Government license plates had been changed for a set issued in In- diana. No clothing or weapons were found in the car. Car Brought to Chicago. Government agents brought the ma- chine to Chicago, where it was under- stood they would go over it thoroughly for finger prints. At Elgin, a Kane County coroner's jury urged authorities to run down the slayers of Cowley and Hollis and to bring them to trial for murder. The jurors, sitting at an inquest into Cowley's death, did not mention George “Baby Face” Nelson in their formal verdict but made it clear that they were “reasonably sure” he was | one of the savage gunners who ended the Government operatives' lives in a furious battle. “Cowley came to his death from gun- shot wounds in the abdomen suffered in & gun fight with two unidentified men and a woman which occurred when Cowley and Department of Jus- tice Agent Hollis stopped the car in which they were riding on the outskirts of Barrington,” the jury said. Federal Agent Silent. They recommended that Federal, State and other authorities *“make every possible effort to apprehend the men and the woman responsible for the shooting and bring them to trial for murder in Lake County, in which the shooting occurred.” G. C. Woltz, Federal agent from Chi- cago. was the only witness. Asked by !a juror if he wasn't “reasonably sure that Nelson was one of the Kkillers,” the | Government man replied: “I am not permitted to say any- thing.” Woltz testified that Cowley and Hollis were out on a “special secret mission for several days.” Cowley's body was held at a chapel here until arrangements are completed to send it to Salt Lake City for funeral services. Even as he lay dying it was disclosed by Department of Justice agents that | Cowley was the real leader in the | Federal drive that brought down the | notorius Dillinger, although Purvis had been generally credited with being | Dillinger’s nemesis. Cowley also com- | manded the Government’s manhunters Iin tracking down Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd in an Ohio cornfield last month, | Department of Justice agents dis- closed. Hollis was reported to have fired one of the bullets that killed Dillinger in front of a North Side movie the- ater last July. Thus Nelson, the Nation’s Public Enemy No. 1, took deadly vengeance for the slaying of Dillinger, but in so domng he signed his own death war- rant, for Federal agents carried on a relentless search for him, with orders to shoot first. Detectives Called in. In addition to all the power the Department of Justice could concen- trate in this area, half of the 200 detectives of the Chicago police force were called into the hunt for the baby-faced killer. For hours after the new outburst of warfare between the Government and the remnants of the Dillinger gang the police combed the “bad lands” of the city, striking here and there for a clue to the whereabouts of the pair, The second fugitive is believed in some quarters to have been John Hamilton, a lieutenant in the Dillinger mob. Two arrests were made by raiding squads of police and Federal agents. ! Chester Leader, a garage owner, and Lester Van Huston, operator of a tavern, both described by police as as- sociates of Nelson. were seized for questioning. Detective Bureau squads also searched the home of Nelson's mother and sister, but found no trace of him. Hunt Extends to Twin Cities. ‘The killers, who fought a running fight with the Federal agents as they sped along a highway, escaped in the automobile of the Federal officers (a dark blue 1934 sedan bearing an Illinois license). They had halted their old machine and pumped their deadly machine gun bullets at Hollis and Cowley when the two stepped from their car and advanced toward the gangsters with drawn guns.

I heard the tires of the first car screech as the driver swung sharply into a little side road about 200 feet past the sta- tion. “The second car swerved with it and managed to pull ahead just off the highway, blocking the way of the other car, which slid half into a ditch.

Referring to the killing by “Baby Face” Nelson of Inspector Samuel P. Cowley and Special Agent Herman Hollis as “another illustration of the ruthless challenge of the underworld with which our people are confront- ed,” Attorney General Cummings to- day ordered the concentration of Fed- eral law officers in a relentless hunt for the slayer of three Government men. Nelson already was wanted for the killing of Agent W. Carter Baum when he turned a machine gun on Cowley and Hollis in Chicago yester- day. J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Justice Department’s Division of In- vestigation, spent more than an hour in conference with Cummings and his assistant, William Stanley, today to map plans for the intensified drive to “get Nelson.” Clegg Takes Command. Director Hoover, meanwhile, had dispatched his assistant, Inspector Hugh H. Clegg. to take over com- mand of the hunt for the Dillinger gang machine gunner. Cowley was in command of the search when he met his death “I am grieved beyond words by the death of these brave men, Cowley and Hollis, who lost their lives in the courageous performance of their offi- cial duty.” Cummings said after his conference with Hoover. Cummings said that the situation with regard to the hunt for Nelson was in such & critical stage today that he could not discuss details of the events that led up to the fatal gun battle on the streets of a Chicago suburb. Telegraphs Widows. Cummings dispatched telegrams of condolence to the widows of both slain agents and to the father of Cowley in the West. Clegg is attached to headquarters of Hoover's division here, but, like Cow- ley, has spent much time in the field during the last year or so in command of special investigative squads. Clegg was Hoover's representative in New York during the investigation which led to the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann in connection with the Lindbergh kidnaping. When the department completed its work in the Lindbergh case, proceeded to Nashville, Tenn., to supervise investigation there of clues | which linked Thomas H. Robinson, jr.. to the kidnaping of Mrs. Berry V. Stoll | at Louisville, Ky. May Increase Reward. Clegg also played an important supervisory part in the hunt for John | Dillinger, “Pretty Boy” other notorious gangsters. ‘There was a possibility that Cum- mings would increase the amount of the Federal reward offered for the cap- ture or information leading to the capture of Nelson. Government is offering $5,000 for the capture of “Baby Face” and $2,500 for information leading to his cap- ture. This reward was announced following the killing of Special Agent Floyd and Baum at the Little Bohemia Inn in | Northern Wisconsin. At that time $10,000 was posted for the capture of Dillinger and $5,000 for information leading to his capture. Only $5.000, however, has been paid out of these rewards—$2.500 each to two East Chicago, Ind., police officers who gave information which put Dillinger “on the spot.” MAN WEDS STEPMOTHER MONTGOMERY, Ala, November 28 (#) —The marriage of an Alabama farmer to his stepmother last night had the approval of the State Court of Appeals, despite a law declaring “the son must not marry his mother or stepmother.” as the two men in the Federal car got out. Cars Used as Shields. “All four men were using automo- biles as shields at first. One of the agents (Cowley) fell over backwards into the ditch. The other darted across the road behind a telephone pole. He dropped a few minutes later.” Another witness, Robert Hayford of Barrington, a park employe, said that one of the gangsters, apparently Nelson's companion, was wounded in the leg, and was able to get on his feet only with great difficulty after the Federal agents had ceased firing.

CHICAGO, November 28.—Law en- forcing officials seeking “Baby Face” Nelson and his machine-gunner com- panion, for the slaying of Federal Agents Cowley and Hollis, today combed Chicago's Northwest Side, where Dillinger himself hid out for weeks. T aloons, gaming establishments and other resorts thickly dot the section, which has been the favorite stamping ground of many of the Nation's arch- criminals. Its polyglot population and honey- combed warrens of the underworld enabled Dillinger to venture out in public dozens of times, despite the fact that special police squads and Federal agents searched throughout the district. But in the same envi- rons the Indiana desperado finally met his fate, though he had once escaped a rald on a North Side hotel. Scene of Capone War.
