AGENTS ORDERED 10 SHOW NELSON WIDOW NO MERCY Woman Believed to Have Aided Slaying of Federals in Gang Escape. | MAY GET HAMILTON THROUGH HER CAPTURE Morgue Closely Watched as Hun- dreds View Body—Cowley Rites in Utah Sunday. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 30.—Find the woman and show her no quarter! This was the stern order Federal Rgents were under today as they hunt- ed Mrs. Helen Gillis, 94-pound syn- thetic blond widow of George (Baby Face) Nelson, leader of the rapidly diminishing remnants ot the gang of | the late John Dillinger. Through her capture Federal as well as State, county and city police hoped to bring to justice John Ham- ilton, believed to have been with Nel- son’s widow when Nelson was fatally wounded late Tuesday in a machine gun battle at Barrington in which In- spector Samuel P. Cowley and Special Agent Herman Hollis perished in the Government's drive against the Na- tion's public enemies. Mysterious Phone Call. There was a growing belief among officials that it was she who was re- sponsible for a mysterious telephone call received by Philip Sadowski, an undertaker, which led Federal officers to the discovery of Nelson's body, bad- 1y punctured by bullets, in a ditch near suburban Niles Center. ¥ Uniess she was at her husband’s side when he and his companion pumped machine gun bullets at the two Federal officers, she would not have known that Nelson was dead, the officers said. Sadowski is Mrs. Gillis’ family undertaker Mrs. Gillis was the former Helen ‘Wawrzyniak. She is 21 years old and is the mother of two children, Arlene, 4, who is at the home of Nelson's mother, Mrs. Mary Gillis, in Chicago, and Ronaid, 5, reported living with one of Nelson's sisters in Bremerton, Wash. The hunted woman formerly had brown hair, but is understood to have bleached it in an attempt to dis- guise herself. Morgue Closely Watched. Government agents stood guard at the county morgue, where Nelson’s body lay on the same slab that held the body of John Dillinger. They hoped they might be able to seize the woman there, believing she might try to enter the mortuary for one last glimpse of the slain Nelson, but no trace of her was found. Meanwhile, the search for Hamilton went on unabated. Inspector H. H. Clegg. who flew here from Washing- ton fo aid in the investigation of the slayings, said the talk of Hamilton being dead was “unfounded rumor.” “We are searching for him.” he said, “and will continue to do so until we have absolute evidence that he is dead.” Thought Slaying Aid. Meanwhile the Federal agents in- dicated they believed that Mrs. Nel- son. unofficially named as the coun- try’'s first woman public enemy, crouched near the killers of the two Federal officers and reloaded their guns during the firing of the battle of Barrington. The encounter that ended fatally for Cowley, Hollis and Nelson was motivated by a tip from E. P. Gui- name, chief of the California staff of the Division of Investigation, it was reported. Guinane was quoted as saying he expected to ask indictments for a dozen or more persons charged with harboring the gangster in the West. That the man with Nelson in the Barrington affray was John Chase of San Francisco was the opinion of one Federal agent. The statements of Guinane gave weight to the theory. While the search for the gangster's widow and accomplice went on, Mrs. Cowley prepared to leave for Salt Lake City. where the slain Federal agent will be given a civic funeral Sunday in the assembly hall of the Latter-day Saints Temple Square. She will ar- rive Saturday. Says Cowley Lived Work. Mrs. Cowley said her husband lived his work. That he died his work, too, was apparent in her shadowed eyes, as she sat with Sam, jr., 8 months old, and John Foss Cowley, 3': years, while she granted her first interview since her gallant husband went grimly to his death. Hard-eyed Federal agents stood about her hotel apartment, bulwarks ainst visitors; relatives hovered in , Column 2) ~ (Continued on Page TAX CASE MAY JAIL SCHULTZ FOR LIFE Twelve Counts Contained in Se- cret U.

He was held under $100,000 bond for # hearing December 12 on charges that he failed to pay income taxes on profits, allegedly gained from illegal beer traffic. Seymour M. Klein, assistant dis- trict attorney, told United States Commissioner Lester T. Hubbard yes- terday that if Schultz were convicted “he probably would be sent to jail for the rest of his natural life.” Klein explained that there are 12 counts in the indictment, and if he were convicted under all of them sen- tences could exceed his life expec- tancy. Schultz was arraigned first on a fugitive warrant. That charge was dismissed yesterday and Schultz was promptly arrested on an indictment seturned secretly two years ago.

This action was decided upon the basis of an opinion by Attorney Gen- eral Cummings, sought as a last re- sort by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau in an effort to hold in- tact his investigative force, which is charged with the important duty of enforcing the liquor laws.

Will Stay on Job. It is confidently expected that the men will stay on the job, though they will have to work without pay for more than a month at the min- imum. It is also believed the neces- sary funds will be forthcoming from Congress. Numerous members have informed the Civil Service Commis- sion that, in approving an appropri- ation rider cutting off pay from unit employes coming over from Justice, until they had passed a competitive civil service examination. they thought mistakenly they were proceeding against political employes “blanketed” under civil service instead of a class that had obtained jobs by an earlier competitive test and character inquiry. In ruling that while this rider cut off pay. it was not self-executing. and thus did not require the dismissal of the employes. the Attorney General sided with the arguments advanced at an injunction hearing earlier this week by Gen.

Ga. November 30.—President Roosevelt today turned his attention to his housing program, which has for its objective better homes for persons with small incomes. He conferred this forenoon with James A. Moffett, Federal housing administrator. The point has been reached in mod- ernizing and repair loan program where the President wants to expand the Government's help. It does not now go far encugh, in the opinion of Mr. Roosevelt, who is determined that the standards of living in this country shall be improved. Therefore he is working cut a plan which will call for Government construction of small hcmes for those who cannot obtain loans—those who cannot obtain credit from private sources.

C., under 5 inches of rain, and bianketed the Middle West under snow, which reached a depth of 12 inches at Springfield, Mo., and will keep the local weather un- settled for at least 24 hours longer. During the past week, rainfall here has amounted to an inch and a half, most of which has fallen dur- ing the past 24 hours. This brought precipitation to 3.2 inches, which is .83 inch above normal for the month. The unusual warmth and rain is due to a great mass of warm air from the Gulf of Mexico. Temperatures have continued ab- normally high, averaging 17 degrees \ above normal Wednesday and 14 above normal yesterday. The lowest tem- perature during the past 24 hours was 59 degrees, at 2 o'clock this morning. By midmorning the tem- perature was up to 64 degrees and | was still ~limbing.

Until today's development the Treasury faced the prospect of pro- ceeding for some time with a short- ened force, despite the fact that fllicit operations might be expected to be on the rise at this time of the year be- cause of the holiday trade. Some 700-odd men had been re- appointed, effective tomorrow, but hardly more than half of these were experienced. These were the hold- overs who passed the second test, and the rest of the force is made up of new appointees, whose selection, it has been pointed out, was of neces- sity slow because of the necessary character inquiry.

Happy Father Seeks Motorist, Hurt While Shielding Child Swerving his car into the path of & speeding automobile to save the life of a 4-year-old girl early Tuesday, Conrad F. Stier, jr, whose car was demolished in the accident, today was being sought by the father of Gloria Gregs of Culpeper, Va., who wants to thank him for the heroic deed. Mr. and Mrs. L. K. Gregs, in com- pany with their little daughter, about 6 o'clock Tuesday morning were driving toward the District from their home. They stopped near a side road on the Lee Highway to repair a tire. Gloria, her father says, wandered into a fleld across the road. A small sedan drew up behind them and the driver, described as being a young man driving a car with District tags, asked if he could help. He had remained in the car with the motor running. Suddenly a heavy sedan, going at a high rate of speed, came out of the side road as the little girl started to cross the highway. Stier saw the car proaching automobile, which crashed into him with terrific force, turning his car over twice. The little girl then ran to her parents. Before they could get his name and address passing motorists picked up Stier and took him toward the Dis- trict. The extent of his injuries was not learned. Stier, who lives at 1105 Thirteenth street, was not at home today. “We didn’t see the car coming,” the parents remarked. “We heard the young man quickly jerk his car around us then all of a sudden we heard a loud crash and saw the two cars piled up. We didn't even get the other driver's name.” “What became of the other driver?” they were asked. “We don’t know. We were so hap- py to have little Gloria with us we forgot to look,” the father answered. | | | happy struction plan as advanced by Ickes. Happy on Holiday. The President turned to his busi- ness problems today with a light heart and gay spirits, having enjoyed yes- terday one of his happiest Thanksgiv- ing days. In the afternoon he at- tended the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Warm Springs Foundation. Later he participated in dedicatory exercises for the new units to the main building of the founda- tion and in the evening spent three hours at the Thanksgiving dinne;. The big dining room was packed with paralysis patients, mostly chil- dren, and each one seemed as gay and happy as their “pal” and “hero” at the head table—President Roose- velt.

Of course, there were other turkeys for the vari- ous tables, but the one at the head table was the largest. During the meal, there was singing of familiar songs in which every one joined. Stereoptican views dealing with his- tory of Warm Springs were shown. The festivities were brought to a close with an informal talk by the President.
