ARREST INDICATES ROBBERY SOLUTION Seizure of Dillinger Aide May Give Clue to $427,000 Truck Hold-Up. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 17.—Solution of the $427,000 armored truck robbery in Brooklyn last August was predicted | ~ today by Chief Postal Inspector Walter Johnson as a result of the arrest of Joseph Burns, Dillinger gangster. Burns, 58, one of 10 convicts who fought their way out of the Michigan City, Ind., penitentiary with guns smuggled them by John Dillinger, probably will be turned over to Indiana officers soon. Officers resumed questioning Burns after an all-night grilling for infor- mation about John Hamilton and Jos- eph Fox, the others of the 10 still at large. i Held Incommunicado. Burns, who was captured in a flat by 30 Federal officers and Chicago po- licemen, was held incommunicado. Postal Inspector Johnson said: ““We are quite certain that Burns is one of those connected with the Brook- lyn_job. “Eastern postal officers and Brooklyn policemen are both on their way to Chicago.” The Brooklyn robbery netted the largest cash haul of any hold-up in American criminal history. | Dozen Participated. A dozen gunmen took part in it, but none had been apprehended, unless Burns was a participant. The inspector’s statement indicated | that whatever had been learned to connect Burns with the $427,000 rob- bery was obtained from Burns. Only one bit of circumstantial evidence was found in the Burns flat. : L4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHING:’I‘ON, D.

Later incfeased to 12 and then slowed down to eight. Dr. H. P. Pettit, her physician, has broadcast an appeal for a nurse who will care for his patient. Her life is not in danger, Dr. Pettit said, unless the yawning is a prelude to some more serious disease. That was a set of fgures, worked Johnson said probably Burns would be surrendered to them.. He was sen- tenced for life in 1921 for murder. Faces Rest of Sentence. The rest of his sentence awaits Burns at the Michigan City Peni- tentiary. Assistant Attorney General J. Edward Barce of Indiana is seek- ing his return to prison. Even if Burns were tried for the Brooklyn “job,” said Inspector John- son, Indiana would have first claim on his time. Burns, one of the last of the late desperado’s followers was ar- | rested as he drank beer in his South- side flat with a woman yesterday, and police sought to wrest from him the secrets of two remaining members of the band—John Hamilton and Joseph Fox. Reports were that authorities ob- tained some information from Burns during an all-day questioning. He is in Federal custody. Kept Him Under Surveillance. Deputy Attorney General Edward Barce of Indiana and Supervising Capt. John Stege knew where Burns was living, but merely kept him under out on the back of an old .magazine, in | surveillance several days before ar- which Burns had divided $462.000 by | resting him. 12.
