Vernon's death was dtrc to shock from fright and to his hiving gone swimming too soon after eating, rather than to drowning, Dr.

J. C. Spence, Milford, Ohio, said. With his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs.

William Jesse Adcock, and his two younger brothers, Arthur, 6, and William 11, Vernon was a member of a family picnic on the Fork, juat below the mouth of the little Miami River, at the foot of Roundbottnm Road. Witnesses said Mr. Adcock had turned his attention to Vcrnon'3 younger brothers for a few seconds, leaving Vernon alone in shallow water. Vernon made a break away from the shore. He disappeared in 10 feet of water.

Edward Delaney, Negro cook, 1052 Rittenhouse Street, who was fishing near the swimmers, came to their help. Twenty minutes later he recovered the body. Hamilton County Deputies, Dr. Spence and the Boy Scout Life Saving Squad from Camp Edgar Fried-lander, Miamiville, soon responded. Under direction of Arthur E.

Roberts, Scout Executive, the squad emptied Vernon's lungs in less than five minutes. Continued artificial respiration, administered for more than an hour, however failed to re vive him.

(BY ASSOCIATED PRKKSi John L. Dillinger, an obscure con vict wllh no claim to notoriety, was paroled from Indiana Penitentiary in June. Dillinger- had been a "good boy" until the attempted robbery, for which he received a 10-to-21year sentence, friends and officials told the State Clemency Board They said he was needed at home "to help care for his aged father." Governor Paul V. McNutt granted the parole and young Dillinger went free. Six months later, the "good boy" had become the most-hunted desperado in the country.

Blood of several men, including a number of police officers, splotched the trail of crime blazed by the Dillinger gang through Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. The gang killed, robbed banks, freed their members from prison and jail and raided police stations to obtain firearms. Finally Dillinger and three others were captured at Tucson, Ariz. He was returned to Indiana in irons and placed In Lake County Jail. He didn't stay long.

With a wooden "gun' he made a sensational escape and joined up, so officers said, with another band of outlaws. Fourteen killing are charged against the activities of Dillinger and his paK either by thi gang ilrelf or in connection with the hunt, for the desperado. The most recnt were of a.
