IRIS LAID TO REST ATOLDHOME Minister Makes No Mention Of Killer In Sermon At Services 'MAYWOOD, IncL, July 26 John Dillinger was laid to rest un- feet of ground here yesterday following funeral services held ai the home of Mrs. Audrey Hancock, the sister who reared him after the death of their mother. To prevent the morbidly curious Irom violating the resting place of the Indiana outlaw, a police sergeant and two patrolmen kept vigil over the mound of freshly disturbed soil. TJiere was some shiftiness about in death.

When his body, was brought back home to Indiana last evening from Chicago. where he fell Sunday drilled by the "bullets of officers who finally had tracked him down, it was an- nounced that hig funeral; would be held Thursday. Instead, the family gathered today for the services, hoping to avoid of morbidly curious persons. The trick deceived some, but nevertheless there was a throng around the little bungalow home of Mrs. Hancock when the services began shortly after 2 o'clock.

The Rev. Charles Fillmore, retired minister of the Disciples of Christ Church, preached the funeral sermon. In it there was no mention the one for whom the obsequies were held. The pastor's text was, "Have Faith In God." "Many people think the Dillinger's have not had faith in God," said the preacher. "I glory that this whole family has had faith in God.

"Our God is a God of love. He's a forgiving God. That's the kind of God He is a God of mercy so necessary In these days of vindictiveness and hatred."

The aiain gangster's 70-year-old father, John Dillinger, coatless, sat through the services displaying little emotion. But the sister, as the casket was closed, faint- she was revived. A police detachment sent from Indianapolis held the crowd well in cheek until the" casket was carried from the home. Then the throng surged forward.

Moving picture and newspaper cameramen, attempting to take views of the funeral cortege, aroused- the crowd's animosity. There was a quick skirmish in which some cameras were broken and some heads cracked. Then police again gained command of the situation. By a circuitous route the hearse and the funeral procession went to the cemetery in Indianapolis. There an entrance was made through a gate seldom used and a crowd of several thousand waiting outside the main entrance missed seeing the cortege.

In the crowd about the Hancock home was Mary Kinder, of Indianapolis, sweetheart of Harry Pierpont, one of He Dillinger gangsters under sentence to die for killing Sheriff Jess Sarber in the liberation of Dillinger from the Lima, 0-, jail. She wept as they took the body away. "Just think, I've got to go through with this twice more," she said. Charles Makley," still another Dillinger gangster, Is to be electrocuted with Pierpont. Some persons said they also recognized in the crowd Pierpont's mother, but If she was there she remained unobtrusive.

As the gangster was taken, to his grave a storm broke. Lightning flashed, thunder rolled and rain poured down In torrents. The voice of the clergyman was lost in the storm as he said the few final words committing the body to the earth. The elderly father had waited until cemetery employes lowered on to the coffin a heavy concrete slab and shoveled in on top of it the earth to fill the grave. Then he turned homeward to his farm near Mooresville, the nome which his son left to become internaiton- ally infamous as a bank bandit, killer and jail He told friends that he faced a problem in defraying the expenses of his son's funeral.

There was some talk among his neighbors, who hold the elderly-man In high respect, of a purse and presenting it to him. A police guard stood watch over Dillinger's grave tonight. Cemetery, officials said It will" be maintained day; and nl-glit Indefinitely. Fear of grave robbers and morbid souvenir hunters caused the precautions to be taken. Even at the grave today, a few persons who had filtered through the police cordon seized flowers, ribbons and rocks as mementos of the burial of America's most notorious modern outlaw.
