(I. N. Here is an inside story of the killing of John Dillinger. The tip that the outlaw was in Chicago and planned to attend the Biograph Theater last night was gien to Melvin H. Purvis through the police of East Chicago.

who had pledged themselves to avenge the deaths of three of their fellow-officers at Dillinger's hands. The East Chicaco "Dillinger squad" of five picked men was in Purvis' office in the Bankers' Building at yesterday afternoon. They had been hunting Dillinger nirht and day ever since May 24. when Officers Martin O'Brien and Lloyd Mulnhill of the East Chicago force were found shot to death in an automobile at the edge of the town. The two policemen had identified Dillinger as the actual slayer of Officer William P.

January 29 when he stopped off at the Municipal Air- port while being taken to Crown Point from Arizona, where he was captured.

He later broke out of the Indiana jail after intimidat- ing a guard with a wooden pistol. The other time he was here was during the week of January 14 when he boldly appeared at the automobile show with a woman friend and a dog and purchased a new de luxe sedan, paying $300 for it and trad- ing in his old car. At the time Dillinger purchased the car he was being hunted several states. It was not learned he had teen here until after his cap-turt in Arizona.

As Dillinger emerged, walking near him were two youngish women, one of them wearing a red dress. were leaving the house th? time and almost anv number women would naturallv have near him. But the one That. Dillinger suspected nothing is proved by nothing as much as that the safety catch on his maga-' zine gun was set.

It was a new, high-type weapon, so powerful thot its slugs would penetrate the bulletproof vests of the sort that Dillinger himself had worn in other spots. The number had been filed off. Close examination indicated it h.6 never been firea. It was fully loaded and a clip of extra cartridges was in a pocket. He had no other passible instrument of offense or defense, except a slender penknife on a thin chain that held his watch.
