Finds Jail Deputy at Crown 'Point Not Guilty of Charges. COMEDY OF ERRORS Crown Point, May Blank, one of two men accused of aiding John Dillinger to escape from the Crown Point jail, -was acquitted Judge Maurice rites, who heard the trial without a jury, decided the state's evidence was insufficient to support the charge that Blunk, fingerprint expert at the Jail, willfully and feloniously aided Dillinger to escape. a trusty who had the job of jail turnkey, was the man indicted jointly with Blunk. His trial date has not been set. Judge Crites in a brief statement made as he discharged the defendant said the charge against Blunk implied that in assisting Dillinger the fingerprint expert acted as a free agent.

The judge added that he considered the evidence introduced by the state was not enough to show that Blunk acted on his own accord in aiding Dillinger. desperado's escape "a comedy of errors," Judge Crites said it would be inappropriate for him to comment on the matter of responsibility for the bank bandit's escape. -tented -Wul' av i tf Indianapolis, May or khe strikes Was" tied 'last night as -walkouts 'cow- tinned in other. branches to cut down production of automobiles, shoes, cool, oil and eren bread. in Galveston, M.
