Leach had the homes of Dillinger's father and sister, Aud- sible. She said she'd been sick. Dillinger came to see Mary the following Sunday but he was not caught. That same week, the Pinkertons discovered Mary's iast name and her present ad- Hnger still didn't have enough money for the payoffs. Just before noon, Sept.

By chance he had hit on a payroll day and thus committed the second most ccssful bank robbery i sue- Indiana. He had enough to put the prison break plan into operation.

On the night of Sept. 12 the latter drove to Michigan City and crept up to the prison wall just behind the athletic field; he threw three guns, wrapped in cotton and newspapers, over the 30- foot-high barrier. The gang was supposed to pick them up early the day on the way to work.

But before Pierpont could reach the athletic field an inmate found the packages and turned them over to the deputy warden.

She told them its subject was a friend of Mary Longnaker who wrote Mary quite regularly: She promised to call the detectives as soon as the next letter arrived.

A few days later the landlady telephoned--a letter had come. When the two detectives opened jt and read, "I'll be seeing you soon," they moved into the room 'opposite the one reserved for Dillinger. But Dillinger was too busy at time robbing banks to visit involved in the bank robbery that sent Picrpont to prison, he had not revealed her name at the trial and now she owed him something. The other aide, Mary Kinder, was 22. She had agreed to help with the mass break-out provided her brother, Earl (Pierpont's partner in the Kokomo robbery), was added to the list of escapees.

Dillinger assigned Mary the job of finding a hideout apartment in Indianapolis. Pearl was detailed as a general go-between and to pass money to a confederate in a position to bribe guards at the prison. Dil- in Ihe Farm Service Co.

They told the landlady to call police headquarters if Dillinger ever re- and went away. A little after midnight the landlady called. "He's here," the woman told them excitedly.

Within minutes, the two detectives silently walked up the heavily carpeted steps. Gross carried a machine gun, Pfauhl a shotgun. They told the landlady to knock on Mary's door. When the door was opened in answer to the knock, the detectives saw a man in a business suit standing in the middle of the floor looking at snapshots.

This is $44.4 million less than the administration requested. The reduction actually was deeper, for included in the authorization was $363.7 million for construction of two additional RS70 planes--money the administration didn't ask and probably won't spend. All told, Congress denied some $408 million of the military procurement the Pentagon originally proposed. The authorization, which the House completed final legislative action on Tuesday, only sets ceilings. The subsequent appropriation may trim the spending further.

(AP)-An old Navy veteran, the submarine Toro, was enroute Wednesday to its final mission which Navy officials hope will lead them to the ocean grave of the nuclear attack submarine Thresher. The Toro, a member of the Navy's exclusive "Ten Grander" club, composed of submarines which have made 10,000 or more dives, was towed from the Philadelphia shipyard Tuesday and due at Boston Thursday. Early next week, if' the Thresher has not yet been located, the Navy plans to sink the Toro in the same spot where the Thresher is believed to have gone down.
