THREE AIDES REMAIN Father and Sister of Bandit Are Calm on - Hearing News. e e WASHINGTON —(®#)— J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the department of justice investigation bureau, said today that two women reported to have accompanied John Dillinger to the Chicago movie last night and to have escaped during the fatal shooting later, would be the object of a renewed federal hunt. Hoover did not go into detail about the women. Firgt reports had it that Dillinger wentto the thea ter and emerged alone to face the cordon of 15 justice agents armed with pistols. Talking with newspapermen in his office today, the chief investi gator said he also had ordered a concentration of federal forces in the hunt for John Hamilton, Homer Van Meter and Lester Gil lis, alias George ‘“Baby Face” Nel son, three of Dillinger's chief aides. OFFICIALS HAPPY WASHINGTON —(#)— The gov ernment today hailed John Dillin ber's end as one of the most smashing blows ever delivered at crime in the United States. It wvowed that the manhunt would never cease until it punishes all members of the' Dillinger mob and “anyone who ever. gave them any aid, comfort or assistance.” Attorhey General Cummings, told of the Kkilling of the desperado, said: / “The news is exceedingly grati fying as well as reassuring.” It appeared likely that no one would receive the 810,000 reward that the federal government, striv ing to wipe out organized crime, had offeied for Dillinger's capture Department of justice agents, who predominated in the law force that waited outside a Chicago ‘movie theater and shot the desper ado down as he emerged, are not permitted to accept rewards. i The government, however, offer od $5.000 for information leading }to the apprehension of Dillinger. }lt remained to be seen whether the woman who gave the tip that Dil linger was to attend the movies would be eligible for this reward. Neither offer stipulated that Dil {linger be ‘taken alive. 3 AIDES LEFT ST.
