DESPERATE GANG LEADER
MURDEROUS U.S.A. ROBBERS DRAMATIC ARREST IN STREET. POSE AS RICH VISITORS FAILS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright New York, Jan. 26. John Dallinger, a desperate gang leader who is sought on charges of robbing a dozen banks and slaying three police officers, was captured at Tuscon (Arizona) on Thursday night after a policeman had recognised his photograph. Three other members of his band were also captured. Dallinger with three members of his gang posed in Tuscon for three days as wealthy New Yorkers in a fashionable dwelling. The police obtained a clue through photographs of his confederates, Makley and Clerk, in a detective magazine. These two were arrested earlier in the day in a nearby house. When Dallinger emerged from his motor-car with women and glanced up and down, the police appeared. Dallinger, holding a machine-gun under his coat, wheeled suddenly, but was ordered to drop it or die, and he surrendered. He had 9000 dollars in his pockets.
