AMERICAN BANK RAIDED
JOHN DILLINGER AGAIN. Chicago, May 10. Fingerprints left on a drawer show that John Dillinger was the leader of the gang that raided the First National Bank at Fostoria (Ohio). “There won’t be any shooting as long as you do what you’re told,” said the leader to six employees, before scooping up 17,000 dolThen the chief of police, Frank Culp, walked in and received a spray of machine-gun bullets in the abdomen. He is not expected to live. Going out through a side door, the bandits forced two girls on the bank’s staff to go ahead of them. Police were waiting outside, but they could not shoot till the girls were let go, and then scores of shots were exchanged, but without apparent effect. Hundreds of police were mobilised by radio to blockade the roads, but Dillinger escaped.
