Officers Capture One Of Gang Leader's Pals In Raid Carried On With Great Secrecy
(By Associated Press)
ST. PAUL, April 4.—Federal guns, blazing a leaden retort to gang defiance, had cut close today to the trail of the arch fugitive, John Dillinger, and reddened it with the blood of one of his gun-toting pals.
In a swift descent late last night upon a hideout place, officers critically wounded and captured Eugene Green, veteran of midwestern crime.
A woman was arrested with him and officers guarded her identity carefully. It was said she closely resembled Evelyn Frechette, girl friend of Dillinger.
Green admitted he was one of the three persons who shot their way out of a police trap Saturday. Dillinger himself is understood to have been one of the others, and the third was presumed to have been the Frechette woman. Green is under a heavy guard at a hospital.
Federal men and police conducted last night's raid with great secrecy, and declined to lift the veil today.
