Chicago, Nov. 20 (AP)—A caravan of heavily armed Chicago and Indiana State Police made its way out of the city early today bearing Harry Copeland, 33 wanted for murder in Ohio, and bank robbery in Indiana, back to the Hoosier State prison at Michigan City.
Copeland, identified by witnesses as one of the desperadoes who murdered John Dillinger, paroled Indiana convict from the jail at Lima, Ohio, last October 12, after killing Sheriff Jeff Sarber, was arrested last night as he brandished a revolver after an automobile accident. It was less than a week ago that Dillinger shot his way out of a carefully laid police trap and for several hours after Copeland's arrest last night police kept it a secret in the hope that he would give them information that would lead to Dillinger.
