Dillinger Hunt Spurs Chicago Police Mass Tactic
An army of plainclothes officers crowded Chicago’s North Side in a massive manhunt for John Dillinger after tips he planned to rob the Builders Bank. Deputies traced an Indiana sheriff’s car, found with incompatible license plates, and a woman agent who met Dillinger at least three times was believed to have hidden him. Police said the hunt, directed by Capt. John Stege, aimed to seize the desperado and his gang as reports tied Dillinger to Crown Point jail breaks and prior killings.
