John Dillinger

Tucson, Thursday, January 25, 1934 --

The arrest of Harry Pierpont.

After hearing about the arrest of someone who was at the Hotel Congress, you start to put two and two together. "Maybe, those Tucson cops are doing something about the Dillinger gang. I wasn't sure that they believed me when I said I saw them around town."

"I better head over to the station so they won't forget that I get some of the reward money."

As you walk into the station, police are counting a huge stack of money that they recovered from the manacled suspect standing at the intake desk.

"$3116.20 in cash, Captain. That's not counting the $6600 we got from the other two."

"Excellent work, Nolan. How did you find Pierpont?"

"Well, Sir, when we were fingerprinting Clark and Makley, I noticed that their luggage looked familiar. Then I remembered seing a set just like this in a car at the tourist court on South 6th. That car had Florida license plates, too, just like Clark's and Makley's cars. That's too much of a coincidence to not check out, so I got Eyman, Smith, and Mullaney, and we drove down to the auto court. Just as we arrived the car in question was leaving, so we pulled it over and asked him to come to the staion to check his auto registration. Eyman went with him, and we followed right behind. Once here, he knew we knew who he was, he tried to pull a gun, but Eyman was ready for him and already had his gun drawn."

"Good work. Now we have to get Dillinger himeself."

With that exchange, it was apparent that the Tucson police had listened, and that they were hauling in the gang one by one, in such a way as to not arouse the suspicion of those remaining at large ....

Thanks to overLIB for the popups.
