Woman In Red Tells-
How I Betrayed Dillinger
TUESDAY, MAY

New York, May 10.
ANNA SAGE, "the
Woman in Red," who betrayed John Dillinger, America's former Public Enemy No. 1, to the bullets of the police on July 22, 1934, told her story for the first time to-day.
She told it in the hope of avoiding deportation to her native Rumania.
"I first met Dillinger ten days before his death," she said, "He was introduced as “Jimmy Law- rence," "
"I discovered who Jimmy Low- rence was one day when he was reading newspaper,, and showed Polly Hamilton, a friend of mine, a [picture saying, "They've put me somewhere else to-day. I looked at the pleture, und saw it was Dlillager.
