"WOMAN IN RED" RETURNS HOME Betrayed Dillinger: Says American Police "Double-Crossed" Her

WEEPS AS THEY SEND

HER BACK TO RUMANIA

MRS. ANNA SAGE, the

"Woman in Red" who be- trayed Jack Dillinger, ex-public | enemy No. 1, to Federal police | in Chicago and decoyed him to his death before their guns out- side a cinema, reached Queens- town, Ireland, last month in the liner President Harding.

She was on her way to her native Rumanía under a de- portation order,

Mrs. Sage claimed bitterly that she has been "double-crossed" by the police..

She sald: All I wanted for my part in the Dillinger affair; was that a deportation order against me should not Тода executed. The men who wanted Dillinger so bad said they'd take care of my case."

She received about £1,000. But she still has to 10 buck to

Rumania, which she left for America when she was age: seven- teen.

She is now forty-four years åk. dark-complexioned, with a broad, almost colourless face, in which Jet black eyes shine bitterly, nud then with tears as she talks of "double-crossing" by the police.

In a queer mixture of Chicago American and Rumaning accents Mrs. Sage told in abrupt, staccato sentences how she bargained Dillinger's freedom for her own.

"I never saw. Dillinger until teni days or so before they got him," shej saya, "It was 05 accident that brought me in touch with him. Polly | Hamilton, who used to work at my hotel, was broke, and I let her stay. Rometimes in my apartment. She brought in Dillinger. He called him-i self Jimmy Lawrence.

"I did not know who he was until one day when he was reading a Polly he showed her a paper picture, and sald: "They've put me somewhere else to-day? 'aw it was Dillinger's picture. I told Polly! to get Jimmy out of the house, She didn't know who he was, and didn't turn him out. I became seared and went to Zarkovitch."

Sergeant Martin Zarkovitch, of the East Chicago police, enlled in Melvin ~Purvis;-hend-gf-Lire-Department--ef

Justice agents in Chicago.

Says Mrs. Suge:

tok Mr. Purvis I would gnat un my hat if we were going any distaner on the following Sunday, and would be barcheufed if we went to the Bio- graph cinema. As we were leaving

the apartment that Sunday I asked Jimmy if we were going dar. I said I wanted to put on my hat if, we were,

"He said we would go to the Bio-" graph. One of Purris's men Baw I had no hat. That let him know where we were going.**

After the pictures, when Dillinger and in two women companions had walked about forty feet, some one slipped up behind him and put a bullet through the killer's brain.

WHY FILM STARS

ADOPT

BABIES

Motherhood Means Loss Of Salaries

Norma Shearer's £80,000 Sacrifice

Hollywood, May 28.

A CANVASS of homes of leading actresses here has

disclosed that film stars who yearn for motherhood but feel they cannot afford it are acquiring adopted babies with increasing frequency.

There is near Chicago a clearing house for motherhood-a scientifically conducted establishment which selects perfect babies from those brought to it by mothers unable to support them and delivers them into the custody of film stars.

Altogether this institution has found homes for 3,000 babies in the past few years.

Liberty-a well-known American periodical—gives an in- teresting list of the more prominent actresses who have acquired babies in this fashion. It points out that the inordinate cost of motherhood for Hollywood stars is responsible for this growing practice.

12 Would-Be Brides

Also actresses often find, after a year's absence from the screen caused by motherhood, that their public has left them. Helen Twelvetrees, for instance, esti- mates that she sacrificed some- thing like £40,000 for privilege of having her Jack. The initial cost was a year's salary, amounting to £26,- 000. To this had to be added the fact that she lost the leading part in "A Bill of Divorcement," which went to Miss Katharine Hepburn. Miss Norma Shearer sacrificed an even larger sum for her son, Irving Thalberg, and her daughter, Katherine. Shely all septuagenarians and all took two maternity leaves from the screen, each year losing £80,000 in salary.

Warned by these losses, Mis Miriam Hopkina visited the famous clearing house and found her littlo Michael, a handsome bland boy, who looks just like her.

A BROTHER FOR HER

A star who imitated Miss Hopkins's example was Miss Gracie Ailen, wife of Mr. George Burns, who took from the institution little Sandra, and then, anxious test Sandra as the only child might grow up to be selfish, asked the institution for a brother for her.
