(PA) dated Mar 16, 1934.
This newspaper contains prominent front page "stacked" headings and a long report of the
fatal wounding of HERBERT YOUNGBLOOD, an African-American inmate who escaped from  the Crown Point Jail (INDIANA) with gangster JOHN DILLINGER
on March 3, 1934. This day's report is of the wounding of Youngblood, who would die the next day from his wounds.
Herbert Youngblood, the Gary (IN) African-American who was in the county jail on a charge of murder, and who made his escape with John Dillinger, was killed in Port Huron, Michigan, in a gun battle with three officers of that city. Youngblood was mortally wounded in the battle and died a short time after arriving at the hospital. Deputy Sheriff Charles Cavanaugh was mortally wounded in the battle and died a few hours later. Another officer has met his death on account of the Dillinger gang being at large.
Before he died, Youngblood told the officers that Dillinger was in the neighborhood of Port Huron and immediately officers began a search for the escaped man, but no trace of him was found. It is said that later Youngblood retracted the story and said he did not know where Dillinger was at that time as he had parted with him soon after their escape from the Crown Point jail. It is reported that Dillinger had been seen in Toronto, Canada. It was also reported that he, in company with another man, was arranging for passage on an airplane to try and get out of the country.
