CHICAGO, Oct. 1 (/PI — Melvin
Purvis, former chief of the depart-
ment of justice in Chicago, admitted
in a statement Monday that Mrs.
Anna Sage, the “woman in red” fur-
nished the information which led to
the killing of John Dlllinger.
Purvis denied he had promised
Mrs. Sage he would obtain immuni-
ty from deportation for her in re-
turn for putting the desperado on
the spot. He said, however, that he
had promised to bring the matter to
the attention of “appropriate offi-
cials” in Washington and would
recommend that some step be taken
to prevent her deportation if pos-
sible.
“Certainly the service which she
performed for the government, and
for that matter, for the people of
this country, in ridding the coun-
try of this menace should not be
belittled,” he said.
“She did furnish the information
which led to Dillinger’s capture and
I for one am not ungrateful and I
sincerely believe that some step
should be taken, whatever that step
might necessarily be, to prevent her
deportation.
“She desires to remain in the
United States and as a part of her
reward, I believe she should be al-
lowed to do so.”
Mrs. Sage has been ordered de-
ported to Rumania as a result of
two convictions on charges of oper-
ating disorderly houses. A hearing
on a habeas corpus petition to pre-
vent her deportation has been set
for next Thursday.
Purvis personally passed out the
typewritten statement in the press
room of the federal building. He de-
clined to disclose to whom he made
the recommendation against the de-
portation.

lower prices.
