Chicago, Ill., July 24 - John Dillinger died with only $7.70 in his pockets. And that is regarded as the reason why he died on Sunday night when federal agents trapped him as he left the Biograph theater at 2433 Lincoln Avenue. Alive, he was no longer able to pay the inevitable, merciless toll which the underworld exacts from the fugitives it protects. Dead, he was worth $15,000 in rewards. Who is to get the $15,000 was a secret closely guarded yesterday by Melvin H. Purvis, chief of the band of United States Department of Justice agents who had made the capture of Dillinger their task for the last year.
