A town on the gang's own road usually keeps a Dillinger story; this one, in every carrier reached, does not. The lore test was run the way the build runs its folklore tests: the telling-stock for this ground was searched in its ordinary forms, and what surfaced was record, not lore — the Pierpont funeral and White City Inn facts of the crime article, sourced to the Historical Bureau's essay, with no embellished retelling, no "Dillinger slept here," no hidden-money or buried-loot telling, and no souvenir object (no car, gun, chair or room shown for a fee) attached to Lakeville, Indiana in any carrier reached. The near-name hazards were kept out by the build's standing discipline: Dillinger material for other Indiana towns, and gang lore for other Lakevilles, is not imported. The distinction the checklist demands is therefore printable whole: fact — a gang lieutenant's funeral at his parents' Lakeville home in October 1934 and a town court action against his mother's inn in 1937; lore — none collected, because none was found to collect. If a telling lives only in oral circulation, it stands outside every carrier this build may use, and the article leaves it there rather than inventing the telling it went looking for.
