DIED. Daniel Sullivan, 76, crusading, mild-mannered FBI crime buster in the '30s, who helped nail John Dillinger and Kate ("Ma") Barker's gang, then in 1942 became a tenacious private investigator whose exhaustive files on criminal activity in the Southeast led to numerous indictments and helped bring about Senator Estes Kefauver's 1950 hearings on organized crime; of pneumonia; in North Miami...
