John Diliger !!!!! The Most Baddass American Gangster Ever!!! by ahkenaten(m): 9:05am On Sep 05, 2014 |
I know you've been hearing of american gangsters....but this one stands out from among his peers.... This guy was so badass that president Hoover rebranded the fbi and launched a more organised campaign against him. He gave the fbi so much trouble that after his death, the fbi used his face on the target board for shooting practise frim then on....yeahhh he was that badass... And like all strong men, a woman gave him up....the popular woman in red!. John Herbert Dillinger (June 22, 1903 – July 22, 1934) was an American gangster and bank robber in the Depression- era United States. His gang robbed two dozen banks and four police stations. Dillinger escaped from jail twice; he was also charged with, but never convicted of, the murder As a teenager, Dillinger was frequently in trouble with the law for fighting and petty theft; he was also noted for his "bewildering personality" and bullying of smaller children. [5] :14 He quit school to work in an Indianapolis machine shop. Although he worked hard at his job, he would stay out all night at parties. His father feared that the city was corrupting his son, prompting him to move the family to Mooresville, Indiana, in 1921.[5] :15 Dillinger's wild and rebellious behavior was resilient despite his new rural life. In 1922 he was arrested for auto theft, and his relationship with his father deteriorated. [5] :16–17 His troubles led him to enlist in the United States Navy where he was a Fireman 3rd Class assigned aboard the battleship USS Utah,[9] but he deserted a few months later when his ship was docked in Boston. He was eventually dishonorably discharged. Dillinger was unable to find a job and began planning a robbery with his friend Ed Singleton. [5] :22 The two robbed a local grocery store, stealing $50. [5] :26 Leaving the scene they were spotted by a minister who recognized the men and reported them to the police. The two men were arrested the next day. Singleton pleaded not guilty, but after Dillinger's father (the local Mooresville Church deacon) discussed the matter with Morgan County prosecutor Omar O'Harrow, his father convinced Dillinger to confess to the crime and plead guilty without retaining a defense attorney. [5] :24 Dillinger was convicted of assault and battery with intent to rob, and conspiracy to commit a felony . He expected a lenient probation sentence as a result of his father's discussion with prosecutor O'Harrow, but instead was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison for his crimes. Dillinger had embraced the criminal lifestyle behind bars in the Indiana Reformatory (1924-1930) in Pendleton, Indiana and Indiana State Prison in Michigan City . Upon being admitted to the prison he is quoted as saying, "I will be the meanest bastard you ever saw when I get out of here."[5] :26 His physical examination upon being admitted to the prison showed that he had gonorrhea . The treatment for his condition was extremely painful. [5] :22 He became embittered against society because of his long prison sentence and befriended other criminals, such as seasoned bank robbers like Harry "Pete" Pierpont , Charles Makley , Russell Clark, and Homer Van Meter , who taught Dillinger how to be a successful criminal. The men planned heists that they would commit soon after they were released. [5] :32 Dillinger studied Herman Lamm 's meticulous bank- robbing system and used it extensively throughout his criminal career. His father launched a campaign to have him released and was able to get 188 signatures on a petition. Dillinger was paroled on May 10, 1933, after serving nine and a half years. He immediately returned to crime [5] :39 and on June 21, 1933, he robbed his first bank, taking $ 10,000 from the New Carlisle National Bank, which occupied the building at the southeast corner of Main Street and Jefferson (State Routes 235 and 571) in New Carlisle, Ohio.[12] On August 14, Dillinger robbed a bank in Bluffton, Ohio . Tracked by police from Dayton, Ohio, he was captured and later transferred to the Allen County jail in Lima to be indicted in connection to the Bluffton robbery. After searching him before letting him into the prison, the police discovered a document which appeared to be a prison escape plan. They demanded Dillinger tell them what the document meant, but he refused. [7] Dillinger had helped conceive a plan for the escape of Pierpont, Clark and six others he had met while previously in prison, most of whom worked in the prison laundry. Dillinger had friends smuggle guns into their prison cells, with which they escaped, four days after Dillinger's capture. The group, known as "the First Dillinger Gang," comprised Pete Pierpont, Russell Clark, Charles Makley , Ed Shouse, Harry Copeland, and John "Red" Hamilton, a member of the Herman Lamm Gang. Pierpont, Clark, and Makley arrived in Lima on October 12, where they impersonated Indiana State Police officers, claiming they had come to extradite Dillinger to Indiana. When the sheriff, Jess Sarber, asked for their credentials, Pierpont fatally shot him, then released Dillinger from his cell. The four men escaped back into Indiana where they joined the rest of the gang. [7] Sheriff Sarber was the gang's first police killing, of an estimated 13.[13] The Bureau of Investigation was a precursor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation .[2] The Bureau of Investigation was renamed the "Division" in 1933 until in the 1935 Department of Justice budget appropriation, Congress officially recognized the Division as the "Federal Bureau of Investigation" effective March 22, 1935, when the President signed the appropriation bill. The newly designated FBI was brought into the investigation to help identify the criminals, although the men had not violated any federal law. Bank robbery was not yet a federal crime, so police officers were powerless to pursue robbers across state lines.[14] It was one of the first cases in which the FBI intervened in matters outside its jurisdiction. Using their superior fingerprint matching technology, they successfully identified all of the suspects and issued national bulletins offering rewards for their capture. [7] Banks confirmed to have been robbed by Dillinger were: Before Lima New Carlisle National Bank, New Carlisle, Ohio , of $ 10,000 on June 21, 1933; [12] The Commercial Bank, Daleville, Indiana, of $3,500 on July 17, 1933; Montpelier National Bank, Montpelier, Indiana , of $ 6,700 on August 4, 1933; Bluffton Bank, Bluffton, Ohio, of $6,000 on August 14, 1933; Massachusetts Avenue State Bank, Indianapolis, Indiana, of $21,000 on September 6, 1933; After Dillinger was broken out of Lima Central National Bank And Trust Co., Greencastle, Indiana, of $74,802 on October 23, 1933; American Bank And Trust Co., Racine, Wisconsin , of $28,000 on November 20, 1933; First National Bank, East Chicago, Indiana, of $20,000 on January 15, 1934; After escaping Crown Point Securities National Bank And Trust Co., Sioux Falls, South Dakota, of $49,500 on March 6, 1934; First National Bank, Mason City, Iowa, of $52,000 on March 13, 1934; First National Bank, Fostoria, Ohio , of $17,000 on May 3, 1934; Merchants National Bank, South Bend, Indiana, of $ 29,890 on June 30, 1934. [ To obtain more supplies, the gang attacked the state police arsenals in Auburn and Peru, stealing machine guns, rifles, revolvers, ammunition and bulletproof vests. [7] On October 23, 1933, the gang robbed the Central National Bank & Trust Company in Greencastle, Indiana , making off with $74,802. They then headed to Chicago to hide out. On November 20, the gang traveled to Racine, Wisconsin and robbed the American Bank and Trust Company, making off with $28,000. On December 14, 1933, CPD Detective William Shanley was killed.

Division of Investigations chief J. Edgar Hoover created a special task force headquartered in Chicago to locate Dillinger. On July 21, a madam from a brothel in Gary, Indiana, Ana Cumpănaş , also known as Anna Sage, contacted the police. She was a Romanian immigrant threatened with deportation for "low moral character" [81] and offered the federal agency information on Dillinger in exchange for their help in preventing her deportation. The agency agreed to her terms, but she was later deported. Cumpănaş told them that Dillinger was spending his time with another prostitute, Polly Hamilton, and that she and the couple would be going to see a movie together on the following day. She agreed to wear an orange dress, which is believed to have appeared red in the artificial lights of the theater,[82] so that police could easily identify her. She was unsure which of two theaters they would be attending but told the agency their names: the Biograph and the Marbro.[7] A team of federal agents and officers from police forces outside Chicago was formed, along with a very few Chicago police officers. Among them was Sergeant Martin Zarkovich, to whom Sage had informed on Dillinger. Federal officials felt that the Chicago police had been compromised and could not be trusted, and Hoover and Purvis also wanted a Federal coup for their own reasons. [82] Not chancing another embarrassing escape, the police were split into two teams. On Sunday, July 22, one team was sent to the Marbro Theater on the city's west side, while another team surrounded the Biograph Theater at 2433 N. Lincoln Avenue on the north side. During the stakeout, the Biograph's manager thought the agents were criminals setting up a robbery. He called the Chicago police who dutifully responded and had to be waved off by the federal agents, who told them that they were on a stakeout for an important target. [7] Sage had had a lengthy history of arrests: As Katie Brown, arrested in Gary, Indiana, as prostitute 2-12-23. Case dismissed July 17, 1923. As Katie Brown, arrested as prostitute August 11, 1923. Found guilty August 13, 1923. Amount of fine not indicated. As Katie Brown, arrested as keeper of the house of ill fame May 25, 1924. Found not guilty. As Anna Sage, arrested February 8, 1930. Keeper of house of ill fame. Found guilty. Sentenced 90 days in Women's State Prison. Fine $25 and cost. Prison sentence suspended pending good behavior. and before they left to attend the Biograph, "Dillinger counted out his money on his bed, and made note of the amounts of different denominations of bills he had. She said he separated fives, tens and twenties; that he had $ 1,000 in five-dollar bills, which he put a rubber band around and placed in his left-hand trouser pocket, and had about the same amount in ten-dollar bills, which he also fastened with a rubber band and placed in his left hip pocket. He had 65 twenty-dollar bills, which he placed in a leather billfold and placed in his right hip trouser pocket. She stated the billfold was "a very nice one, being hand- tooled." She stated that Dillinger always put some small bills in his right-hand trouser pocket, so he would not have to wait for change of a large bill when he purchased theatre tickets; that he also kept his gun in his right-hand trouser pocket What should have surprised no one, least of all the federal agents and police, Dillinger selected the Clark Gable gangster picture Manhattan Melodrama right around the corner at the Biograph instead of going across town to see Shirley Temple in Little Miss Marker at the Marbro. As determined previously, Dillinger was accompanied by Polly and Anna. Once they knew that Dillinger was in the theater, the lead agent, Samuel P. Cowley , contacted J. Edgar Hoover for instructions, who recommended that they wait outside rather than risk a gun battle in a crowded theater. He also told the agents not to put themselves in harm's way and that any man could open fire on Dillinger at the first sign of resistance. When the film let out, Purvis [86] stood by the front door and signaled Dillinger's exit by lighting a cigar. Both he and the other agents reported that Dillinger turned his head and looked directly at the agent as he walked by, glanced across the street, then moved ahead of his female companions, reached into his pocket but failed to extract his gun, [5] :353 and ran into a nearby alley.[82] Other accounts state Dillinger ignored a command to surrender, whipped out his gun, then headed for the alley. Agents already had the alley closed off, but Dillinger was determined to shoot it out. [87] Three men fired shots: Clarence Hurt fired twice, Charles Winstead fired three times, and Herman Hollis fired once. Dillinger was hit from behind and he fell face first to the ground.[88] Two female bystanders, Theresa Paulas and Etta Natalsky, took slight flesh wounds in the legs and buttocks from flying bullet and brick fragments. Dillinger bumped into Natalsky just as the shooting commenced. [16][82] Dillinger was struck four times, with two bullets grazing him, one cut a superficial hole in his right side, and the fatal shot - which entered Dillinger through the back of his neck, severed his spinal cord and tore through his brain before exiting out the front of his head just under his right eye, severing two sets of veins and arteries. [3] Although three agents shot Dillinger, Winstead was believed to have fired the fatal shot, and he received a personal letter of commendation from Director Hoover
