Pictures Showing the Death of John Dillinger
John Dillinger was made an outlaw hero during the depths of the Depression by Americans mired in financial ruin, loss of hope and simply frustrated by desperation brought on by the times. He was hardly a "Robin Hood" figure envisioned by the public. John was a cold-blooded killer. In one year, September 1933- July 1934, he and his violent gang terrorized the midwest, killing 10 men, wounding seven, robbing banks and even police arsenals to replenish arms and ammunition needs. While staging three jail breaks, a sheriff was killed and two guards seriously wounded. Dillinger's last day of freedom was July 22, 1934. Dillinger attended the film Manhattan Melodrama at the Biograph Theater in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago with his girlfriend, Polly Hamilton, and brothel owner Ana Cumpanas (a.k.a. Anna Sage), who was facing deportation charges. Sage worked out a deal with Purvis and the FBI to set up an ambush for Dillinger and drop the deportation charges against her. When they exited the theater that night, Sage tipped off the FBI who opened fire into the back of Dillinger, killing him. Sage had identified herself to agent Melvin Purvis by wearing an agreed-upon orange and white dress, which due to the night lights, led to the enduring notion of the "Lady in Red" as a betraying character.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·

Re: Pictures Showing the Death of John Dillinger
The third picture (the one labeled 2.jpg) is the genesis of the "Dillinger's penis" myth. Some people interpreted the tent-like position of the sheet to have been caused by an enormous penis. Actually, it was more likely caused by an arm in rigor mortis.

Should have shot him in the head, would have made an improvement.

Re: Pictures Showing the Death of John Dillinger
Wasn't there a theory that this wasn't Dillinger - I remeber watching a program on it but I can't remeber the exact details. Found this though http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/...TARY/908039997 |
