Which bank robber was killed by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theatre in Chicago in 1934?

John Dillinger, the 1st public enemy number 1, according to the F.B.I.

Wendell Thomas, Please don’t forget the Police Officer he killed was among that count. If a criminal will kill a officer, they will kill ANYONE!

I don't condone what he did but he was alot nicer then the other gangsters of that era. He only killed as a last resort which is why only one death is attributed to him. Baby Face Nelson on the other hand was a kill crazy psychopath who enjoyed killing.

and Hollywood turned him into a hero. absolute rubbish

great history info!

ZyggyStardust, no, The Biograph has been closed for several decades.

public enemy no.1 is dangerous so it's good for him

I'm thinking he was the inspiration for the movie "Johnny Dangerously"?

My grandfather was friends w/Dillenger and helped him evade capture after he robbed Central National Bank in Greencastle. IN. That was his biggest heist. Grandpa hid Dillenger and his gang under tarps behind his gas station as the cops looked for him all over town, never found him. Our local museum confirms they'd heard this same story too.

wesley, your statement rings true in these upside down times

Imagine if that happened today, the cop who shot him would go to jail.

Being from Chicago I visited the Biograph a few times and drove past in frequently! Interesting history!!

Georgia peach, I'm sorry. His WHAT is on display? (Hoping

I drove by his boyhood Home in Mooresville Indiana the other day... not much to see.. but still kinda neat

Fionashark, his member is on display at the Smithsonian on third floor, 23" alongside with fonzies jacket
