  • Wanted: John Dillinger His Life, Death, and Burial
    WANTED: JOHN DILLINGER HIS LIFE, DEATH, AND BURIAL INTRODUCTION In a little over a year, he and his gang’s escapades, and the efforts of the authorities to stop them, contributed to the premature deaths of twenty six people, the wounding of another nineteen, prison convictions for twenty three of his associates, the robbery of at least $359,332, as well as more than a million federal, state, and local tax dollars spent pursuing justice. Despite such an ignominious career, or rather, because of it, even now, many decades after his death in 1934 at the hand of the FBI on the streets of Chicago, the grave of John Dillinger continues to attract more public interest than those of most of our other more worthy residents. That you are reading this is proof. Why this fascination with John Dillinger, a fascination which caused thousands to flock to the Biograph Theater in the hours after his shooting, “turning the neighborhood into a carnival of the macabre, with some dipping handkerchiefs and scraps of newspaper, even hems of dresses, in the dead man’s blood[?] The next day police avoided a riot only by allowing thousands more to file through the hot, reeking, fly filled basement of the Cook County Morgue to view the corpse of a man whose exploits, style, and cockiness had created his legend even as he lived. For there was an irony to Dillinger that puzzled and fascinated even the most law abiding citizen. Despite his reputation as a robber and gunman, Dillinger seemed to possess a fairly conventional value system.
