DILLINGER BODY ON DISPLAY This is a vintage postcard, circa 1927, of the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City, Indiana. The image depicts how the prison appeared when Pete Pierpont, Homer Van Meter and John Dillinger were inmates there. Vintage postcard, circa 1927. Image online, courtesy Michigan City Public Library. Serving time at Indiana’s Pendleton Reformatory, John Dillinger met Harry (“Pete”) Pierpont and Homer Van Meter. Both men would play key roles in John’s future career. Known as a handsome man with gray eyes, Pierpont had a normal childhood until he was hit on the head with a baseball bat. Thereafter, various incidents caused his mother to say her boy was mentally unstable. When it came to thinking about escape from his ten-to-twenty-one-year bank-robbing sentence, however, Pierpont kept a pretty clear head. Van Meter followed a different path. A runaway at eleven, he worked in Chicago as a bellhop. At seventeen, he was convicted of stealing a car. After his parole, a year later, he and a buddy robbed passengers on a train. A Pendleton official was worried about Homer: This fellow is a criminal of the most dangerous type. Moral sense is perverted and he has no intention of following anything but a life of crime ..

  • Hotel-Congress-Fire-And-The-Capture
    Tucson Fire Department The Hotel Congress Fire and the Capture of John Dillinger Al Ring Bob Ring 0 The Hotel Congress Fire and the Capture of John Dillinger In 1934 the Hotel Congress suffered a devastating fire. While helping guests escape from the burning building, two firefighters identified two of the guests as members of desperado John Dillinger’s gang, leading to the capture of Dillinger and his entire gang a couple of days later - an event that Tucson still commemorates today. Original Hotel Congress The Hotel Congress was built in 1919 as an upscale hotel for train travelers. The hotel is located at 311 E. Congress Street, at the corner of Congress Street and Toole Avenue, right across from the historic Southern Pacific Railroad Station built in 1907 on Toole Avenue. The hotel fronts on Congress Street with the rear facing the train depot. Fifth Avenue runs along the west side of the hotel, with 10th Street along the north side. The original three-story brick hotel, built over a basement, offered 80 rooms for guests on the top two floors, with the first floor (in January 1934) containing businesses, including Blue Bird Beauty Shop, Triplett Brothers Construction Company, the Congress Barbershop, the Art Craft Stationary Company, and the Congress Hotel Cafe. This is the Hotel Congress, circa early 1930s, before the devastating fire in 1934. View looking at the southwest corner, bounded by 5th Avenue and Congress Streets. 1 John Dillinger Gang By January 1934, 30-year old John Dillinger was a “most-wanted” internationally known criminal who for months had terrorized the Midwest with a series of bank robberies, murders, and daring jail breaks.
