John Herbert DILLINGER

 
 
 

 

Dillinger was shot and killed by FBI agents on July 22, 1934 at the Biograph Theater on Lincoln Avenue in
Chicago after receiving a tip from Dillinger's friend Anna Sage. Sage, known as the "Woman in Red," told
authorities that she, Dillinger, and Dillinger's girlfriend Polly Hamilton Keele would be at the movies and
to look for her dressed in red. Some reports say Sage was actually dressed in orange.

shot and killed him when he attempted to draw a gun.

(Original Caption) Chicago. Dillinger's End!!! They had to kill John Dillinger to get him. Here he lies in a police
patrol wagon after three bullets, fired by Federal operatives, had ripped through his body, as he left a dime
movie-house. Two pierced his heart accounting for the huge blood splotch on his left breast. One coursed
downward and came out through his eye, after penetrating the top of his head. The man who had robbed
banks of hundreds of thousands of dollars is attired in a chap flannel shirt, bargain counter wash tie, and
a cheap grade of flannel trousers. The disguise glasses have fallen from his nose. His face had been
altered by surgery. His hair is dyed.
