[Music] Sensational John ER began his career of crime in moresville a quiet Indiana Town Southwest of Indianapolis readed on a farm nearby he spent his youth idling about pool rooms with other boys one of whom at least had as little moral backbone as Dillinger had that boy's name was Ed Singleton in 1924 Dillinger was 22 years old and wanted money in this grocery store owned by Frank Morgan then 65 years old Dillinger and Singleton assaulted the old proprietor and stole his wallet but Morgan Had recognized his ass salant and Singleton turned States evidence Dillinger was given 10 to 20 years in the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton conflicting stories are told of Dillinger here the probably true one is that his conduct in the Reformatory was so outrageous that the authorities were compelled to send him to a place where discipline was more rigorous and where prison severities might teach him the Folly and futility of crime as a career what he learned in this new place of detention were the vicious secrets and habits of hardened criminals this was in the penitentiary at Michigan City where he remained until pered in June 1933 let us see where this Arch foe of society sprang from while his father ran this grocery store in Indianapolis in 19002 John Dillinger was born the Little House seems to give promise of better things here 3 years later Dillinger's mother considering the gorilla her son turned out to be John Dillinger's father was and is a respected citizen of Morgan County everyone liked him and today everyone sympathizes with him there's nothing but sorrow ahead for the old man his son has taken the road to Doom from the homely shelter of this little farm John Dillinger left to become the Menace any officer would be justified in killing like a mad dog a criminal and a fool for John Dillinger is not smart only a fool thinks that Crime Pays crime never pays John should have learned that simple truth in the friend's Church where he went as a boy but he was too dumb and so 9 years after his first crime he came out of jail just to get back in again at Lima in his four months of Liberty Dillinger had identified himself as the leader in bank robberies in new carile Ohio Ferell Pennsylvania Indianapolis and Bluffton Ohio in Lima he was to stand trial for the Bluffton robbery this was in September 1933 but 2 days before Dillinger landed in the Lima jail 10 men jail friends of dillingers shot their way out of Michigan City penitential Dillinger had engineered this break from the outside and had caused guns to be thrown over the walls to be picked up by the plotting Desperados among the jailbreakers were four men of whom we'll hear later Pier Pont mackley Clark and Hamilton these men seized a passing Motorcar forced the occupants out and sped away no one knows their exact route but Michigan City and its prison lay behind them and the devil's dance was about to begin and they were going to start it they arrived at the Lima jail 5 days later representing themselves as Indiana officers the quartet demanded Dillinger failing to get him they murdered Sheriff sber whose son the present Sheriff sits on the steps of in this picture they secured the keys and calmly released their pal the five escaped through this side door ran down the sidewalk screened from the street by bushes leaped into an automobile at the curb and fled the Wild game was on cries hyenas were loose scene shift to Tucson Arizona 11 days later in this house Dillinger was found and arrested again four months had passed since Dinger had left jail these officers had him safe enough however and his Arsenal as well arrested also were Pont mackley and Clark due to their own stupidity the three Bandits were living at the Congress Hotel when it caught fire mackley and Clark offered a fireman $12 to carry out their trunks in their rooms the fireman saw their guns scrutinized the thugs recognized them and tipped off the police congratulations poed in on Police Court formalities were soon over and Dillinger was flown by plane toward the cell yawning for him at Crown Point Indiana where he was to face the charge of Murder in the slaying of omali in East Chicago the long arm of the law had reached John Dillinger and he took his first ride in an airplane chained to it in talking to reporters in tucon Dillinger admitted that he helped fix the jailbreak at Michigan City and tried to justify it because they were friends I stick to my friends he said and they stick to me but sticking to that sort of friends landed Dillinger back in Chicago on January 30th with the electric chair already casting its Grizzly Shadow over him rushed to Crown Point Dillinger was put in the custody of sheriff lilan Holly she boasted that she could keep him and he boasted she couldn't this didn't prevent the amazing happy family picture in which prosecutor is still who said he was confident that Dillinger would get the chair and the sheriff posed with Dillinger in apparently affectionate intimacy now there's to be a new prosecutor and a new sheriff but there's no prisoner but for the moment Dillinger was safely guarded by deputies armed with machine guns rifles and revolvers steel bars which looked okay and it certainly looked Mighty tough for the boastful loudmouthed Mr John Dillinger the third person to be made the goat by Dillinger at Crown Point beside EST still and Mrs Holly was Judge William Murray who refused to transfer Dillinger from Crown Point to Michigan City Penitentiary meanwhile the three bashful thugs arrested with Dillinger in Arizona were being returned by the more prosaic method of train travel to Ohio but behind the brick walls Dillinger was whittling out a piece of wooden washboard and making plans on March 3rd at 8:30 in the morning armed with his wooden toy pistol Dillinger over AED his guards armed himself and a negro fellow prisoner young blood with machine guns and revolvers from the Sheriff's Office and walked out forcing guard Ernest blunk to accompany them through this kitchen and out the side entrance unmolested and unhurried the trio went with blunk always a bit of ahead of dinger's machine gun muzzle spider lake is near the town of Mercer during the summer months of popular Resort it has little or no patronage earlier in the year it was to this point that Dillinger came with three other men and three women to Little Bohemia and spent two days AML WKA the proprietor was forced to serve the gang Federal officers surrounded the place to surprise Dillinger but Mrs waka's two dogs gave the alarm and a blast of machine gun fire opened a Battle Royal body of w Carter bomb killed by the Bandit bomb makes the 14th death directly traceable to Dillinger in Columbus Dillinger's number one friend Harry Pi Pont awaits the day of his tragic March to the electric chair for his friendship friend number two Charles mackley awaits the same day and fate through the same cause the Dillinger curse friend number three Russell Clark is faced with prison for life for the same Sinister Association outside their cells they can hear the shuffle of sullen men marching to other cells in which their sour and unhappy lives are spent in payment of their crimes hopelessness Broods here that or the Searing death of hot bullets fired from eager guns that or the knife of some friend turned assassin Prime never pay the electric chair was again cheated when Dillinger was lured to this Norths Side Chicago theater by The Woman in Red to see Manhattan melodrama a then very popular gangster picture imagine Dillinger watching the scam gangster as he began to walk the last mile like Dillinger Gable in his role was a swaggering fellow but thoughts must have passed through the to the mind of the woman sitting by Dillinger's side it was past these stores that he and his girlfriend walked as they left the theater Dillinger's six cense told him all was not well his girlfriend dropped back Dillinger scraped to a halt the full significance of those Grim approaching men was not lost to him suddenly he went into action for the last time he ran for this alley reaching for his guns bullets halted his mad rush The Guns of his assal shot through Dillinger was dead he lay in a pool of his own blood in the filth of an alley his body was rushed to the morgate police headquarters Dillinger's hair had been dyed jet black and cut very short his eyebrows had been plucked to a fine line and he had grown a small black mustache he was definitely identified as the former Public Enemy Number One his Bon sent home to his a father for burial can you picture the sorrow of this poor old man to have his son back home again even though he was still in death must have been a great load off of his aging shoulders of murders and Bank jobs Bonnie and Clyde were boldly keeping a Rendevous with some of their henchmen near Great Vine Texas while they waited they drank whiskey made love to each other and practiced their Marksman by shooting at Birds presently two State Highway Patrol officers cited the pair they decide to investigate they approached Bonnie and Clyde totally unaware of their ident identity this atrocious murder sealed the Doom of Bon and Clyde for every peace officer in the entire Southwest became so enraged over this killing they pledged themselves to Sleepless days and nights in their search for this murdering pair this untiring search finally brought the officer ERS who were detailed to concentrate all of their efforts day and night to the apprehension of Bonnie and Clyde to a spot on a Gravel Road in the state of Louisiana for three days and nights these officers lay in wait on this road but Bonnie and Clyde were wary there is a sort of a tradition among peace officers of Texas that Barrow was possessed of some sixth sense like a wild beast which foretold of danger but on this morning this six sense did not serve to warn him of their presence it looks like the car fell that's him for sure I'll guarantee you get ready now that's him fellas we reaching far let him have it look down death is at the steering wheel the inevitable end retribution here is Clyde barrel and Bonnie Parker who died as they lived by the gun Bonnie is seen leaning against Clyde Clyde was a master gunman seldom did anyone ever live when Clyde got the first shot Clyde Barrows Mania his guns spiked At Last by the law two saw off shotguns two machine rifles 10 automatic pistols and 1,500 rounds of ammunition the barow and Parker death car every one of these holes was made by the steel jacketed bullets from the high-powered rifles in the hands of the officers many of these bullets passed entirely through the door on Clyde's side through Clyde's body struck Bonnie passed through her body then out through the door on her side of the car the officers were on the left side of the road nearest the driver this explains the fact that Bonnie's body had more bullet holes and Clydes any one of these bullets would have been fatal to both but after having killed 14 people most of whom were officers of the law and having come safely through so many gun battles it did not seem advisable to fire just one bullet four of the six officers who brought down Bonnie and Clyde on the left deputy sheriff Oakley next Sheriff Jordan in whose Parish in Louisiana Bonnie and Clyde met their death next to sheriff Jordan is Deputy Sheriff Bob alorn of Dallas County Texas upon whose shoulders rested the tremendous responsibility of positively identifying Bonnie and Clyde as they came down the road he was the only man in the party who knew Barrow and Bonnie on site not a gun could be fired until he gave the word at the right is Al Corn's partner deputy sheriff Ted Hinton of Dallas County Texas who with alorn trailed Bonnie and Clyde for many months Bonnie's burial was attended only by close friends and relatives numbering about 150 including her sister Billy mace who was a prisoner of the law charged with the killing of two State Highway Patrol men for which crime her sister Bonnie had been accused Billy mace was attended at the funeral by two Deputy sheriffs and a matron of the jail Clyde Barrow's mother and father seen in the background and his brother also paid their respects to the girl who was Clyde's only friend and who died by his side in the last few words of Bonnie's own poem which she penned just prior to her death to a few it means grief to the law it's relief but it's death to Bonnie and Clyde just three months to the day after the killing of Dillinger Melvin pvis and his gang of officers killed Pretty Boy Floyd in a running gun battle near the small village of Wellsville Ohio here he is seen with his body riddled with bullets shortly before it was sent home to his aged mother thus sorrow fell again on another Humble Home 1934 was a banner year for the Department of Justice under the leadership of Jay Edgar Hoover in Chicago Baby
