The violent crime sprees of outlaws like John Dillinger, Butch Cassidy and Al Capone are the stuff of legend. But there are two sides to every story, and the heroic tales of the people who brought these criminals to justice deserve to be told.
American gangster and bootlegging kingpin Al Capone becomes law enforcement's "Public Enemy No. 1" during the Prohibition era.
George Francis Barnes J, better known as "Machine Gun Kelly", was an Irish American gangster during the Prohibition era. His nickname came from his favorite weapon, a Thompson submachine gun.
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are among the most famous outlaws in history. Murderers and hold-up artists, the pair robbed numerous banks, gas stations and stores in rural areas and killed at least nine people during their spree.
John Dillinger was the most brazen of the infamous criminals of the Great Depression, and probably the most brutal. In 1933, Dillinger rampaged through the state of Indiana, stealing thousands from banks and murdering a dozen people.
Notorious criminal Pretty Boy Floyd was involved in over 30 bank robberies and perhaps as many as 20 murders. A folkloric hero to some, he became Public Enemy #1 after John Dillinger was shot.
Lester M. Gilis, aka "Baby Face Nelson," began his crime career at an early age in a street gang in the Chicago slums. He was given the nickname "Baby Face" by his gang members because he looked much younger than he actually was.
