Meanwhile, thousands crowded Chicago's morgue, eager to have their photos taken with the notorious bank robber's corpse.
John Dillinger was a notorious gangster during the Great Depression, led a gang that robbed 24 banks and four police stations.
He was imprisoned multiple times, escaped twice, and was charged but never convicted of a police officer's murder.
On July 22, 1934, as Dillinger exited the Biograph Theater in Chicago, federal agents shot and killed him after he attempted to flee.
