John Dillinger's Surprising Reaction to Bonnie and Clyde's Death!

John Dillinger called Bonnie and Clyde "a couple of punks." Then on May 23, 1934, a posse in Louisiana fired around 130 rounds into their stolen Ford V8 and killed them both, and Dillinger had 60 days left to live. This is the documented record of what America's most wanted man actually did when he got the news. He was hiding in Calumet City when the story broke. The same day, a federal judge sentenced Billie Frechette to 2 years for harboring him. 5 days later, Dillinger went under the knife at James Probasco's house in Chicago, where Dr. Wilhelm Loeser cut apart his face and burned off his fingerprints — and an ether overdose nearly killed him on the table. He came out with a new face, a new girlfriend named Polly Hamilton, and the brand-new title of Public Enemy Number 1. He robbed the Merchants National Bank in South Bend on June 30. On July 22, 1934, outside the Biograph Theater, the government gave him the exact same ending it gave the punks. #JohnDillinger #BonnieAndClyde #TrueCrime 0:00 What Did John Dillinger Do When Bonnie and Clyde Died? 0:27 How Did Bonnie and Clyde Die in the Gibsland Ambush? 1:32 Why Did Dillinger Call Bonnie and Clyde Punks? 2:39 What Did Bonnie and Clyde's Death Teach Dillinger? 3:22 Who Arranged John Dillinger's Plastic Surgery? 4:57 Why Did Dillinger Keep His Surgery Appointment After Gibsland? 5:23 What Did Dillinger Change About His Face? 6:04 How Did Dillinger Almost Die on the Operating Table? 6:43 Did Dillinger Burn His Fingerprints Off? 7:04 Why Did Dillinger Go Out in Public With a New Girlfriend? 8:24 When Did Dillinger Become Public Enemy Number 1? 9:03 What Happened at the Merchants National Bank in South Bend? 9:34 Who Was Ana Sage and Why Did She Turn In Dillinger? 10:06 How Did John Dillinger Die at the Biograph Theater? 10:54 How Was Dillinger's Death Like Bonnie and Clyde's? 11:30 What Did the Crowd Do to Dillinger's Body?
