75 years ago (22 July 1934), the last of the Great Depression gangsters of Chicago was gunned down by FBI agents.

John Dillinger, was labelled by J. Edgar Hoover as Public Enemy No. 1.  But the public had no sympathy for the banks that had helped plunge the country into the Depression and those who robbed the banks, however viciously, were seen by many as heroes. 

A major new movie, Public Enemies, opens this summer, directed by Michael Mann and starring
Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard.
