CHAPTER 1: JOHN DILLINGER AND HIS GANG OF ROBBERS

John Dillinger was born on June 22nd, 1903, in Indianapolis. His mother died when he was only three years old and he was raised by his sister until his father John Sr. remarried in 1912.

In 1919, the elder Dillinger moved the family to a farm near Mooresville. The family would eventually consist of two-half sisters and a half-brother. He thought the farm life would be good for his children. John never took to the farm and spent most of his free time in Indianapolis or in Martinsville, south of Mooresville. In 1923, after John had supposedly stolen an automobile, he joined the Navy to escape arrest. No charges were ever filed on the matter. Within months John jumped ship and headed back home, telling people he was discharged from the Navy. In early 1924 he met a sixteen year old girl named Beryl Hovious, and married her in April.

It was soon evident that John took to married life as uneasily as he did to the Navy. He often stayed out late, and the young couple fought frequently. John met Ed Singleton while playing on the Martinsville baseball team. An older man with a criminal record, he told John ways to make easy money, and it is believed that Singleton coerced the young and impressionable Dillinger into robbing an elderly Mooresville grocer, B.F. Morgan.

On the evening of September 6th, 1924, Dillinger, who had been drinking, accosted Morgan as he walked past the Christian Church. Armed with a .32 revolver and a bolt wrapped in a handkerchief, Dillinger hit the grocer over the head with the bolt. When Morgan fought back, John hit him again. Morgan began shouting and grabbed the gun John was holding. It discharged and Dillinger ran, fearing hed shot the man. Singleton was supposed to be waiting in a car for him, but Dillinger found his partner had disappeared.

John was picked up a few days later and questioned. There was no hard evidence against him. Even Morgan refused to believe it was John whod attacked him. John, however, was persuaded to plead guilty and was promised a lenient sentence, and John did so without a lawyer present. The Judge threw the book at the young Dillinger, sentencing him to ten to twenty years in Pendleton. Singleton, who had a past criminal record and had enlisted a lawyer, was given half the time.

Singleton made parole in a couple years while John suffered in prison for nine years. Dillingers wife, meanwhile, divorced him while he was locked away. Their marriage had had a rocky beginning, but John had grown to adore his wife, and was devastated by the divorce.

John was paroled on May 22nd, 1933, at the age of thirty, with one thing on his mind: to earn back the nine years that had been taken from him. He was going to make a name for himself in a very short time span. The golden era of bank robbery was coming to a close and John knew his time was limited. Before his release, he and fellow inmate, Harry Pierpont, had masterminded a mass prison escape. John would be the one to see it happen.

Robbing several banks and businesses to raise the money needed to smuggle guns to Pierpont in Michigan City, Dillinger worked with an assortment of ex-convicts. William Shaw, Harry Copeland, Hilton Crouch, and Sam Goldstein, were among them. Dillinger also began dating a sister of a convict that was included in the prison escape plot, Mary Longnaker, who was living in a boarding house in Dayton, Ohio. In September, the police caught wind of Dillingers relationship with Mary, and on September 22nd, 1933 John was arrested there while he visited her. On September 26th, Pierpont and nine others boldly escaped from the Michigan City prison with the guns smuggled in by Dillinger. Included in the escape were Charles Makley, Russell Clark, John Hamilton, Ed Shouse, Walter Dietrich, Joe Burns, Joe Fox, Jim Clark and Longnaker's brother, James Jenkins.
