Lester Joseph Gillis (December half-dozen, 1908 – November 27, 1934),^[ane] also known as George Nelson and Baby Face Nelson, was an American bank robber who became a criminal partner of John Dillinger, when he helped Dillinger escape from prison, in Crown Point, Indiana. Later, the Federal Agency of Investigation (FBI) announced Nelson and the remaining gang of banking company robbers were collectively "Public Enemy Number Ane."

The "Baby Face up Nelson" nickname derived from Gillis existence a short homo with a youthful appearance; still, in the professional realm, Gillis'south boyfriend criminals addressed him as "Jimmy".^[2] As a violent banking company robber, Lester Joseph Gillis killed more agents of the FBI than has any other criminal;^[three] in the event, agents of the FBI fatally wounded and killed Baby Face Nelson in the Battle of Barrington (27 November 1934), fought in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois.^[4]

Early life [edit]

Nelson was born Lester Joseph Gillis on December 6, 1908 in Chicago, Illinois. He was arrested on July 4, 1921 at the age of twelve, after he accidentally shot a playmate in the jaw with a pistol that he had institute. He served over a twelvemonth in the country reformatory.^[v] Nelson was arrested again for machine theft and joyriding at age xiii and was sent to a penal school for an additional 18 months and released on Apr 11, 1924.^{[half dozen]}

He joined a gang during his mid-teens and became its leader. In 1928, he married Helen Wawrzyniak, and they had 2 children.^[7]

Criminal career [edit]

Gang affiliation [edit]

By the fourth dimension he met Wawrzyniak, Nelson was working at a Standard Oil station in his neighborhood which doubled as the headquarters for a group of young tire thieves, known colloquially equally "strippers". Nelson fell into association with the strippers, and acquainted himself with a number of local criminals, including ane who employed him to drive homemade alcohol throughout the Chicago suburbs. Nelson became associated with members of the suburb-based Touhy Gang.^[8]

Armed robbery [edit]

Within ii years, Nelson and the gang were involved in organized offense, peculiarly armed robbery. On January 6, 1930, the associates forced entry into the home of magazine executive Charles K. Richter. After trussing him up with agglutinative record and cutting the telephone lines, they ransacked the house and made off with approximately $205,000 worth of jewelry (equivalent to approximately $iii.ii meg in 2020 dollars). Two months later on, they carried out a similar robbery at the bungalow of Lottie Brenner Von Buelow (on Sheridan Road). This task netted approximately $l,000 worth of jewelry. After the criminal offense Chicago newspapers nicknamed the group "The Tape Bandits".^[9]

Depository financial institution robbery [edit]

On April 21, 1930, Nelson robbed a bank for the beginning fourth dimension, making off with approximately $4,000. A month later, he and his gang netted $25,000 worth of jewelry from home invasions. On October three, Nelson robbed the Itasca State Depository financial institution of $four,600; a teller later identified him as one of the robbers. Three nights later, he stole the jewelry of the wife of Chicago mayor Big Bill Thompson, valued at $18,000. She described her attacker, saying "He had a baby face. He was good looking, hardly more than a boy, had night hair and was wearing a gray topcoat and a dark-brown felt hat, turned downwards skirt."^[ten] Nelson and his coiffure were afterward linked to a botched roadhouse robbery in Summit, Illinois, on November 23, 1930. In the ensuing gunfight, three people were killed and three wounded. Three nights subsequently, Nelson's gang robbed a tavern on Waukegan Route, and Nelson committed his kickoff murder of note when he fatally shot stockbroker Edwin R. Thompson.^[11]

1931–1932 [edit]

Throughout the wintertime of 1931, most of the Tape Bandits were rounded up, including Nelson. The Chicago Tribune referred to their leader every bit "George 'Baby Face' Nelson" who received a sentence of one yr to life in the state penitentiary at Joliet. Nelson escaped during a prison transfer in February 1932. Through his contacts within the Touhy Gang, Nelson fled west to Reno, where he was harbored past William Graham, a known offense dominate and gambler. Using the alias "Jimmy Johnson", Nelson went to Sausalito, California, where he worked for bootlegger Joe Parente. During his San Francisco Bay surface area criminal ventures, Nelson met John Paul Chase and Fatso Negri, who after became close associates.^[eleven] In Reno the next winter, Nelson kickoff met the vacationing Alvin Karpis, who in plough introduced him to Midwestern bank robber Eddie Bentz. Teaming up with Bentz, Nelson returned to the Midwest the next summer. He committed a major banking company robbery in One thousand Oasis, Michigan, on August 18, 1933; his offset in the area. The robbery was not lucrative, though most of those involved fabricated a full escape.^[12]

Gang leader [edit]

The Thousand Haven bank robbery convinced Nelson he was ready to atomic number 82 his own gang. Through connections at the Greenish Lantern Tavern in St. Paul, Nelson recruited Homer Van Meter, Tommy Carroll, and Eddie Green. With these men and 2 other local thieves, Nelson robbed the First National Bank of Brainerd, Minnesota, of $32,000 on October 23, 1933 (equivalent to approximately $640,000 in 2020 dollars^[13]). Witnesses reported that Nelson wildly sprayed sub-motorcar gun bullets at bystanders equally he made his getaway.^[14] After collecting his wife Helen and 4-year-sometime son Ronald, Nelson left with his crew for San Antonio, Texas. While there, Nelson and his gang bought several weapons from underworld gunsmith Hyman Lehman. One of those weapons was a .38 Super Colt pistol that had been modified and so it was fully automatic. Nelson used this gun to kill Special Agent West. Carter Baum at Little Bohemia Lodge several months later.^[xv]

On December 9, 1933, a local woman tipped off San Antonio law regarding the presence nearby of "loftier-powered Northern gangsters". Two days later, Tommy Carroll was cornered by two detectives and opened fire, killing Detective H.C. Perrin and wounding Detective Al Hartman. All the Nelson gang, except Nelson, fled San Antonio. Nelson and his married woman traveled west to the San Francisco Bay Expanse, where he recruited John Paul Chase and Fatso Negri for a new moving ridge of banking concern robberies the following jump.^[16]

Partnership with John Dillinger [edit]

On March 3, 1934, John Dillinger made his famous "wooden pistol" escape from the jail in Crown Signal, Indiana. Although the details remain in some dispute, the escape is suspected to accept been bundled and financed by members of Nelson's newly formed gang, including Homer Van Meter, Tommy Carroll, Eddie Green, and John "Ruby-red" Hamilton, with the agreement that Dillinger would repay some function of the bribe money out of his share of the first robbery. The dark Dillinger arrived in the Twin Cities, Nelson and his friend John Paul Hunt were cut off by another auto driven by local paint salesman Theodore Kidder. Nelson lost his temper and gave chase, crowding Kidder to the curb. The salesman exited his vehicle to protestation, whereupon Nelson shot him dead.^[17]

Two days after this, the new gang (with Hamilton'southward participation as the sixth man uncertain) struck the Security National Bank at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In the robbery, which netted around $49,000 (figures differ slightly), Nelson severely wounded motorcycle policeman Hale Keith with a burst of sub-machine-gun fire as the officer was arriving at the scene.^{[18] [xix]} The six men were soon identified as "the 2d Dillinger gang", due to Dillinger'due south extreme notoriety, simply the gang had no official leader.^[20]

On March 13, a week subsequently the robbery in Sioux Falls, the gang robbed the Outset National Bank in Mason City, Iowa. Dillinger and Hamilton were both shot and wounded in the robbery, where they made off with $52,000.^[21] On April iii, federal agents ambushed and killed Eddie Green, though he was unarmed and they were uncertain of his identity.^[22] In the backwash of the Mason Metropolis robbery, Nelson and John Paul Chase fled west to Reno, where their one-time bosses Bill Graham and Jim McKay were fighting a federal mail fraud case. Years later, the FBI determined that on March 22, 1934, Nelson and Chase abducted and killed the chief witness against the pair, Roy Fritsch. Fritsch'due south quartered torso was said to have been thrown down an abandoned mine shaft^[23] and was never constitute.

Little Bohemia [edit]

On the afternoon of April xx, Nelson, Dillinger, Van Meter, Carroll, Hamilton, and gang acquaintance and errand-runner Pat Reilly, accompanied by Nelson's wife Helen and three girlfriends of the other men, arrived at the secluded Petty Bohemia Gild in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, for a weekend of balance. The gang's connectedness to the resort plain came from previous dealings between Dillinger'due south attorney, Louis Piquett, and lodge possessor Emil Wanatka. Though gang members greeted him by name, Wanatka maintained that he was unaware of their identities until some time later that night. Co-ordinate to Bryan Burrough's book Public Enemies: America'southward Greatest Law-breaking Wave and the Nascency of the FBI, 1933–34, this most likely happened when Wanatka was playing cards with Dillinger, Nelson, and Hamilton. When Dillinger won a round and raked in the pot, Wanatka defenseless a glimpse of Dillinger'south pistol concealed in his glaze, and noticed that Nelson and the others besides had shoulder holsters.

The post-obit day, while she was away from the club with her immature son at a children'due south birthday party, Wanatka's wife informed a friend, Henry Voss, that the Dillinger gang was at the social club, and the FBI was subsequently given the tip early April 22.^{[ citation needed ]} Melvin Purvis and a number of agents arrived by plane from Chicago, and with the gang'southward divergence imminent, attacked the society quickly and with little preparation, and without notifying or obtaining help from local authorities.

Wanatka offered a ane-dollar dinner special on Sunday nights, and the last of a crowd estimated at 75 people were leaving as the agents arrived in the front driveway. A 1933 Chevrolet coupé was leaving at that moment with three parting club customers, John Hoffman, Eugene Boisneau and John Morris, who apparently did not hear an order to halt considering the motorcar radio drowned out the agents yelling at them to cease. The agents rapidly opened fire on them, instantly killing Boisneau and wounding the others, and alerting the gang members inside.

Adding to the anarchy, at this moment Pat Reilly returned to the lodge afterwards an out-of-town errand for Van Meter, accompanied by John Hamilton's girlfriend, Pat Cherrington. Accosted by the agents, Reilly and Cherrington backed out and escaped under fire.

Dillinger, Van Meter, Hamilton, and Carroll escaped through the back of the social club, which was unguarded, and made their way n on foot through forest and by a lake to commandeer a auto and a commuter at a resort a mile abroad. Carroll was not far behind them. He made information technology to Manitowish and stole a machine, making it uneventfully to St. Paul.

Nelson, who had been outside the social club in the adjacent cabin, characteristically attacked the raiding political party caput on, exchanging fire with Purvis, before retreating into the lodge nether a return volley from other agents. From in that location he slipped out the back and fled in the opposite direction from the others. Emerging from the woods ninety minutes later on, a mile away from Little Bohemia, Nelson kidnapped the Lange couple from their home and ordered them to drive him away. Patently dissatisfied with the automobile'south speed, he apace ordered them to pull upward at a brightly lit business firm where the switchboard operator, Alvin Koerner, aware of the ongoing events, quickly phoned government at one of the involved lodges to report a suspicious vehicle in forepart of his home. Before long after Nelson had entered the home, taking the Koerners hostage, Emil Wanatka arrived with his brother-in-law George LaPorte and a lodge employee (while a 4th man remained in the car) and were likewise taken prisoner. Nelson ordered Koerner and Wanatka back into their vehicle, where the quaternary man remained unnoticed in the back seat.

Equally they were preparing to exit, with Wanatka driving at gunpoint, another machine arrived with two federal agents – Due west. Carter Baum and Jay Newman – besides every bit a local lawman, Carl Christensen. Nelson asked the agents who they were and upon the agents identifying themselves, Nelson quickly opened fire with his fully automatic pistol, severely wounding Christensen and Newman and killing Baum, who was hit three times in the neck. Nelson was later on quoted every bit having said that Baum had him "cold" and could non understand why he had non fired. It was institute that the rubber grab on Baum'due south gun was on.

Nelson stole the FBI auto. Less than xv miles abroad, the auto suffered a flat tire and finally became mired in mud equally Nelson attempted unsuccessfully to change it. Back on foot, he wandered into the woods and took up residence with a Chippewa family in their secluded cabin for several days before making his last escape in some other commandeered vehicle.^{[24] [25]}

Three of the women who had accompanied the gang, including Nelson's wife Helen, were captured within the lodge. Subsequently grueling interrogations past the FBI, the three were ultimately convicted on harboring charges and released on parole.^[26]

With an agent and an innocent bystander expressionless and four more severely wounded, including two more innocent bystanders, as well every bit the complete escape of the Dillinger gang, the FBI came under severe criticism, with calls for director J. Edgar Hoover'south resignation and a widely circulated petition demanding Purvis' suspension.^[27]

Nelson as public enemy #1 [edit]

At the time of the Petty Bohemia shootout, Nelson'southward identity every bit a member of the Dillinger gang had been known to the FBI for ii weeks. Post-obit the killing of Baum, Nelson became nationally notorious and was made a loftier-priority target of the Bureau. The focus on him and the murdered agent served to deflect some of the intense criticism directed at Hoover and Purvis post-obit the Niggling Bohemia debacle.^[28]

A day afterward the Little Bohemia raid, Dillinger, Hamilton, and Van Meter ran through a police roadblock nearly Hastings, Minnesota, cartoon fire from officers at that place. A ricocheting bullet struck Hamilton in the back, fatally wounding him.^{[29] [30]} Hamilton reportedly died in hiding on April thirty or May i, 1934, and was secretly buried by Dillinger and others, including Nelson, who had rejoined the gang in Aurora, Illinois.^[31]

On June 7, gang fellow member Tommy Carroll was killed while trying to evade arrest in Waterloo, Iowa. Carroll and his girlfriend, Jean Crompton (who had been captured and tried with Helen Gillis after Picayune Bohemia), had grown shut to the Nelsons, and his death was a personal blow to them. Nelson and his wife went into hiding during the ensuing weeks, and although they were in the Chicago area, their precise movements in this period remain obscure. The Nelsons reportedly lived in various tourist camps, while continuing to secretly meet with family members whenever possible.^[32]

On June 27, former gang errand-runner and Little Bohemia fugitive Pat Reilly was arrested in St. Paul, Minnesota.^[33]

On the morning time of June 30, Nelson, Dillinger, Van Meter, and 1 or more boosted accomplices robbed the Merchants National Bank in S Bend, Indiana. One man involved in the robbery is believed to accept been Pretty Boy Floyd, based on several eyewitness identifications as well as the after account of Joseph "Fatso" Negri, an erstwhile Nelson associate from California who was serving as a gofer for the gang at this fourth dimension.^[34] Some other rumored participant was Nelson'southward babyhood friend, Jack Perkins, too an acquaintance of the gang at that fourth dimension. (Perkins was later tried for the robbery and acquitted).^[35]

When the robbery began, policeman Howard Wagner had been directing traffic outside; responding quickly to the scene and attempting to describe his gun, he was shot expressionless by Van Meter, who was stationed exterior the bank. During the shootout that followed, Nelson exchanged fire with a local jeweler, Harry Berg, who had shot him in the chest - ineffectively, because of Nelson's bullet-proof vest. As Berg retreated into his store under a return volley from Nelson, a man in a parked auto was wounded. Nelson also grappled briefly with a teenage boy, Joseph Pawlowski, who tackled him until Nelson (or Van Meter) stunned Pawlowski with a blow from his gun. When Dillinger and the homo identified every bit Floyd (unconfirmed) emerged from the bank with sacks containing $28,000, they brought 3 hostages with them (including the bank president) to deter gunfire from three patrolmen on the scene. The policemen fired nonetheless, wounding two of the hostages before grazing Van Meter in the head. The gang escaped, and Van Meter recovered. In the constant and chaotic exchange of gunfire, several other bystanders were wounded by shots, ricochets, or flight broken drinking glass. It was the last confirmed robbery for all of the known and suspected participants, including Floyd (unconfirmed).^{[36] [37]}

During the calendar month of July, as the FBI manhunt for him connected, Nelson and his married woman fled to California with associate John Paul Hunt, who remained with Nelson for the rest of his life. Upon their return to Chicago on July fifteen, the gang held a reunion coming together at a favorite rendezvous site. When the coming together was interrupted by 2 Illinois state troopers, Fred McAllister and Gilbert Cantankerous, Nelson fired on their vehicle with his converted "car gun pistol", wounding both men as the gangsters retreated. Cross was badly wounded, just both he and McAllister survived. Nelson's responsibility was uncertain until verification came later in the grade of a confession from Chase.^[38]

On July 22, 1934, Dillinger was ambushed and killed by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theater in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The next solar day the FBI appear that "Pretty Boy" Floyd was now Public Enemy No. ane. On October 22, 1934, Floyd was killed in a shootout with agents including Melvin Purvis. Subsequently, J. Edgar Hoover announced that Nelson was now Public Enemy No. one.^[39]

On August 23, Van Meter was ambushed and killed past law in St. Paul, Minnesota, leaving Nelson as the sole survivor of the and then-called "Second Dillinger Gang".

In the ensuing months, Nelson and his wife, ordinarily accompanied by Chase, drifted west to cities including Sacramento and San Francisco, California and Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada. They often stayed in machine camps, including Walley's Hot Springs, outside Genoa, Nevada, where they hid out from October ane^[40] earlier returning to Chicago around November i.^[41] Nelson'south movements during the final month of his life are largely unknown.

By the stop of the calendar month, FBI interest had settled on a old hideout of Nelson'southward, the Lake Como Inn in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where it was believed that Nelson might render for the winter. When the Nelsons and Chase did return to the inn on Nov 27, they briefly came face to face with surprised and unprepared FBI agents who had staked it out. The fugitives sped away before any shots were fired. Armed with a clarification of the motorcar (a blackness Ford V8) and its license plate number (639-578), agents swarmed into the surface area.^[42]

Death [edit]

A plaque at the Barrington Park District in Barrington, Illinois, commemorates the lives of the three FBI agents killed past Nelson

A brusk but furious gun battle^[43] between FBI agents and Nelson took place on Nov 27, 1934, outside Chicago in the boondocks of Barrington, culminating in the deaths of Nelson, and FBI agents Herman "Ed" Hollis^[44] and Samuel P. Cowley.^{[45] [46]}

On the morning of November 27, Nelson, along with his married woman Helen Gillis and associate John Paul Hunt, headed south in a stolen V8 Ford towards Chicago on U.S. Highway 12 (now U.s.a.-fourteen). Nelson, always swell to spot federal agents, caught sight of a sedan driven in the opposite direction past agents Thomas McDade and William Ryan. Both parties simultaneously recognized each other and after several U-turns by both vehicles, Nelson wound upwards in pursuit of the agents' car. When Nelson'south powerful Ford caught up to the agents' slower sedan, Chase opened burn down on the agents. Ryan and McDade returned burn down, sped up, then pulled into a field and awaited Nelson and Chase, who had stopped pursuing. McDade and Ryan were unaware that 1 of their bullets had punctured the water pump of Nelson'south Ford. With Nelson's Ford apace losing power, a Hudson car driven by Hollis (who had been given credit as i of the agents who fired the fatal shots that killed Dillinger the previous July^[47]) and Cowley, began pursuing the Ford.

With his pursuers attempting to pull aslope, Nelson skidded into the entrance to Barrington'southward N Side Park. Hollis and Cowley overshot Nelson's car by over 100 anxiety (30 m), and stopped at an angle. Upon exiting the vehicle'south passenger door, the agents took cover behind their car. The ensuing shootout was witnessed past more than a dozen people.

Nelson yelled to Helen to take cover in a nearby ditch, then he and Chase opened fire on the agents. Both Cowley and Hollis returned fire from backside their vehicle. A single .45 slug from Cowley'south auto gun struck Nelson in the lower belly. Nelson leaned on the Ford'south running board, so wordlessly exchanged weapons with Chase. In the din of the gun battle, Chase heard Nelson complain that his weapon was jamming, and the wounded Nelson swapped it out for either a .351 Winchester or a Colt Monitor auto burglarize. Despite his grievous wound, Nelson moved from behind the car and advanced toward the agents while firing his weapon. Ii of his bullets struck Cowley. Several buckshot pellets from Hollis'south shotgun and then struck Nelson in the legs and knocked him down.

As Nelson regained his feet, Hollis, maybe already wounded, moved to meliorate cover behind a utility pole. As he drew his service pistol, Nelson fatally shot Hollis in the head. Nelson staggered over Hollis's torso, aimed his weapon at the agent's fallen form for a moment and so limped toward the agents' Hudson. Nelson drove the car over to the disabled Ford. Afterwards loading the agents' auto with the Ford's guns and supplies, Nelson let Chase get behind the wheel of the agents' car and the two men and Helen Gillis fled the scene. Nelson was shot a total of 9 times; a single (and ultimately fatal) machine gun slug had struck his abdomen and eight of Hollis'due south shotgun pellets had hit his legs.^[48] After news reports inaccurately gave his number of wounds as 17, possibly due to a memorandum release by J. Edgar Hoover stating "seven to 10 wounds" to Nelson's body. After telling his wife "I'm washed for", Nelson gave directions as Hunt drove them to a condom house on Walnut Street in Wilmette. Nelson died in bed with his wife at his side, at 7:35 p.m.^[49]

Hollis was pronounced dead presently later arriving at the hospital. At a dissimilar infirmary, Cowley lived for long plenty to confer briefly with Melvin Purvis and take surgery, earlier succumbing to a stomach wound like to Nelson's. Post-obit a phone tip from a Chicago Telephone Company employee, Carl Fyhrie, who was working on the phone lines and saw a body on the ground, Nelson's body was discovered wrapped in an Indian patterned blanket by FBI agent Walter Walsh,^[50] in a ditch on the northeast corner of the St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery in Skokie, and taken to Haben's Funeral Home, both of which notwithstanding exist. Helen afterwards stated that she had placed the blanket around Nelson's body because, "He always hated being common cold".

Newspapers reported, based on the aggressive wording of an order from J. Edgar Hoover ("find the adult female and give her no quarter"), that the FBI had issued a "death order" for Nelson'south widow, who wandered the streets of Chicago as a avoiding for several days, described in print equally the U.South. beginning female "public enemy".^{[51] [52]} After surrendering on Thanksgiving Mean solar day, Helen, who had been paroled later on capture at Lilliputian Bohemia, served a yr in prison for harboring her husband. Chase was apprehended afterward and served a term at Alcatraz.^[53]
