Rare 1934 photograph of Gangster John Dillinger photographed with his Attorney and Deputy Sherriff Carroll Holley at the famed Crown Point Jail. At the time this photo was taken, Dillinger was hoping for his release on the grounds of being a "Reputable Citizen of Tucson, Arizona". Dillinger as we know would escape from the Jail in Crown Point and ultimately be gunned down on the Streets of Chicago. Issued by the International News and with a full paper caption as well, the photo presents well with note to the fact that the image of Dillinger was cut out in an oval shape and then reattached. It looks fantastic and is a unique piece of history that is being offered here for the first time ever!
