John Dillinger
This 1923 American LaFrance Fire Engine used by Tucson Fire Department at the 1934 fire at Hotel Congress. The fire at the hotel flushed out three members of the gang, who were noticed by firefighters who remembered mug shots from detective magazines. A ruse pulled one of Dillinger's best gunmen into Police Chief C.A. Wollard's office. Dillinger surrendered to an officer who said, "Reach for the moon, or I'll cut you in half."
