6)  John Dillinger: Public Enemy No 1
In the world of gangsters, he was notorious, ruthless -- a man destined to become a legend. He turned to crime out of boredom and soon found it was too addictive to give up. Together with his gang he blazed a trail across the states of America robbing banks with a violent and authoritative ease. Luck was always on his side and his frequent escapes from the police and even prison won him an infamous respect.
John Dillinger was in trouble with the law early in life, and in one of his first stays in prison he learned the ways of the criminal world. This "education" served him well as Dillinger earned the title of Public Enemy Number One with daring robberies and defiant escapes. But his legend ended with a blazing final stand and an important victory for Melvin Purvis and the FBI.
