1
00:00:02,030 --> 00:00:05,388
Once again, the criminal is definitely a product of the times.

2
00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:10,020
The depression sent homeless men swarming to the country on freight trains.

3
00:00:10,020 --> 00:00:15,291
The panic was on—and the public enemy number one was born.

4
00:00:16,638 --> 00:00:20,191
He worked differently from the old mob, using weapons like these.

5
00:00:20,191 --> 00:00:23,395
And these were all taken from killed or captured desperadoes.

6
00:00:23,395 --> 00:00:27,908
He robbed and pillaged the countryside for a few hundred dollars loot.

7
00:00:27,908 --> 00:00:32,602
He thought nothing of killing some innocent bank tellers or other accidental bystanders.

8
00:00:33,885 --> 00:00:38,854
Local police couldn't cope with these boys, so J. Edgar Hoover and his G-Men moved into action.

9
00:00:40,154 --> 00:00:43,512
He faced a long list of desperate killers like Pretty Boy Floyd.

10
00:00:43,512 --> 00:00:47,561
The wrath was focused on this Oklahoma-bound after he had personally accounted for

11
00:00:47,561 --> 00:00:51,169
the deaths of four federal officers in a bloody Kansas City station massacre.

12
00:00:51,169 --> 00:00:54,606
When finally killed by the FBI in a little town in Ohio,

13
00:00:54,606 --> 00:00:59,133
there were ten notches in his pocket watch, one for each of his killings.

14
00:00:59,133 --> 00:01:05,008
His buddy, Adam Richetti, was later executed for his part in the murders.

15
00:01:05,008 --> 00:01:10,488
After Floyd, the FBI set full sail after a kill-crazy gunman named Baby Face Nelson.

16
00:01:10,488 --> 00:01:14,212
When cornered after a 70-mile-an-hour auto chase in Barrington, Illinois,

17
00:01:14,212 --> 00:01:18,856
he killed two G-Men before winding up dead himself in front of this lonely cemetery.

18
00:01:18,856 --> 00:01:22,202
His body was riddled with seventeen bullets in all.

19
00:01:22,202 --> 00:01:27,225
It was the courts who cut short the career of the notorious "Doc" Barker and his gang.

20
00:01:27,225 --> 00:01:31,041
He was a son of the infamous old lady of crime, Ma Barker.

21
00:01:31,041 --> 00:01:35,063
Doc is shown here at the time of his conviction for the Bremer kidnapping,

22
00:01:35,063 --> 00:01:37,920
later killed in an attempt to escape from Alcatraz.

23
00:01:39,638 --> 00:01:42,201
And a courtroom marked the end for Machine Gun Kelly too.

24
00:01:42,201 --> 00:01:46,961
He is shown being flown off to prison in chains and under heavily armed guard.

25
00:01:46,961 --> 00:01:50,873
These precautions were all too necessary. The police knew Kelly as a

26
00:01:50,873 --> 00:01:54,890
dangerous unpredictable killer who at the time of his sentencing was

27
00:01:54,890 --> 00:01:57,786
still yelling threats of death at the judge who pronounced the verdict.
