The fugitive who killed the most FBI agents in history: short stature, baby face, only 7 years old when he was first arrested.
Text/History At 9: 30, people with short stature and baby faces invisibly give people a cheerful and easy-going feeling, which also reduces aggression. But there are always exceptions. Baby Face Nelson is an alternative with great contrast, which can be called the most fierce "baby face" in history. Photo: Nelson 193 1 Photo Nelson 1908 was born in Chicago, Illinois, USA. When he was a teenager, it was the most rampant crime period in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, and various robbers and bank robberies emerged one after another. Nelson was mixed up with a group of hooligans since he was a child. At the age of seven, Nelson was arrested for accidentally hitting his partner with a gun. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, he was jailed again for stealing a car. Nelson lived at the age of 26 and spent most of his life committing crimes. Photo: The portrait of Nelson with a baby face, at first, was just a petty theft, but later he became more and more courageous and directly robbed the rich and banks. 1930, Nelson visited the home of Charles richter, the owner of a magazine, and stole jewels worth about $205,000 (equivalent to about $3 million at current prices). Two months later, he and his associates ransacked the mayor's house in Chicago and stole $50,000 worth of jewelry. Photo: Baby-faced Nelson was not satisfied with stealing and robbing the rich, and soon Nelson turned his attention to the bank. 1930 In April, Nelson robbed the first bank and took away $4,000. In the following year, he continued to commit crimes and robbed many banks and luxury houses. As Nelson's name became more and more famous, the American police mobilized heavy troops to round him up, and finally captured him in the winter of 193 1 and detained him in Joliet State Prison. However, this is only the beginning of the plot. Nelson escaped from prison on 1932, and then intensified, reorganized his team and robbed the bank. One of the most famous is his cooperation with john dillinger's Bank Panic. John dillinger, as we have introduced before, was the most notorious bank panic in the United States in the 20th century. After Nelson and Dillinger cooperated, they not only committed many robberies, but also began to commit more murders. Photo: Baby-faced Nelson and criminal gangs in Dillinger. However, Nelson was named "public enemy number one" by the FBI. It's not just that he stole and robbed a bank, but it's as simple as a murder. You know, in American history, all the fingers known as "public enemy number one" can be counted. Nelson is only five feet four inches tall (about 162cm), but he still holds a record: three FBI agents were killed by Nelson, a baby-faced fugitive who killed the most FBI agents in history. Photo: Three FBI agents were killed by baby-faced Nelson. The first FBI agent killed by baby-faced Nelson was W Carter Baum. 1On the afternoon of April 20th, 934, Nelson took his wife and gang members on vacation in a bohemian cabin in a remote area of northern Wisconsin. After receiving the information, the FBI surrounded the small Bohemian hut, but because of the barking of the dog, Nelson sensed something was wrong and slipped away from the back door in alarm. Photo: Nelson's hiding in the Bohemian cabin hijacked two hostages and took a car on the way to escape, and then a gun battle broke out with the FBI agent who was chasing after him. I have to say that Nelson is short and effective outside the chart. Three policemen and FBI agents were shot, and agent W Carter Baum died on the spot. Nelson managed to escape by robbing Agent Baum's car. Photo: Nelson stills of the baby face in the movie. The second and third FBI agents who died under Nelson's gun were Samuel P Cowley and Herman E Hollis. 1934165438+1On the afternoon of October 27th, Nelson drove the stolen car to Chicago and was stopped by the FBI on the highway. Both sides pursued him, and then FBI agents forced Nelson to the town of barrington, 60 miles from Chicago, and a brief fierce battle broke out. The exchange of fire lasted only five minutes, and FBI agent Hollis was killed on the spot. Another agent, Cowley, survived the gun battle, but was fatally wounded and died in the early morning of1October 28th. Three FBI agents died at the hands of fugitives, which is unprecedented in the history of FBI pursuit. Nelson's record remains today. Photo: Nelson, the baby face who was killed, was not so lucky in this gunfight. After all, Nelson is at an absolute disadvantage. Although he killed two FBI agents, he was also killed 17 and was beaten into a sieve. He was only 26 when he died. Throughout his life, "Baby Face Nelson" lived only 26 years old, but spent most of his life committing crimes, which is extremely rare in the history of crime. He not only became the eternal pain of the FBI, but also became one of the notorious criminals in the United States in the 20th century.
