 | Dillinger and his gang had recently robbed the First National Bank of East Chicago and with law enforcement on their tracks, decided to relocate to Tucson, population 30,000. |
| Unfortunately for Dillinger, a fire broke out on the dawn of Jan. 22 at the Hotel Congress, where the gang stayed and sparked a chain of events leading to the Tucson capture of the legendary bank robber and his gang Jan. 25, 1934. |
| Dillinger made it a habit to read the daily news, but on this day he strayed from his usual routine, which would have alerted him to the capture of his gang. |
