Baby Face Nelson

Lester Joseph Gillis (December 6 1908 – November 27 1934), aka George Nelson but better known as Baby Face Nelson, due to his youthful appearance, was a diminutive (5' 4" / 1,63 m tall) bank robber in the 1930s.Born in Chicago, Illinois, Lester Gillis began his criminal career stealing cars and spending time with future members of the gang of Roger "Terrible" Touhy. Nelson also worked for a time as an enforcer for Chicago gangster Al Capone, he also fought with Capone's ally and outfit member Anthony Accetturo, and received broken bones for his troubles - he was let go due to being "too violent" for Capone to control. Nelson came to greater prominence in 1934, when he joined the Dillinger gang. In contrast to the dashing John Dillinger, Nelson is the antithesis of popular, Robin Hood-like gangsters of the Depression era. Having a psychopathic bent, Nelson did not hesitate to kill lawmen and innocent bystanders. Paradoxically, though, Nelson was a devoted husband and father who often had his wife, Helen Gillis, and children with him while running from the law.
