C-SPAN Cities Tour - Saint Paul: Gangster Era in Saint Paul
Learn about Saint Paul’s gangster history. Saint Paul became a safe haven for the most wanted men and women in the country in the early 20th century. Visit the court room where John Dillinger’s girlfriend and members of the Barker gang were tried and convicted, a popular speakeasy where Dillinger and other gangsters spent time and Dillinger’s residence where a shootout with the FBI took place. Paul Maccabee, author of “John Dillinger Slept Here” will be our guide.

My husband lived the the apartment right below. On our first date he asked me if I knew who John Dillinger was. He had to give me the story about his apartment building and how he lived right below where all of this happened. So cool!

I’m 17 now but when I was either 3 or 4 years old I lived in a house right next to it and my parents had creepy experiences and there used to be tunnels in the basement as well
Amazing. I am a big fan of Macabee's book DILLINGER SLEPT HERE. It makes one wonder if organized crime/ law enforcement relationships exist today. Because history does not repeat itself. People repeat history.
I'm a St Paul girl. I love this 🙂
St paul is still full of gangsters
this guy's book is awesome.

Deloris Delaney was a friend of my mother and our family, I am perrty sure I plaid in there basement that was a speakeasy at one time
Love it ! Wondering where there would be detail records of the Barker / Carpus robbery of the payroll delivery in South St Paul . One of my Uncles was in the restaurant across the street and said there where bullets sprayed all over the place.
Fascinating!
I love my city I remember for work we found this hidden room it was crazy so everyone kept thinking maybe the building was used by gangsters

Where was that? I remember hearing a story about how a homeowner in Mahtomedi was having some remodeling done and the crew accidently knocked through a wall. On the other side of the wall, old guns, booze and money were found. I think it was found to be the hideout of the Barker Karpis Gang.

This is one of the weirdest outlaw stories from MN.
XBI was good guys, back then.
Great lispy video.
This guys been shot with a Tommy Gun a few times.
He's way too excited to talk about a violent organization. Would he have that tone if he was describing a regular street gang?! Super weird. The glorifying of dangerous people is nauseating. So disrespectful.
