    Baltimore Post
    (MD) dated Oct 23, 1934. This original newspaper contains a page 2 bold banner headline, several photos, and news coverage of
    gangster Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd being shot dead at East Liverpool, Ohio by FBI agents led by Melvin Purvis
    .
    At one point dubbed "Public Enemy No. 1," Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd was best known for his constant run-ins with police and violent bank robberies. Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd was known for his constant run-ins with police and violent bank robberies. Floyd was arrested for a payroll robbery in the late 1920s and went on to rob numerous banks after his release. He was often viewed favorably by Oklahoma locals, who called him "the Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills." After being accused of taking part in the Kansas City Massacre, Floyd was gunned down and killed by FBI agents in 1934.
    After John Dillinger was caught and killed, Floyd became "Public Enemy No. 1," and a ,000 bounty was offered for his capture, dead or alive. Floyd avoided the authorities for more than a year after the massacre, using the alias Mr. George Sanders and going into hiding with Richetti and two women, Rose and Beulah Baird.
    It wasn't until Wellsville, Ohio, Police Chief J.H. Fultz was told that suspicious individuals were lurking outside of town that authorities found the men, with Richetti apprehended and Floyd making his escape. He was later found in an East Liverpool cornfield and a shootout ensued. Floyd was shot twice, with his last words being, "I'm done for; you've hit me twice." Two FBI agents left to get an ambulance but Floyd died 15 minutes after he was shot, on October 22, 1934.
