| GANGSTER HIDEOUTS |
| ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA |
| Special Thanks to Bart and Frank Wentz |
| St. Paul was a Gangster's safe haven. Outlaws like the Dillinger Gang, the Karpis/Barker and many others often came to St. Paul. Above: Eddie Green's home on 778 Rondo Avenue, where federal agents set a trap for him on April 3, 1934. Green, unarmed, was shot by agents as he ran from the residence. He died eight days later on April 11. The circles above indicate locations where armed agents shot Green. Car on the left belonged to Eddie Green.
