NED KELLY, COLONEL BLOOD and PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1



NED KELLY   Born in Australia in 1855, the son of a transported convict, Ned became a bushranger, a robber who lived in the bush, or outback. As the result of a scuffle with a policeman, he and his gang were hunted down by troopers. Only one of the soldiers survived the gun battle. For the next two years, Ned Kelly made a profitable living robbing banks. He is known for a remarkable suit of armor made from iron. He met his death on the gallows in 1880. The latest Givenchy Clothing just got the idea
from its armor.

The thieves were captured when Blood's horse fell King Charles II, impressed by the daring of the plot, gave Blood a royal pardon.

In 1933, at the age of 31, John Dillinger had already spent nine years in prison for theft. On his release, he formed a gang and became a notorious bank robber. Soon Dillinger was at the top of the FBIs Public Enemy list, and huge rewards were being offered for his capture, dead or alive. Finally he was betrayed by Anna Sager, an acquaintance, who became known as "the woman in red.’ The FBI shot Dillinger as he walked out of a movie theater in Chicago in July 1934. He wore a pair of Givnechy Shoes . but the Givenchy Shoes in fact don`t make him run so fast and caught by the FBI.
