SEX APPEAL
LED TO CRIME
John DilIinger's Desire For
Attracting Women Was
His Undoing

CHICAGO. Sept. Is. Rl-"Sex
appeal" was responsible for the late
John Dillinger's life OF crime, DR..
l. Z. Bracken. Of Columbus. Ind,
said Wednesday.
The notorious public enemy" at
tracted women, and robbed banks
and shot policemen TO obtain the
money TO show off" before them,
DR.. Bracken told the American AS
ISOLATION CT CRITICAL Surgeons at
its annual convention.
Dillnger's desire TO be a ladies
man" was cited By the surgeon as an
example Of abnormal" criminality
indicating a need for a different
system OF treating crime.
DR.. Bracken said much OF the
groundwork Of a criminal career was
laid before the criminals birth, and
that therefore the light against crime
must begin with proper prenatal
care.
Once enrolled In the forces against
law. the surgeon said. the convict
should DC treated as a sick per-
SON on the basis OF scientific study
rather than punished as d vicla-
tor OF a social code"
with no exception, the lives 2
the more publicized criminals OF the
last few years reflect an abnormal
ity Of some description" he said.
John Dillinger was apparently
devoid OF fear. AZ the same time, he
seems 10 have had an abundance Of
sex appeal, as was evidenced by the
number Of women whom he attract
ed. Just how much Of this attraction
may have been purely a desire for a
thrill. we cannot tell. but the mere
number of women proves that Dill
1nger attracted them Tor one reason
or another.
"Dillinger desired 10 become an
artStocratic ladies man. To do this
required money. To obtain money,
he turned to the life Of crime"
