harry pierpont

harry `` pete '' pierpont -lrb- october 13 , 1902 -- october 17 , 1934 -rrb- was a prohibition era gangster .
he is perhaps most noted for being a friend and mentor of john dillinger .
described as handsome and soft-spoken , pierpont was a bright , natural-born leader .
fiercely loyal , he had a reputation of taking care of those around him and not squealing on his friends .
he disliked publicity , and was content to let others , especially dillinger , take credit for the bold bank robberies committed after the michigan city prison break .
he stood over six feet tall , with light brown hair and blue eyes .
the second and third toes of his feet were grown together .
