Summary

Lester Gillis, better known as 'Baby Face' Nelson, was a young gangster and bank robber from Chicago. From a very early age he seemed to always get intro trouble. In 1934, he was named Public Enemy #1 and by the end of the year, he would be dead at the age of 25. During his crime spree, Gillis, using the alias George Nelson, was responsible for killing more FBI agents in the line of duty than any other person.
