I know he has Winstead for sure- Winestead and the actor- day & night. Can't remember the other actor.

ghostsoldier Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Stephen Lang played Winstead, and Don Frye portrayed Hurt. Winstead in 1925 (from Larry's site) and Lang http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/ghostsoldier/PUBLIC%20ENEMIES/G-MEN/cw1925_zps14407a0a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/ghostsoldier/PUBLIC%20ENEMIES/G-MEN/9848-28706_zps8f021d11.jpg Hurt and Frye http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/ghostsoldier/PUBLIC%20ENEMIES/G-MEN/hurt33.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/ghostsoldier/PUBLIC%20ENEMIES/G-MEN/nm1675025.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/ghostsoldier/PUBLIC%20ENEMIES/G-MEN/009PCE_Stephen_Lang_001.jpg Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostsoldier Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) No problem, Jim. I like to think those two guys were as bad-assed in real life, as they were portrayed on screen; I was much more convinced of their performances, than by Bale as Pervis, or Depp as J.D. (although in fairness to them, my opinion is clouded by too much Jack Sparrow and Batman exposure, lol).

jim c 351 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Rob,I agree, particularly the part of Charles Winstead. He was portrayed as the only adult in the room.As far as real life is concerned , I think their actions speak for themselves.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Rob, good job on the comparison thing. Joe Pinkston used to have, what was believed to be, Winstead's gun that he used at the Biograph. I'm not sure it has ever been proved that he fired the fatal shot. A lady used to have a bullet that was pulled out of her hip, that was fired at Dillinger, went through his torso, out and hit her in the hip as I recall. She just happened to be standing at the entrance to the alley. There was a picture of her with the DR and bullet, that ran in the Chicago Times the next day, Monday.I've got the article somewhere. Nothing spectactular, just wonder what happened to it- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostsoldier Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 That definitely would be neat to find out....what happened to the bullet that went through JD and into a bystander! If that were to happen in today's world, she would be suing the FBI for a million dollars, as well as Winstead's, Purvis' and JD's estates!

OCM Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Lot of stuff like that gets tossed in a drawer or dumped. Dillinger's clothes were burned in about 1968, the sister just got tired of haning on to the old stuff and burned- Same fate to Bonnie's dress. Clyde's pants were made into a pair of boy's pants, then cut up for souvenirs. Little odd things like the shoe laced used to tie-up the hostages at the Racine robbery were saved and last I heard Ursula Patske gave them to the PD there. I had the original V-8 emblem off the death car- It was given to an employee of Ted Toddy's that owned the car at the time. his grand kid found me on the computer- They attempted to give it back to Whiskey Pete's to put back on the car but the casino, being a public corporation, couldn't risk accepting what could be considered as stolen property. So I bought it from the sister who's brother is a lawyer in California and we had some " discussion " about ownership. One of those where the sun don't shine discussions. I had a 45 cartridge that was dropped by Baby Face Nelson, at the Mason City robbery- Very proud of that artifact till Bill Helmer when visiting one time IDed the shell as WWII. Had a XX box magazine from the Dillinger gang's Thompson in Tucson, BAR magazine and stripper clip from the death car, stuff that's in a museum now, good place for it. Lots of other things, but a lot, as I said has been lost or dumped- Ask a 30 year old if he or she ever heard of John Dillinger- That's another reason these things get lost. Lost history. Stuff does pop up from time to time, these days.................. buyer beware. OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
