Some say he<br> can be seen in the alley by the Biograph Theater (now called Victory Gardens<br> Theater) in Chicago. Others say they see his spirit in Crown Point, Indiana<br> where he escaped from jail, and then there are those that say he can be found<br> at the John Dillinger museum in Hammond, Indiana.
