One reason for this, Matera believes, is that a trial could have been very messy. Hoover had no intention of putting him on trial."

In an interview, Dary Matera, the author of " John Dillinger: The Life and Death of America's First Celebrity Criminal" says that at the time, J. Roaring across state borders, he covered vast territories and left local law enforcement in the dust. There's some evidence that he even penned a letter of appreciation to Henry Ford for building such fast machines. He stole or bought them at regular intervals and used them to outrun the cops in their four-cylinder rattletraps.
