George Dale (criminal)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Dale (1895 – April 20, 1934[1]) was the lover and criminal partner of Eleanor Jarman, dubbed by the press "The Blonde Tigress".[2] Dale was executed by the state of Illinois in 1934 for the murder of Chicago clothier Gustav Hoeh.[3]

Dale was the triggerman in the robbery of Hoeh's store, and was the only one of the gang (the other member was Leo Minnici) to get the death penalty.[4] Both Minnici and Jarman were sentenced to 199 years for the August 1933 murder.[4] Minnici was paroled in 1957.[5] Jarman escaped from prison in 1940 and was never caught.[3]

One of Dale's last acts before his electrocution was to write a love letter to Jarman.[3]
