Anna Sage (nicknamed Women in Red) in October 1935. Sage, who is said to have worn red or orange as a mark for the FBI, had been with John Dillinger when he was shot and killed by police outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago on July 22, 1934. Sage said she made a deal with famous FBI agent Melvin Purvis. In exchange for information on Dillinger's whereabouts, she would not be deported to her home country of Romania for running a brothel in Chicago. Sage was still fighting deportation even after fingering Dillinger. Her lawyers were Thomas J. Johnson Sr. and Jr., with offices at 160 N. LaSalle Street. (Photo by Chicago Tribune Historical Photo)
