Prof. D. E. Ashworth lifts a plaster death mask off the face of John Dillinger while his students watch on July 23,
1934 at the Cook County Morgue in Chicago. Prof. Ashworth, of the Worsham College of Mortuary Science, had
told employees at the morgue the he had permission to create the mask, but didn't. Ashworth and his students
were ousted from the morgue and the partially completed mask was confiscated by the police. Unbeknownst to
the FBI, a complimentary copy of another death mask was sent to the bureau from the Reliance Dental
Corporation, who also did not have permission. To this day, there is controversy over how many death
masks were made of Dillinger's face and the authenticity of the masks.
