Chicago May
Chicago May (1870-1929) was the nickname of Mary Anne Duignan, an Irish-born criminal who became notorious in America, Britain and France. She referred to herself as the "Queen of crooks".
==Early life==
She was born in Edenmore, Ballinamuck, County Longford, Ireland. In 1890, at the age of 19, she stole her parents' life-savings and ran away to Liverpool, where she bought new clothes and booked a ticket to America.〔Nuala O'Faolain, ''Queen of Crooks: The Story of Chicago May'', Michael Joseph, 2005.〕 Upon arrival in New York she supported herself by prostitution and picking pockets. She moved to Nebraska to stay with her uncle, where she met a criminal, Dal Churchill, whom she married, but the marriage was brought to a sudden end when her husband was lynched after an attempted train robbery.〔 The marriage gave her American citizenship.
She moved to Chicago, to take advantage of the large influx of visitors at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. She teamed up with another prostitute. One would rob customers while the other was having sex with them. She returned to New York, where she worked as a dancer, but was soon arrested for stealing a wallet, earning her first jail sentence. She briefly married a friend, Jim Sharpe, but the couple separated after a short while. After this she called herself May Churchill Sharpe. She soon established herself with the local criminal underworld, becoming involved in various crimes, mostly of a petty nature, including fraud, assault, brawling, drunk and disorderly behavior, beggary and pickpocketing.
