'''Alvin Francis Karpis''' (born '''Albin Francis Karpavičius'''; August 10, 1907 – August 26, 1979), a Depression-era gangster nicknamed "'''Creepy'''" for his sinister smile and called "'''Ray'''" by his gang members, was a Canadian-born (naturalized American) criminal of Lithuanian descent known for being a leader of the Barker–Karpis gang in the 1930s. Karpis led the gang along with [[Fred Barker]] and [[Arthur Barker|Arthur "Doc" Barker]]. There were only four "public enemies" ever given the title of "Public Enemy #1" by the FBI and he was the only one to be taken alive. The other three, [[John Dillinger]], [[Pretty Boy Floyd]], and [[Baby Face Nelson]], were all killed before being captured. He also spent the longest time as a federal prisoner at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, serving twenty-six years.
