FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives By Year, 1959
In 1959, the United States FBI, under Director J. Edgar Hoover, continued for a tenth year to maintain a public list of the people it regarded as the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
1959 was notable as the first year in which none of the original top tenners from 1950 still appeared on the Most Wanted list. But 1959 opened with the FBI once again facing a top Ten list nearly filled with elusive long-timers:
- 1950 #14 (nine years), Frederick J. Tenuto, remained still at large
- 1952 #36 (seven years), James Eddie Diggs, remained still at large
- 1954 #78 (five years), David Daniel Keegan, remained still at large
- 1956 #97 (three years), Eugene Francis Newman, remained still at large
- 1957 #102 (two years), George Edward Cole, arrested July 6, 1959
- 1958 #106 (one year), Dominick Scialo, surrendered July 27, 1959
- 1958 #107 (one year), Angelo Luigi Pero, remained still at large
- 1958 #108 (one year), Frederick Grant Dunn, found dead September 8, 1959
However, captures were soon made, thus once again clearing room on the list for a new batch of fugitives. By year end, the FBI had added more than a dozen additional names.

Famous quotes containing the words fbi, ten and/or wanted:
“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“A play there is, my lord, some ten words long,
Which is as brief as I have known a play,
But by ten words, my lord, it is too long,
Which makes it tedious.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“But now, our boat climbs hesitates drops
climbs hesitates crawls back
climbs hesitates
O be swift
we have always known you wanted us.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
