INDIANAPOLIS - A judge will hear an Indianapolis cemetery’s bid Wednesday to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a relative of 1930s gangster John Dillinger who wants to exhume Dillinger’s gravesite to determine if the notorious criminal is actually buried there. A Marion County judge scheduled a hearing to consider Crown Hill Cemetery’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit Michael Thompson filed in August against the cemetery. In September, The History Channel dropped out of a planned documentary on Dillinger that would have included the exhumation. Thompson and another relative applied for the state exhumation permit after they obtained an earlier permit calling for a Sept. 16 exhumation.
