David "Chippy" Robinson (1897–1967) was a St. Louis armed robber and contract killer responsible for many crimes during the Prohibition era.
Born David Michael Robison in the North Side neighborhood of Baden, Robinson joined the Rats as a young man in the mid-1910s.
Along with Tony Ortell, Chippy was caught burglarizing a North Side gas station on August 18, 1918 when Charles Hoffman surprised them.
By the beginning of Prohibition, Robinson had become good friends with William "Dint" Colbeck, right-hand man of boss Willie Egan.
On two occasions, Chippy and his pals held up the Jack Daniel's warehouse, removing large quantities of whiskey and selling it for a profit.
Robinson and James "Sticky" Hennessey lured low-level Rat Joe Powderly to a Staunton, Illinois resort on the night of May 26, 1923.
On the long drive back to the city, Chippy propped up Joe Powderly's dead body, stuck a cigar in his mouth, and cracked jokes to him as if he were still alive.
