Smith havde en revolver i hver hånd og forlangte penge fra kassen. Frygter for sit liv, ekspedienten faldt prompte $15,309 i en sæk. John Lanigan, bankens præsident, sad på sit kontor ud for lobbyen
George Hackenschmidt (1877-1968) var en verdensrekord holder vægtløfter og World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion før brydning var forudbestemt og løftere var ved hjælp af steroider.

Jeg skrev tidligere om en episode, hvor en kriminalassistent for St. Louis Politiet blev skudt under et røveri forsøg. Unlike a number of other incidents in Gilded Age St. Louis historie, Detective Sergeant James Martin King’s home in January 1920 still exists. The home is still in excellent condition. 4973 Lotus Avenue was the home of Sgt. King in

På torsdag, Juni 12, 1919, Earl Hunter og Charles Bergman, en parolee og ex-straffefange, holdt op Meramec Trust Company kort efter den åbnes på 07:00 a.m. The robbery was not well planned and even more poorly executed. På hjørnet af Virginia Avenue og Meramec Street var en af de travleste gade bil blokke i byen. The robbers had
Chester Gould created the Dick Tracy comic strip in 1931. Originally published through the Detroit Metro, the strip moved to the Chicago Tribune where it made the paper and Gould rich through syndication. It was only a matter of time before Dick Tracy made his debut on the silver screen. Ralph Byrd played Dick Tracy in four 15 chapter serials
Mens du gør forskning, Jeg fandt dette billede af Manassa Mauler uddannelse for hans 4 juli, 1919 titel kamp med Jess Willard, World Heavyweight Boxing Champions. Willard had knocked out the great Jack Johnson in 1915 to become champion. Willard var en kæmpe af en mand, ved 6’06” og 235 pounds. He posed a threat to anyone based on size alone. Men,
