April 5, 1920, Frederick Charles Smith, også kjent som “The Red-Headed Bandit”, gikk inn i Easton-Taylor Trust Company på 4474 Easton Avenue. Smith hadde en revolver i hver hånd og krevde penger fra kassen. Fearing for his life, the clerk promptly dropped $15,309 i en sekk. John Lanigan, the bank’s president, sat in his office off the lobby
George Hackenschmidt (1877-1968) var en verdensrekord holder vektløfter og World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion før bryting ble avtalt og løftere brukte steroider. Hackenschmidt oppnådd et nivå av storhet skyldes flere faktorer. Han oppnådde et høyt nivå av fysisk form. Hans fysiske tilstand tillot ham å være den mest suksessrike fotballspiller av hans tid.

Jeg skrev tidligere om en hendelse der en Detective Sergeant for St. Louis Politiet ble skutt under et ransforsøk. 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 en kald januarnatt i 1920, the deadliest year for St. Louis Politiet, kicked off violently. Two not so-bright robbers attempted to rob one of the largest and bravest officers on the St. Louis Police Department.

On Thursday, June 12, 1919, Earl Hunter and Charles Bergman, a parolee and ex-convict, held up the Meramec Trust Company shortly after it opened at 07:00 a.m. The robbery was not well planned and even more poorly executed. The corner of Virginia Avenue and Meramec Street was one of the busiest street car blocks in the city. The robbers had
Chester Gould skapte Dick Tracy tegneserien i 1931. Opprinnelig publisert gjennom Detroit Metro, stripen flyttet til Chicago Tribune der det gjorde papiret og Gould rik gjennom syndikering. Det var bare et spørsmål om tid før Dick Tracy debuterte på lerretet. Ralph Byrd played Dick Tracy in four 15 chapter serials
Mens du gjør forskning, Jeg fant dette bildet av Manassa Mauler trening for hans 4 juli, 1919 tittel kamp med Jess Willard, World Heavyweight Boxing Champions. Willard had knocked out the great Jack Johnson in 1915 to become champion. Willard var en kjempe av en mann på seks’06” and 235 pounds. He posed a threat to anyone based on size alone. However,
