| Description: | Shaky, blurry dull in contrast and imagery - DOS $30,000 Reward For Lepke. A million circulars are issued by the police department offering $25,000 for Louis (Lepke) Buchalter 'Dead or Alive'. 'G'-men offer an additional $5,000 for notorious labor racketeer. Thomas Dewey makes a statement to the press: "During the past two years five former members of this gang have been shot. And now, a respectable citizen has been killed by bullets apparently intended for another Lepke associate. Lepke must be found Dead or Alive." | |
