| Description: | Same as catalog # 430394 IRWIN - GANGSTER CAPTURED A captured gangster is upset up by photographers. Nat sof. Gangster Irwin (first name John?) is in a room full of press photographers and reporters waiting to go to the electric chair. Reporters and photographers cannot be seen but they can be heard taunting him and flashes keep going off in his face (it sounds like he complains about it - or something else perhaps - bothering his eyes). The press goad him to take off his hat and he sits, smirking and smiling without remorse. He is handcuffed to the man on his right. He gets agitated and and says "Okay that's enough" and gets up, jerking the guy he's handcuffed to with him. A brief scuffle ensues and he says "Isn't the chair enough without this?" He is escorted onto a tarmac and boards a plane, still handcuffed to the same man and surrounded by other law enforcement officials. (fedora and boater hats worn) | |
