Extremely rare 1934 photograph of Raymond Hamilton in custody in Sherman, Texas. He was a top member of the Clyde Barrow gang and was arrested for murder. He would be executed the next year, making ANY image of Hamilton extremely rare. The photo has a crease to the left of the image and some pinholes from editorial use, but it otherwise presents really well. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is being offered for the first time ever fresh out of a newspaper archive.
