1937 Rare photograph of a slain bandit after an attempted robbery on a Post Office in Smiths Creek, Michigan. Dramatic image shows Frank Novak after he was ambushed attempting to rob the safe and slumped over the object of his desire with his blood staining the floor. A horrible end for a desperate man, whose life was probably down due to the Great Depression causing him to take extreme measures. Issued by Acme and stamped on the back with a full paper caption and offered here for the first time ever!
