1936 Crime scene photograph of police fingerprinting the dead body of "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn as it lay in a pool of his own blood in a bowling alley. McGurn was a famous member of Al Capone's gang seven years earlier and was charged in connection to the St. Valentines Day Massacre. A clear and bold original with a small rip on the far left side and some handwritten notes on the back. This is the only photo of this famous gangster we have ever handled.
