Vintage Crime News Clipping

20th century crime news clipping, dated July 13, 1933, from Fort Worth, Texas.  The news story reports of a triple murder, believed to be the result of a dispute over $72,000 stolen in a recent robbery of a mail clerk.  Afixed to a larger blank booking sheet.

From the collection of Police Chief Michael Webb (1950-2009). Webb joined the Vinita Park, Missouri police force in 1974 and served until his death in 2009, during which time he purchased crime artifacts from relatives of criminals and law officers. Boasting more than 8,000 wanted posters, pieces of Webb’s collection have been featured in film and displayed at the National Crime and Punishment Museum in Washington.

Measuring approximately 8 x 8 inches, this sheet is in overall good condition, with expected light age wear.
