Crime Notice

Original Crime Notice, dated June 20, 1917, from the San Diego, California Police Department, detailing information on a recently arrested individual by the name of "Jerry Gale."  Affixed to the notice is an original mug shot photograph of Gale.

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.

This notice is in overall very good condition, aside from slight, expected age wear.
