I found this photo online on a Brooklyn-dedicated web page. I had never seen it before and thought I'd share with you.

That's Johnny Torrio with the handkerchief over his face. He was walking out of court in Brooklyn after he had posted bail on vagrancy (?) charges. It happened 67 years ago today (November 29, 1944).

People in general seemed to dress so much better in those days.

Come and tell that to the people here in Holland, cant find anything decent to dress. I admire the fashion in Italy and United States.

Agreed. Which is why I wear my camel-hair trench coat and fedora over my pinstripe suit everytime I do the grocery shopping. I mean, I should be the one giving everyone else weird looks, instead of the other way around. As if you wouldn't want to dress like a 1930's era gangster.

Im trying to bring it back, but for some mysterious reason it's not catching on. Probably because Mrs Meatballs refuses to dress like a flapper. Yep, that must be it.

(cough.)

A few more pix of interest, in no particular order.




^ Nov. 29, 1972. Carmine Tramunti being arrested in Brooklyn.

.

.



^ Nov. 30, 1939. Louis "Lepke" Buchalter after the first day of his trial in Federal Court, Brooklyn.

.

.



^ A "map" of Mobsters dated 1933. Not particularly accurate but still interesting to see.

.

.



^ Nov. 12, 1941. Abe Reles, main Murder, Inc. hitman lies dead on Coney Island rooftop after he jumped (or was pushed) from his hotel room. He was being guarded in that room by police while he waiting to testify against his fellow mobsters. He became known as "the canary that could not fly".

Great photos, SC. The first is Johnny Torrio from the Chicago mob right? Just wondering 'cause it says he was at the courthouse on Brooklyn.

Yeah. Torrio lived in Brooklyn before he moved to greater fame in Chicago, and then he returned to Brooklyn after he "retired" from the Mob. That first picture looks like he was downtown near the courts. Maybe Atlantic Avenue?

Read a bio on Lepke last year, but never saw that picture, thanks SC.
