Mug Shots

From The Smoking Gun website, some interesting mug shots.

Lewis Powell (aka Payne), one of the men who conspired with John Wilkes Booth to murder President Abraham Lincoln. [thesmokinggun.com]

Sure, he's a New York gangster and labor racketeer, but don't you just want to hug Basil "Bobby Cherry" Cervone? Maybe even pinch those rosy little cheeks? [thesmokinggun.com]

George "Machine Gun" Kelly, the notorious racketeer who gave FBI agents the nickname G-men, was photographed by Tennessee cops in September 1933 after his arrest for kidnapping a wealthy Oklahoma oil man. Found guilty of that crime, Kelly was sentenced to life in prison, where he died of a heart attack in July 1954. [thesmokinggun.com]
