Evidence – NYPD Crime Scene Photographs 1914-1918 by Luc Sante
No caption. The location of this scene is not evident, although the size of the table and the impersonal-looking prints may suggest a boardinghouse or a private drinking club, perhaps a blind tiger (a pre-Prohibition illegal bucketshop) of a relatively refined sort. The ceiling is low, which may mean that it is on an attic floor. The victim was probably shot from his right, since the larger hole in the window is probably the bullet’s path of exit. The victim was well dressed, as his tie and his fancy fur hat indicate. Possibly, given the circumstances, he was a gangster.
