"Yeah, That's where we Whacked him."

 

Frank "The Haberdasher" Coccotti, former enforcer for the Scarloni Family, reminisces about that time he whacked Freddy The Snitch, and disposed of the body in Lake Woebegone.

Allegedly.

"Granny Melvin" and Scruffy

 

STILL on Interpol's "Twenty Most Wanted", for crimes too bizarre to publicise. This is the last known picture of Granny Melvin, and her partner-in-crime "Scruffy".

No not approach...do not accept a Werther's Original from this dangerous duo.

Bonus - Fascinating stuff : 

In The Stocks

 

Joan's punishment for Not Having Henry's Martini Ready When He Came Home - 3 Hours In The Stocks.

The 1950's were tough.

Laying Low on the Costa Bravo

 

Slide number 5000 !

Google tells me that this post number 4943, so sometime I'll have to investigate...

But, Slide 5000 looks like Harry "Fingers" Hardy and Felix "The Wheel" Rochester of the Clerkenwell Mob have to hide out  in Spain until the heat dies down on the Ashbury Street Post Office job.

Bonus - Americans don't seem very good at estimating things.

'Arry The Safe, hides out in Spain

The legendary Harry The Safe poses for the camera in pre-fame Torremolinos.

Having just blown the safe on the Kiddeminster Building Society job, Harry knew that Safford would be a little too "hot" for a few months, so it was off to Spain to avoid the long arm of the law.

Harry eventually was tempted back to the UK due to the poor quality of Spanish Jelly Beans, and was arrested by Kegworth CID.

Fat Tony visits Chinatown

 

Again, it's probably just me, but this slide strikes me as being being of a head of an Italian Family, visiting his counterparts in a Chinese enclave. Could be in New York, could be Montreal, could be ....anywhere.

And certainly not for any illegal activities...officer.

The Butcher of Halifax

Don't let his mild-mannered appearance fool you.  Mr Alexander Tattsyrup is the famed "Butcher of Halifax".

His name was only ever mentioned in hushed tones, but Mr Tattsyrup (1887-1978) was a past master, and wide respected for his skills with the knife and meat cleaver.

And his sausages were damned fine as well, but his filleting of a lamb shank was a thing of beauty.
