Photo of Mrs. Baxter Shorter, wife of 'informer' believed slain. She witnessed her mate's kidnapping,
and today she screamed, "he's dead, he's dead," apparently aware of gangland code for "squealers."

 

 

Flanked by two burly guards, John L. True (2) walks behind his co-defendants, Barbara Graham (1),
Emmett Perkins (3) and Jack Santo (4) in the courtroom where they are accused of the brutal
slaying of Mabel Monohan. The three force themselves not to look at True, for he is
expected to turn state's witness.

 

 

Before the news and television cameras, Monohan murder figure Barbara Graham, denied
any part in the Chester massacre. Graham's attorney Jack Hardy sits to her right.
