murder trial.

waits to be arraigned
in the Monohan murder trial.
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.
Photo of murder-kidnap suspects Jack Santo and Barbara Graham were
captured with
Emmett Perkins (not shown) in Lynwood. The police 'tailed' Barbara
to their hideout.
