Mug shot of Emmett Perkins, a safe cracker and key suspect in the
Monohan murder case.
He was named
as the kidnapper on April 14, 1953. Mug shot was taken by the Los
Angeles
Police Department's City Jail.
Barbara Graham turns and stares stonily at her husband, Henry Graham
(arrow), who refused to back
up her statement that she was having a fight with him at the time of
the Mabel Monohan murder.
His testimony knocked the bottom right out of her alleged "alibi."
Sitting in the dock in the courtroom from left to right: Jack Santo,
Emmett Perkins
and Barbara Graham.
Santo and Perkins heard themselves sentenced to die in the
gas
chamber. But Barbara won a delay
to plead for a new trial.

are guilty
of the Chester murder but I can't prove it."
