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.

Larry Shay points his finger and says, "I know Santo and his gang are guilty
of the Chester murder but I can't prove it."
