Description

Two original 8 x 8 New York City Police Department "Wanted for Murder" circulars issued by the Detective Division on June 27, 1940, for Murder, Inc. gunmen Emmanuel ("Mandy") Weiss and Philip ("Little Farvel") Cohen. Each broadside features front and profile mug shots, complete fingerprint records for both hands, physical descriptions, aliases, and bench warrants charging first-degree murder, with instructions to arrest and extradite if located. In overall fine condition. Both men were among Murder, Inc.'s most notorious contract killers: Weiss was convicted of murder and executed in Sing Sing's electric chair in 1944, while Cohen remained active in organized crime until he was murdered on Long Island in 1949.
