A poster created by the Chief of Police, Edward Kern from the Police Headquarters of Los Angeles, CA on the 25th November 1907. This poster is requesting identification of a robber. A man stole a horse and buggy, which he used to hold up three businesses in one night. At the first two locations he was wearing a mask, at the last he was not. Witnesses gave a description of the man as 25 to 28 years old with a medium complexion. He has a pug nose, stocky build and his left index finger is missing. The poster is asking other police departments to search their records to see if they have a photo and other information regarding this man and is offering a $25 reward for information leading to the identification of the man. This object has yellowing and some creasing, but otherwise in good condition.
