Can you provide more info on the photo, or the circumstances in which it is found, since you seem to possess it in offline form? What book was it found in? Can you describe the photo?

Humphreys isn't in this one, but is it this photo?

lesli212, those are described as "leaders of the opposing {faction}" (rendered as "fashion" in the caption, which seems to have been garbled in transcription.

Capone's top gunman was Machine Gun Jack McGurn, so maybe looking for him might help you find the picture you're thinking of (unless you've misremembered the picture to which lesli212 links as of Capone allies rather than opponents)?

yeah, Sidhedevil, I saw that, but with so little information, I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I'm very curious!

Response by poster: Humphries is center. All have trench coats and matching white hats with black hat band. I doubt it is a police photo. It seems a publicity photo.
