We offer you a selection of photographs from the archives of the criminal chronicle of one New York newspaper, made in the style of "then and now". July 22, 1943. 105-mm self-propelled gaubitsa M7 «Priest" (priest) drives past the City Hall on the way to the building of the New York Public Library on 42nd Street, where she was exhibited as part of a military exhibition.
March 19, 1942. The photo Edna Egbert soldier's mother, who went to the front, and from which there was not a single news since. Deciding that his son was killed, she was mad with grief, and went to the cornice of the building to jump off. But this was not so easy, and she was left to stand outside in silence looking at the gathering crowd of onlookers. After a while, the police pulled the bottom of the net, and two officers got out of the windows of adjacent apartments to convince her to go back inside. When a persuasion did not work, they just tried to push it down. Instead of falling, Edna began to shout loudly and fight back.
January 11th, 1951. In the photo a strong fire almost destroyed the church of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the Brooklyn neighborhood Karrols Gardens. Later, the church was restored.

The day passed under the schedule: a prison-release of an accident, theft, and again the prison.
